Good one!! These guys disgust me!!!
1) they got a smaller herd!!!! 15 years are harvest is in HALF!!!! Western 3rd of state has been devasted along with many regions in other parts of state - from ehd. Not to mention habitat loss
2) they can already get depredation tags!!!! Plus 4+ months of hunting season. + financial incentives to enroll ground in walk in hunting. CO’s with standing list of guys wanting to shoot does- that list that never gets demand met.

Hey Farm Bureau!!!!! Why don’t you tell your members about the facts & solutions above?????

KILL ALL THE DEER to reduce $5.2m in claimed corn damage statewide on a $11B annual corn crop. Eliminate all the deer to save $5.2m in crop damage but killing the MINIMUM economic value of whitetail of $180m per year!!! You can’t make this up - it makes no sense.

Forest reserve “pay your fair share” - the tiny sliver spent on saving our forest that will cost us possibly 50x fold in losses & costs if more forest goes (soil, future timber value, pollution costs, loss of habitat that impacts the $180m deer economy, etc). HOW BOUT THIS!?!??! How about we TRADE…. Let’s impose a tax increase on land owners for forest so they pay their fair share AND we add sales tax back to farmers (ME!!!!!) so we pay our fair share!!!! How about it Farm Bureau?

THIS WILL NOT BE POPULAR
But how bout we tax the ag properties like we do residential somewhat closer to market value rather than a % of a %. $500,000 house pays $6000 in taxes, $250,000 40 ag acres pays $850, less than half. Now who isn’t paying their share…..

I'd rather get rid of all property taxes. Forcing someone to pay the government a yearly tax so they can keep what they already paid for is criminal. The government should not be able to take something away that you legally purchased.
Spend less, tax less.

How many times you gonna say the same thing. Be a lobbyist, visit the state capitol, we get your position. Horse meet stick.

That is the exact method the communist would love to use to strip the land from red blooded American land owner!!!!

That isn't even a funny bad joke.

Not to mention owning ag land in a different area than you live you get hosed on all of the tax levy votes. A few years ago the school district next to ours wanted a new school. So they had a vote and it passed. Property taxes on farm ground we owned in the district went up a ton, but we were not allowed to vote on it. That is taxation without representation in my eyes. And before anybody says to just buy land closer to home, this land is only 4 miles from home.

I don’t follow this and how it relates to communism?

So are the commies already stealing from the residential landowners?

I’m just responding to the comment of taking a tax break away and some saying it just ain’t right to have the forest exemption yet we give significant break to ag land worth significantly more while letting residential and commercial properties be taxed at higher rates and carrying more burden of paying to run our state and local governments.

Communits believe we should not own anything, let the government provide. Everything equal. Squaller for everyone!


How do you strip the land from the land owner/farmer

Simple..... Raise taxes. Like you mention above. If the tax of land was porpotrional to the tax of housing there would be no possible way to ever profit from the land ie forced to sell.

Scary thought!

Looks like committee approved the new farm unit requirement 21-0 today. However, it’s amended lessening the acreage requirement to 20 ac purchased after 01/11/2027. It appears there’s a grandfather clause in here for current landowners. I don’t quite get the 2027 date but it’s in there.
