In article , Ed Huntress says...
I didn't look it up, but he may be talking about a zoning/taxation regulation, like we have here in NJ and some other states. Ag land is taxed at a very low rate. Once it's designated agricultural, and you claim agricultural tax rates for it, you can't run some other kind of business there, which would carry a much higher tax rate. Or maybe that's not it. That would be it if he were talking about my state. New Jersey? Can they still grow things in NJ? I thought after that last dioxin leak, it was pretty tough to get stuff to germinate. :^) Maybe cranberries?

The effective word is ONLY, which means that it is used for no activity whatsoever that isn't agriculrtural. Even a slight secondary usage, say on one day a year, will lose its exemption status. |

We're #2 in blueberry production, something like #3 in cranberry production, #4 or #5 in peach production, and so on. Right, but before you do the twenty percent, you need to remove the dioxin-contaminated districts. Once that's done, overall it winds up being about 0.2% agricultual. I think that's my dad's garden anyway. The real people-packing is mostly in the northeast corner and the southwest corner, plus a strip along the seashore. That's where I grew up, the very northeast corner of the state. It's actually still pretty rural.
