We recommend a change in the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code which would allow an annual inspection of farm truck with farm truck license in lieu of the semi-annual inspection now required for trucks. These inspections are to be con ducted by authorized inspection stations as now required. 2. We request an investigation by the Insurance Com mission on the rating disparities now existing between self propelled equipment and other farm equipment. If these rate differences cannot be justified by loss and revenue from the Insurance Commission, we recommend that Far mers Union take appropriate action to equalize the fees per unit of coverage. 3. We oppose the restrictions that will apply on moving farm equipment upon or across public highways, in the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code which will become effective July 1, 1977. We recommend an amendment that would exempt from permit requirements all farm equipment under 174 inches (14 Vt feet) used by the owner and-or operator in his own operation. 4. We commend the advances made in farm truck licensing and recommend that the mileage allowance be extended unlimited-statewide. 5. Recognizing the regressive taxation method of property tax, we recommend a change in the Pennsylvania State Constitution to allow a graduated income tax as a means of supporting schools at local levels. The revenue derived from this taxation shall eliminate the school tax Lorn property taxation. PUBLIC SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE ON SATURDAY, MARCH 19,1977 At 1:30 P.M.

We recommend the enactment of a state law prohibiting the entry of non-farm corporations, limited partnerships with non-farm interests, or other non-farmer structures into agriculture and forcing those already in agriculture to divest themselves of their agricultural interests. 7. We oppose state farms which have been closed by state welfare and correctional institutions being rented or sold for other than agricultural use. We further recommend that state farm lands be kept for agricultural purposes and that they be taxable by local taxing bodies. 8. We favor legislation that will prohibit the condemnation of prime farmland for certain purposes unless a committee composed of the state planning board, the dean of the college of agriculture, the secretary of agriculture, the secretary of DER, and two active fanners appointed by the governor determine that there is no prudent or feasible alternative. 9. We recommend legislation to amend the Inheritance and Estate Tax Law of 1961 to allow for agricultural land and forest reserve to be taxed for inheritance purposes on its value for such uses. 10. Due to the need for relieving the burden of transferring farm property from one generation to another, we recom mend a change in the state inheritance tax to exempt to 1200,000.00, which amount shall be increased annually to reflect changes in the cost of living index, for farm property to surviving spouse or direct lineal descendents, providing the land will not be converted to non-agricultural use for a minimum of ten years. If the recipient of the tax exemption would not continue with the provision for exemption, the original tax schedule would apply. 11. We recommend that depreciation should not be con sidered as income when applying for educational grants. 12. We oppose present income tax provisions requiring payment of income tax on entire sales price of property on contract sales in the year of sale. We recommend a change in the law to allow payments to be taxed in the year payments or income is received on contract sales or any other deferred payment sales. 13. We oppose throwaway and other non-returnable con tainers. 14. We recommend a change in the Pennsylvania Game Law which would allow fanners to keep deer killed because of crop damage, whether the land is posted or not. 15. Due to crop loss and farm machinery damage (due to burrows) that are imposed on farmers, we urge the Game Commission to change from the present regulated season to an open (year round) season on groundhogs (woodchucks).
