A26—Lancaster Pennine, Saturday, March 29,1980 State house approves capital stock exemption HARRISBURG - Legislation to help preserve family farms has been adopted by the House. Rep. Noah W. Wenger, prime sponsor of the measure, said the legislation to exempt family farm corporations from the state capital stock and franchise tax passed Wednesday by an overwhelming 155 to 31 vote. “This tax has discouraged many farm families from incorporating their holdings,” Wenger said. “By not incorporating it’s very costly to pass the farm from one generation to the next. “My legislation will exempt tins type of cor poration from the stock tax and thus encourage families to benefit from the many advantages of being in corporated.” Two attempts to amend the bill were beaten back. The first amendment gathered only 26 votes. The second was withdrawn from consideration. Governor Richard Thornburgh has indicated he will sign the bill when it gets Montgomery County offers tractor safety NORRISTOWN - The Montgomery County Ex tension Service will offer a tractor safety certification course for area youth.

Next hurdle is the state senate, but Wenger said he anticipates no problems there. He said he anticipates early action on the bill in the senate. He also said he hopes the bill will help insure that Pennsylvania remains a major food producer. “Our state has nch land, abundant water supplies and good agricultural climate,” he said. “We need to preserve this great strength.” This legislation will help keep family farms together and see that they are not split up and used for non fanning purposes.
