This measure has a broad base of support from a variety of groups including the Pennsylvania Food Processors and the Penn sylvania Poultry Federation. In addition to protecting fanners from nuisance ordinances passed by local governments against normal farming practices like spreading manure or using lime, it would protect food processors who produce and process 51 percent of a given commodity. The Poultry Federation says chances for passage of H 81794 look favorable in the upcoming session. Inheritance taxes are the fitting and showmanship.

I I I I Legislative roundui moves to state senate target of HB 1176. That measure would ammend the 1961 Inheritance tax act, and its main impact would be on farm sales after the death of the farm’s owner.
