A3O-Uncister Farming, Saturday, July 5,1986 We are reminded each year by the Secretary of Agriculture that filing deadline for farmland assessment applications is August l..and that it is indeed a deadline! There is no grace period fo l ' late filing. Landowners who have been in the program are well aware of this annual requirement, but to be sure that everyone gets the word, Secretary Arthur Brown issues his statement this time of year. “Fanners who do not apply their local assessors before August 1 will lose the tax benefits of farmland assessment for the 1987 tax year,” the Agriculture Secretary warns. He urges people who qualify for the program to apply now, not wait for July 31 or August 1. “This state program is absolutely critical to the survival of agriculture in the Garden State,” he said. Farmers in New Jersey, even with the lower assessment, still pay the second highest real property taxes in the nation. The farmland assessment law became effective in 1965. It allows land in agricultural and hor ticultural production to be taxed on their ability to produce rather than on market value. The key word is land. It is the land that is farm assessed. The farmhouse, lawn and garden areas, bams and sheds, are not assessed at reduced value, but Delegate Meeting Scheduled STRONGSVILLE, Ohio - the 1986 mid-year delegate meeting of Milk Marketing Inc. is July 9, at The Fawcett Center for Tomorrow, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.

TO QUALIFY In order to qualify for farmland assessment, the land must en compass at least five acres, and this land must have been actively devoted to agriculture for two consecutive years immediately prior to the request. The five acre min urn urn does not include the land occupied by the home and its immediate surroimdings (lawns, flower and vegetable gardens for home use). The land must produce at least $5OO in gross sales of agricultural, horticultural, or forestry crops for the first five acres. For land over five acres, sales per acre must average at least $5 per acre for all cropland, or 50 cents per acre for all woodland or wetland. There is now an “unattached woodland” category. It is land that is devoted 100% to forestry practices. Owners who have been on the farmland assessment program in 1986 will receive the 1987 forms directly from the tax assessor. New applicants, and this is im portant, must initiate the request for forms from the local tax assessor. They won’t come automatically.
