should be fighting for. Forget the
Bottle Bill, it is high property tax
es that are eating us alive.
Everyone seems to have the
idea that fanners just sit on the
front porch and watch for a deve
loper to come along.
If we are going to look at farms
as future development, then every
property should be taxed as the
possible location of a super high-

way, shopping center, high rise
apartments or even a gas
station.
Why should a farmer have to
mortgage his farm to the County
to have his farm assessed as a
farm? This is what Act 319
amounts to. No other property is
assessed as to what may happen
20-30 years from Now.
If you sign up for Act 319 it is
forever.
Who knows what unforseen
event might make it necessary to
sell. Should this happen, the Fed
eral Government will take 28-per
cent. the State will take about
3-percent, realtors and lawyers
15-20-percent, then you will have
Act 319 which will take- selling
price x millage x 7 years plus
6-percent interest
The only pension a farmer has
is what he can get for his farm. If
he is forced to join Act 319 in
order to afford to stay on his farm,
then he is really being held hos
tage, and will have to pay the ran
som to the county if he should
have to sell.
We don’t have to look to
Washington to see lack of leader
ship, it is right here in Harrisburg
and in our Farm Organizations.
