ALBANY, N.Y. New York
Farm Bureau has been lobbying
hard to win an agricultural exemp
tion to the petroleum business tax
(PBT) on the on-farm use of diesel
fuel, residual fuels, and gasoline.
According to NYFB President
Charles Wille, “The exemption on
the diesel and residual fuels,
which was Governor Cnomo’s ini
tiative, has passed the Senate.
However, the refund on gasoline
is another story. Farmer letters
could play a critical role in secur
ing the exemption on all three
fuels.”
With the legislature only weeks
away from adjournment and the
state budget still unsettled, Farm
Bureau is urging every farmer to
drop a note to Assembly Speaker
Sheldon Silver and New York
Governor Mario Cuomo. Farmer
letters are critical if this refund is
to become reality. Send letters as
soon as possible to Honorable
Sheldon Silver, Speaker, NYS
Assembly, Albany, NY 12248 and
Honorable Mario M. Cuomo,

PBT Issue
State Capitol, Albany, NY 12224.
Wille labeled the refund on
gasoline a bread and butter issue
for family fanners. “Small family
farmers often have older equip
ment that uses gasoline instead of
diesel. A refund from the PBT for
the on-farm use of gasoline would
give smaller New York farm oper
ations a much needed boost in net
income.”
Farmers in every Northeast
state, except New York and Con
necticut, ait free of fuel taxes on
the on-farm use of petroleum pro
ducts. Wille said that New York
lawmakers should grant this
refund, if they expect New York
farmers to stay competitive with
their neighbors and remain a
viable part of local economies
across the state.
New York fanners pay the fol
lowing rates for the PBT on the
on-farm use of petroleum products
gasoline, $0.1484 per gallon;
diesel fuel, $0.0805 per gallon;
commercial heating oil, $0.1403
per gallon; and heavy oils,
$0.1242 per gallon.
