The Farm Acres Bill
Tax credit for certified farm acres moves in Minnesota
Property tax credit established for certain acres certified under the Minnesota agricultural water quality certification program, and money appropriated.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, Minnesota farmers with water‑quality certified acres would pay less property tax, while other taxpayers would cover the shortfall.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill could help farmers who protect water, but it also means the state will collect less tax, so everyday people may see higher taxes or fewer services.
