Leading farm groups are pleased some of their priorities have been addressed in the 2017 Minnesota Legislative Session.
Minnesota Farm Bureau’s Cole Rupprecht says legislators and the Dayton administration worked until three o’clock Friday morning to finalize a special session that began Monday.
“There are several provisions within many of those bills that we are supportive of. First off, in the tax bill, Minnesota Farm Bureau is very happy and supportive of the 40 percent credit on ag property taxes that relates to school bond debt levies.”
The Minnesota Farmers Union (MFU) also supported the 40 percent ag land credit included in the tax bill, one of several pieces of legislation still unsigned by the Governor.
