An act relating to miscellaneous agricultural subjects

Summary

S.323 bars municipalities from enacting bylaws that control farming activities covered by the state’s Required Agricultural Practices Rule, and it creates tax exemptions for qualifying farmers and certain agricultural property sales. It also creates a new “farm kitchen” food‑processing category, lets milk producers request hearings over purchase disputes, and expands the state agency’s ability to contract for the Farm‑to‑School program. Additional provisions repeal an inactive pest‑control compact, adjust pesticide‑applicator exam rules, update seed standards, and let the Vermont Economic Development Authority run the Agricultural Credit Program.
