2011-S5160 - Sponsor Memo
BILL NUMBER:S5160
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to expanding the
definition of crops, livestock and livestock products to include
silvopasturing products
PURPOSE:
To clarify that silvopasturing acreage in forested land qualifies as
eligible lands for agriculture assessment.
SUMMARY:
Section 301(2) of Agriculture and Markets Law is amended to include
silvopastured products to the definition of "Crops, livestock and
livestock products",
JUSTIFICATION:
Silvopasturing is the scientifically-based, ecologically-sound practice
of livestock grazing in wooded areas which can yield numerous benefits
for farm operations. In silvopasturing, timber and pasture are managed
as a single integrated system. Timber, forage and livestock are managed
intensively to simultaneously produce timber products, a high quality
forage resource and efficient livestock production. In doing so,
silvopasturing provides a sustainable system that offers diversified
marketing opportunities for producers.
