You are correct. Some towns do not have a seperate tax base land zoned for agricultural use. Even the state don't see a difference. the family's 350 acre sheep farm with a view of Winnipesaukee, Ossipee and White Mountains was taxed into nonexistent. Because developers will pay top dollars for the land! The farmer has to pay taxes on the current land value.
The biggest reason why we are losing our agricultural base today is TAXES!
