Then you should know that Current Use II only provides a minimal augmentation to the tax advantage... and that Current Use does not require 10 acres. It can be any size parcel that provides $2500 annually in agricultural or horticultural revenue.
Not to mention all of this is likely to change very quickly in the next few years. Much of it being unmanaged forest.

The tax advantage is great, not minimal, especially if non-agricultural. Speaking personally, the tax advantage for the 32 acres out of 34 (two for house and driveway) is very significant. How much farmland is under 10 acres?

Can you provide the statute for Current use II?
Can you provide when the statute RSA 79-A was changed.

Also, view tax ...
"New Hampshire does not have a special statewide tax for properties with a scenic view. However, local tax officials may judge that a property with a scenic view is worth more money, which results in a bigger property tax bill."
"Since a home’s location impacts how much it is worth to homebuyers, a scenic view may increase the home’s value in the eyes of the tax official. If a property with a scenic view gets a higher appraisal, the property owner will have a higher tax bill. However, there is no special tax specifically for properties with scenic views. All property owners pay the same statewide property tax rate."
