Vermont S0118 proposes economic development for farms, including manure application exemptions, stormwater permit changes, and tax exemptions.

Vermont S0118 amends agricultural practices to allow manure application exemptions for liquid manure injection and seasonal applications. It exempts farms complying with required agricultural practices from the three-acre stormwater permit. The bill also exempts certain transfers of farm property from the property transfer tax and certain net farm income from the Vermont income tax. Additionally, it provides farms with additional protection from nuisance or trespass claims and exempts farm structures from municipal regulation.
