it's not fair that "so many of us live out + enjoy the lake area while doing nothing to use our farm property in an agricultural manner."

since i do not use my acreage to graze cows, i should pay an extra $4,800 per year.
Sucks, they are looking for revenue. If they do it , get a dam calf every year and feed it, 6 or so months to fatten for the freezer. Know bunch of familys in this area that have done it for years. For two reasons, 1. Tax reasons , cow=farm=less tax. 2. Best dam beef that you can eat if done right and hung long enough,18-25 days or more. And you know what is in the meat.

It may turn out cheaper, than the tax increase. And also to thumb your nose saying fuckum to the money grabbers.
