Does your land qualify for land use taxation?

Agriculture plays a vital role in Rockingham County’s economy, contributing nearly 20% of Virginia’s total agricultural sales. The Land Use Taxation Program helps preserve agricultural and forestal land by offering tax incentives to qualifying landowners.

Attn: This morning (May 27) we have an "urgent" request from Virginia Cooperative Extension.

"request your assistance with asking frost/freeze impacted growers (all commodities) to report their estimated losses to their local FSA office as soon as possible for entering into FSA's system. Preferably today. This is an urgent request with potential ramifications for the growers. Note that if your growers have already reported their losses to FSA they do not need to do so again. Thank you for your time and assistance with this important matter."

Please pass along to anyone impacted by the late April freeze event.
