Michigan Subsidizes Forest Farmers Under New Law
Lansing officials outlined the first U S effort to subsidize timber farmers through tax reductions and state cash payments. The 1925 act sets 5 cents per acre paid by the state plus 5 cents for soft wood and 19 cents for second growth hard wood, with stumpage tax later. The law aims to enable private reforestation on small holdings despite strict cutting limits. Officials estimate over 250 000 acres listed under the act this year as Michigan tackles vast timber wastes in the north.
