Farm Bureau challenges 2020 growth report in Maryland
Carroll County Farm Bureau members pressed the Governor's Commission on Growth Report at the annual legislative meeting. Maryland Farm Bureau lobbyist Jack Miller urged delaying action on the 2020 plan, citing landowner equity, broad reach, and unanswered questions. The group urged a one year pause for statewide review and debate while preserving agricultural preservation programs and county-led zoning autonomy.

USDA reports suggest 1991 could be a solid year for farmers with net cash income projected between 55 and 60 billion dollars, down from a 59 billion record in 1990. The new farm law grants planting flexibility but lowers deficiency payments while government surveys track 1990 costs and returns across 24 000 farms.
