Farmland tax bill eyed to stabilize farm taxes locally
Orange County Agricultural Extension Service head Horace Smith and Sleepy Hollow Growers chief Anthony LaScala backed a new law by Assemblyman Gilman to subsidize farm used land within 500 acre districts and cut local tax losses.

Critics warned progress would be slow and urged broader aid such as low-interest farm loans and migrant housing support.
