Richard H. Snow", "committee": "Environment and Agriculture", "vote_yeas": 16, "vote_nays": 1, "text": "This bill is the second and third leg of the milking stool that will help keep New Hampshire's dairy farms viable and also help preserve the open spaces they protect. It is the second stage of a multi-part program designed to ensure that New Hampshire agriculture stays viable and strong. This legislation accomplishes two significant, long term objectives. The first objective is to provide our dairy farmers with a subsidy when national milk prices, which are set by a federal milk pricing order, fall below a target price equivalent to the cost of producing the milk. Milk pricing has been regulated by the federal government since 1937. It is one of our country's most highly regulated commodities. Our subsidy will allow our dairy farmers to remain competitive with other milk-producing regions that have lower costs. The bill establishes an independent board to regularly monitor and adjust the target price level and to consider any other cost or price factors that might affect the price of fluid milk. The bill is also intended to help insulate our dairy farms from predatory pricing and New Hampshire from a total reliance on imports from the western states, where there is a continued concentration and industrialization of the nation's dairy supply. (Depending on imported food and feed from developing countries that are not subject to the same safety and quality standards we observe also raises concerns.) Recent headlines about compromised food quality, feed supply and safety have raised consumer awareness of the value of a healthy, local food production and supply system. We have an opportunity now to help prevent further losses of our capacity to produce fresh, local milk. (Currently about 134 NH dairy farms produce over 34 million gallons of fresh milk annually, enough to supply over twenty-five gallons for every man, woman and child in New Hampshire.) The second objective is to provide a stable source of funding for the purchase of Agricultural Land Development Rights, a program established by this legislature in 1985, by establishing a two and one half cent fee (only 62.5 cents per person per annum) on every gallon of milk sold at the local retail level. Keeping agricultural land open provides significant, tangential benefits to our state. New Hampshire's dairy industry is responsible for over 85,000 acres of open space supporting hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and other recreational activities, fundamental to the state's revenue stream. Purchasing the development rights to agricultural land helps preserve them. A dedicated fund was established in 1985 to do that, but no regular, reliable source of money has been available for the fund for a number of years. This bill will provide that funding source. The committee has worked diligently with the sponsors of the bill, members of the farm business community, conservation advocates, and those citizens of NH who want to preserve the New Hampshire way of life, in order to come up with legislation that will satisfy the diverse requirements of an interstate milk production system that is regulated at the federal level and subject to interstate commerce. The majority of our committee respectfully request that you support this joint effort."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep.

If a person does not report on how much he or she sells in three months and enclose the appropriate tax, a 10% penalty will be added. Where does this end?

Members of the minority felt this would unfairly create the expectation in people's minds that money would be available. Leaving the fund open would create the opportunity in the future to provide a direct subsidy to a small group of businesses. Members felt it is inappropriate for the state to make direct financial payments in support of businesses, especially when revenues are projected to fall far short of budgeted expenditures. Economic conditions for the dairy industry are currently improving, so there is no immediate need for assistance. In the meantime, there are other possibilities that could be considered to assist the farmers.
