    Extractions: Internet Address: peterga@jmu.edu The century-long decline in the number of farmers in the United States has reached the point where the number of persons living on farms comprises less than 10% of the nation's rural population (Hart, 1995). In urban counties and counties adjacent to urban areas, the farm population is an even smaller proportion of the rural population due to the increased movement of non-farm residents from the city into the countryside. As a result, there is growing concern about the future of farming at the rural-urban interface. Some of the problems at the rural-urban interface may be associated with a general disconnect among consumers, food production, and farmers. Many non-farmers moving to the rural-urban interface do not understand contemporary agricultural practices, and, for a variety of reasons, these non-farm consumers are increasingly sensitive to issues related to agricultural industrialization, environmental quality, and food safety and quality (Welsh, 1996). Concerns about agricultural odors, dust, and chemicals at the interface may, in part, be exacerbated by both limited knowledge and heightened safety and quality concerns. As a result, consumer confidence in local farmers as well as the food system in general may contribute to conflict at the rural-urban interface.

    Extractions: November 2003 Taxation - Alternative Minimum Tax Implemented in 1986, Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) was introduced to address concerns that some individuals and trusts with high gross incomes paid little or no income tax. It usually arises in agriculture tax situations when farm property such as land is sold and the combination of regular taxable income and 60% of the non-taxable capital gains exceeds $40,000. This amount is subject to a flat tax currently set at 16%. Retiring farmers selling farm property and incurring significant capital gains are most likely to be affected. Tax legislation continues to change and the information contained in this Information Update is based on the prevailing tax legislation information at the date of publication. If you have a tax situation that might trigger the Alternative Minimum Tax, it is strongly recommended that professional taxation and legal advice be obtained to manage the potential taxation liability. This Information Update will illustrate how AMT can affect the estate plans of farmers.

Media ... Site Map Shopping Cart Our Bookstore Give feedback on our new look! Links Home Summer 2004 Also available in PDF format by John Feffer STATE UNDERSECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY, AND FOOD, REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA Slovenia might seem like the merest thorn in the side of agribusiness. It is a small, mountainous country on the western edge of the Balkans, half-covered in forest and without much arable land. Only 6 percent of the population of 2 million is involved in agriculture. The average farm is only 5.5 hectares, a far cry from the U.S. average of approximately 176 hectares or even the European Union (EU) average of 18 hectares. But Slovenia, which became a member of the EU in May 2004, may have an outsized impact on European agriculture. Last year, Slovenian organic farmers and their counterparts in four neighboring provinces of Austria (Carinthia, Styria) and Italy (FriuliVenezia-Giulia, Veneto) declared what they hope will become a showcase for organic farming: the world's first organic bioregion.Government ministers from the areas involved have endorsed the plan. The members of this new "Alpe-Adria" bioregion have declared themselves free from all genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the initiative's planners are pushing organic farming as the future of agriculture. Coordinating marketing programs and attracting more eco-tourists to organic farms are also part of the vision.
