    Our state is still offering the Organic Foods Production tax credit for tax year 2020. For a reminder, this bill was passed in the legislature 5 years ago, and implemented 3 years ago. Very few farmers are aware of its existence. Certified Organic farmers are eligible for up to $50,000 in a non- refundable tax credit. Tax years 2020 and 2021 are the last two years of the credit.
    Please remember that you must send the copies of your farm expenses, that are marked paid, by March 31, to:
