   § 2-23.1-1  Findings. –

The general assembly finds and declares:

dependent on the land;

taxation can have significant impacts on the viability of agricultural

operations;



   (d) That the understanding of such impacts is often not

widespread or readily included in decision making; and



   (e) That farmers, who have an appreciation of such impacts,

may not know in a timely manner that actions are being considered at the local

level that could have a direct and significant impact on agricultural

operations.
