State funding to our Natural Resources Agencies is vital to the wellbeing of South Carolina’s Economy, Safety, and Quality of Life. We would request the General Assembly place a priority on restoring previous year’s budget cuts to our Agribusiness and Natural Resource agencies. These agencies include the Department of Agriculture, Clemson University PSA, Forestry Commission, Department of Health and Environmental Control, and Department of Natural Resources.
We request the General Assembly approve legislation that will address the problematic and threatening South Carolina Supreme Court decision granting any one person a right of action on activities effecting the environment and the elimination of one acre or less exemption on activities in isolated wetlands.
We oppose the elimination of Sales Tax exemptions vital to the wellbeing of South Carolina Agribusiness Economy and the elimination of Act 208. We will continue to work with the Department of Revenue and the General Assembly to ensure only bona fide farmers are granted these tax exemptions and classifications.
We request that the General Assembly amend the state’s requirements on commercial motor carriers so that these laws are not overly burdensome on South Carolina farmers as they transport South Carolina agriculture commodities and/or products throughout the state.
