Earlier this week, the Associated Press reported that, “Anti-hunger advocates in New York are cheering the passage of a new tax credit for farmers who donate fruits and vegetables to foodbanks.
“The initiative was included in a $153 billion state budget that won final legislative approval on Sunday.
“Farmers already donate millions of pounds of food every year, but say a tax credit for donations would reduce the costs of harvesting and transporting surplus crops that would otherwise go to waste.”
The AP article added that, “The credit is limited to $5,000 per year.”
