Well, the first meeting of the 2012-2013 year is in the books. We
had a light turnout for the first meeting which means quite a few of you
missed a very good handout outlining what you do and do not have to pay
sales tax on in the Commonwealth. There followed a lively discussion
about other taxes such as excise tax on farm equipment and others. Your
Blogger has some handouts for those of you who missed the meeting and
will bring them to the next one. It you check the date of the next
meeting, you will note that it is scheduled for election day and the
sense of those at the meeting was that we change it. Watch here for an
update.
On Thursday the 27th of September, Andrea and
I were in New York City to participate in the Campaign for Wool event
that was originated by HRH Prince Charles a couple of years ago. This
year marked the outreach of that program to cities around the world and
the 27th was NYC's day to shine. The event was held in the historic Bryant Park in the middle of Manhattan. The entire park was taken over for the event and America's sheep producers were represented by 30 head of sheep fenced inside a four foot high transparent fence. From a personal perspective, this was the best promotion of wool from sheep to end product that I have ever been involved with.
