Sales and use tax exemption provided for farm fencing and equipment.

HF 969 exempts farm fencing and related materials from Minnesota's sales and use tax. It adds fencing used directly in agricultural production (such as for crop growing or livestock containment) to the list of tax-exempt items under Minnesota Statutes § 297A.69, subdivision 4. The exemption applies to fencing materials, supplies, and equipment incorporated into fencing construction or repair for farming operations. It becomes effective for sales after June 30, 2025, directly benefiting Minnesota farmers purchasing qualifying fencing.
