S605 - North Carolina Farm Act of 2021. (SL 2021-78)

Overview: Section 6 of S.L. 2021-78 requires a timber buyer or operator to provide a wood load ticket to a timber grower or seller. At a minimum, the wood load ticket is required to contain the name of the timber grower or seller, the county from which the wood product was severed, the amount of wood product severed, and the date the wood product was delivered to the timber buyer or operator. This does not apply to sales of firewood, a landowner harvesting and processing the landowner's own timber, or bulk or lump-sum sales for an agreed total price for all timber purchased and sold in one transaction. A violation of this section is a Class 2 misdemeanor.

This section became effective December 1, 2021, and applies to offenses committed on or after that date.
