Christmas Tree Tax?

Did you know there is a tax on Christmas Trees starting this year?  Apparently it is part of the Farm Bill.  It went into effect in April 2014.  A bit of subsidy spending to prop up declining sales of fresh cut Christmas Trees. . .

That is a 6% decline from 1965 to 2008.

Aha!  That faint aroma, something has gone rotten in the state of Denmark perhaps?
