Farmer Vern banks on trees

Well, listen to a story about a man named Vern ... as in Vernon Hill, founder and ousted chief of Commerce Bancorp (NYSE: TD). The Courier-Post reported today that Hill has gotten part of his large residential property in South Jersey declared farmland and has claimed roughly $60,000 in tax credits (his property tax bill was $270,331). What does he harvest? Roughly $1,000 per year in firewood. We'll give him a call.
