7. The assessor in valuing land which qualifies as land actively devoted to agricultural or horticultural use under the tests prescribed by P.L.1964, c.48 and the guidelines describing generally accepted agricultural and horticultural practices developed and adopted pursuant to subsection a. of section 1 of P.L.2013, c.43 (C.54:4-23.3d), and as to which the owner thereof has made timely application for valuation, assessment and taxation hereunder for the tax year in issue, shall consider only those indicia of value which such land has for agricultural or horticultural use.
