The Trump and Biden campaigns are winding the final turn, and a current and former U.S. Senator both say agriculture hangs in the balance.
Former North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp says if elected, Vice-President Biden would work to revitalize Rural America and the ag economy. She says Biden’s tax plan, which has been a concern for some farmers, would help them, not hurt them.
“What Joe Biden is trying to do as he looks at estate changes is to not affect the family farmer, but take a look at trust fund kids who inherit wealth from their parents and pay a lower tax rate.”
When it comes to renewable fuels, she says Biden will choose farmers over the oil refiners and their shareholders.
