The Nebraska Farm Bureau says reforming the state’s tax code could strengthen the ag economy by having farmers and ranchers pay less in taxes.
Vice President of Governmental Relations Bruce Reickers says they’re lobbying to broaden the sales tax base to represent the current economy. “We content that property tax is regressive because regardless of your ability to pay, you pay property taxes and that’s not just on ag land that’s for residential and commercial properties as well,” Reickers says.
