The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says taxes will be their top issue when Congress returns from its August recess. Ethan Lane, vice president of government affairs says they’ll be busy lobbying members of Congress to ensure there are no significant changes to tax policy. “Land values in ag country aren’t $3,000 an acre anymore and haven’t been for a while,” he says.
He tells Brownfield NCBA wants protections in place to allow producers to pass their farms to the next generation.
