Nebraska farmers say whoever is the state’s next governor needs to understand the challenges producers face.
Brady Revels is an account manager for dairy operations with Cargill and says the six gubernatorial candidates who participated in NEFB’s ag issues forum have a plan to address his top concern: property taxes.
He tells Brownfield it prevents the dairy industry from growing. “I have a number of customers that have moved here from California and while their overall tax burden in California was higher, on a percentage basis, they’re paying double or triple the same percent of what they were in California and if we’re going to be competitive on a global market, we have to remove some of those barriers for our producers.”
But, farmer Kevin Peterson from Osceola says the candidates didn’t address immigration labor reforms.
