The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association wants a federal estate tax code that promotes the continuation of family-owned businesses and protects America’s farmers and ranchers. Kent Bacus, NCBA executive director, government affairs, says the current relief is set to expire in 2025. “When we have increasing land prices and we’ve got all of these other things that are pushing up values of those assets that we have, we have to be really careful that we have a tax code that doesn’t hurt a lot of our producers,” he says.
