Tax policy continues to be top of mind for farmers as reconciliation talks continue in Congress.
Luke Crumley is the director of public policy and nutrient management with the Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association (OCWGA).
“Earlier this year we were hearing some concerning proposals come out of Washington,” he says. “Overnight, protecting stepped-up basis became the leading issue for our grower leaders and the staff at Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association because eliminating stepped-up basis puts the very existence of family farms on the chopping block here in Ohio.”
He tells Brownfield growers have been contacting lawmakers about the importance of tax policy on their farms.
