AFBF View on House Republican Tax Reform Blueprint

Zippy Duvall, American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) president, issued a statement on the House Republican tax-reform blueprint: “Farmers and ranchers need a tax code that recognizes the unique financial challenges we face. Running a farm or ranch business is challenging under the best of circumstances as we meet with whatever the markets and Mother Nature send our way — but the tax code shouldn’t be as unpredictable as the weather.

“Speaker Ryan, Chairman Brady and House Republicans are to be commended for developing a blueprint for rewriting of our nation’s cumbersome, convoluted and complex tax code. Their plan is a strong and much-needed start to what will surely be an extensive tax-reform discussion. Farm Bureau is very pleased to see the plan includes several very important features for farmers and ranchers including full expensing, exclusions for capital gains and repeal of the estate tax. We look forward to continuing the conversation about meaningful tax reform that benefits the whole economy.

“Agriculture operates in a world of uncertainty, and we appreciate the focus on simplifying and streamlining the tax code. Still, the plan runs deep and wide with bold proposals that will require careful analysis. The American Farm Bureau Federation will take a serious look at the proposal and thanks House Republicans for this dedicated effort.”

RFD-TV Launches New Real Estate Show, LandLeader

When it comes to recreational properties, the real estate game delivers a completely different set of challenges for buyers. LandLeader takes viewers inside some of the most exclusive properties in North America. From chasing whitetail bucks in Kansas and fly-fishing on the magical waters of Oregon — to touring traditional pine plantations in the South and exploring oceanfront property in California — LandLeader travels the country to showcase properties, stories from landowners and the lives they live. In this new series, viewers get an inside look at unique properties around the country and meet American landowners who share the history of the property and their strong commitment to conservation.

“Land is important to all of us. It’s in our heritage and offers humanity a place to thrive. Within the fences of these properties are the stories and adventures that create lasting memories of the landowner and provide a glimpse of what might be in store for the next owners of these exclusive properties,” said Dax Hayden, national director for LandLeader.
