A unique coalition of farm groups is urging congressional leadership to extend tax provisions that impact Rural America. That request includes the full expensing of new equipment, which drops to an 80 percent deduction this year and is phased out by 2026. The expensing for research and development investments expired two years ago and the coalition wants it reinstated. A mix of nontraditional groups signed off on this letter, including the American Horse Council, Women Involved in Farm Economics, Latino Farmers and Ranchers International and the U.S. Cattlemen’s Association.
