On Tax Day, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins went in front of the microphones to tout the Working Families Tax Cuts Act. Rollins said this provision is the largest investment in Rural America in history. “There are so many wins for Rural America in the Working Families Tax Cut Act that it would take me a really long time to go through them all,” said Rollins. “Number one, it averted the death tax exemption sunset by exempting two million family farms in America from the death tax.” Rollins also highlighted the ability for farmers to defer capital gains taxes over four years and the increase in crop reference prices.
