“Farmers are paying thousands of dollars more every day for things like seed, feed, and shipping. A huge part of those rising costs is taxes.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is about where I come from and what I live. The day-to-day experience of farmers is that every bill is more, and it is more by thousands of dollars, whether it is for the trucker delivering fertilizer, the fertilizer itself, the seed or the feed. It is all of it. Everything is more, and it is thousands of dollars per day, per month and per year. I cannot overestimate how much money gets consumed in taxes.”
