WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD NEWS) — Cattle producers are highlighting the long-term benefits of the “Working Families Tax Cuts,” pointing to their role in supporting family-owned operations and the next generation of agriculture.
NCBA played a key role in advancing this legislation, advocating for its passage and building on years of effort to expand the estate tax exemption, also known as the Death Tax, to help preserve family-owned cattle operations.
Pennsylvania Rancher Michael Cliver joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report after speaking at the White House “Celebration of Agriculture,” where he recapped his experience traveling to Washington, shared what the opportunity meant to him, and thanked the administration for its efforts to support cattle producers.
In his interview with RFD NEWS, Cliver reflected on sharing his message alongside the president and discussed his operation back home in Pennsylvania. He also outlined the benefits he sees from the Working Families Tax Cuts, particularly in supporting his operation and the broader cattle industry.
Finally, Cliver emphasized the importance of these provisions in preserving family-owned cattle operations and ensuring producers’ long-term viability.
With record grain harvests and rising global ethanol demand, leaders across the ag and energy sectors are pushing for year-round E15 sales to mitigate the strain on grain trade.
