We as in the govt. A great deal of what the govt needs to do is open doors and get out of the way. How about we just stop taxing period? Taxing return on investment is the dumbest policy there is.
The best way to get the govt out of ag is to get out of the way of added-value ag and let the ag sector get beyond ethanol and biodiesel. Not only will you bring jobs and investment, you’ll allow the farmer to diversify and prevent the boom-bust cycle we’ve seen in ag since we went to the commodity farm policy in the Depression.
Ag is suffering from an idiotic tax code. That is why a neutral code is needed. One that neither hurts nor helps.
