Western Growers, along with more than 40 agricultural organizations have come together to urge swift Senate action on a new tax package that could bring meaningful relief to farmers, ranchers and rural businesses across the country.

In a letter sent to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Majority Whip John Barrasso and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo, these groups expressed strong support for provisions in the proposed legislation that would ease estate tax burdens, make key deductions permanent and incentivize crucial investments in farm equipment and technology.

The letter highlights how the proposed measures would help family farms thrive and remain competitive. Stressing the urgency of these reforms to strengthen the agricultural supply chain and sustain rural economies, the coalition called on the Senate to approve the package without delay.
