AmericanHort, alongside 38 other national agriculture associations, signed a letter addressed to key members of the House Ways and Means Committee, advocating for the preservation of critical tax provisions that support farmers, producers, and agricultural businesses. The letter highlighted the importance of policies like stepped-up basis, estate tax relief, and Section 179 expensing, which enable agricultural operations to invest, remain competitive, and pass on family-owned farms to future generations. The coalition urged lawmakers to maintain these provisions as part of ongoing tax discussions, stressing their role in ensuring the stability and growth of the U.S. agriculture sector.
