The Hill: GOP may be tough on tax extenders

Senate Democrats may push to finish a bill that would revive tax breaks for business, including some in agriculture, but House Republicans may take a strong stand against them, The Hill reported today.

The National Farmers Union and the American Farm Bureau Federation have urged passage of a tax extenders bill.

“NFU will strongly pursue the extension of expiring tax provisions for small business expensing and renewable energy during the upcoming lame-duck session of Congress,” NFU President Roger Johnson said in a news release. “Family farmers and ranchers rely on these provisions that are critical to managing their business.”
