Ricketts Highlights This Year’s Tax Benefits for Farmers and Ranchers

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, during his weekly press call with Nebraska media, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) discussed this year’s tax benefits for Nebraska farmers and ranchers.

"Agriculture is the heart and soul of what we do in Nebraska,” said Ricketts.  "Family farms and ranches are the backbone of our communities.  But times in farm country are tough.  High input costs and low commodity prices are keeping our farmers up at night.  That’s why I’m fighting to keep more money in the pockets of Nebraska farmers and ranchers.”
