The first Build Back Better text released by the House had proposed reducing the lifetime exclusion from the current $12.060 million to $5.030 million starting this year. However, the text also proposed increasing the current Section 2032A exclusion from $1.23 million to $11.70 million indexed to inflation. Section 2032A allows farmers and ranchers to reduce their farmland value from current highest and best use fair market value to the cash rent value.

I deeply appreciate all the comments on my last post about factory farmed confinement dairy cows being fitted with VR goggles playing a loop of sunny green pastures to make them happy and therefore more productive. Several of you were already ahead of me by pointing out that a short test like this showing a massive increase in milk production (from 5 gallons a day to 7) does not a long-term trend indicate.

One of the things that I have a love/hate relationship with on the farm is time. Individual days and weeks can sometimes seem so long (especially when that harvest list runs onto three pages!), but since there’s so much repetition of patterns and tasks from year to year and day to day, it becomes hard to hold onto time beyond the general feel of seasonality.

With better commodity prices, many farmers will be building new shops, barns, and other farm buildings. We got the following question from a reader regarding how can they deduct the cost of these farm buildings: I understand that a building would go on a depreciation schedule but have read on the internet (dangerous I know) about deducting parts of it off as repairs and maintenance to get a more immediate benefit.

Just when you thought factory farming couldn't become more egregious, imagine the animals wearing Virtual Reality (VR) goggles to make them think their life is good when it's not. What a twisted web of ethics this raises. Is it better for the animals to know they are being mistreated, or to trick them into thinking they aren't via VR? In Moscow, Russia, veterinarians have been testing VR goggles on factory farmed confined dairy cows and seeing significant increases in milk yield.
