Farm Bureau Pushes State Law On Sales Tax Here
Oklahoma farm leaders pressed two state legislators at a Saturday Farm Bureau meeting to drop the two percent sales tax on farm materials like feed seed fertilizer and equipment. Rep J W Huff opposed removal citing possible cuts to old age pensions while Sen Glen Collins did not attend and the group urged lawmakers to view tax as a cost of production. Farmers and business members argued tax increases the cost of living and hurts farming competitiveness with neighboring states.
