In 1945 farm property taxes were 525 million, below 1929’s peak of 640 million, as income and poll taxes rose.

Farmers See Tax Changes Please Caution for Local Increases

Isaacs notes that federal and state tax shares show farmers pay income and sales taxes while gas line and auto taxes rise. He argues farm taxes vary with income and are less likely to force farm loss, though purchasing power falls. He urges readiness for potential local tax increases as communities fund schools and roads.
