Widow's Lament Over Inheritance Tax And Farm Loss
A widow recalls selling the family home and barn while grieving her husband and fading family ties. She laments inheritance taxes deemed unjust, noting farmers and small businesses lose assets to taxes and inflation. She questions lawmakers and asks how many widows suffer similar fates.
Productivity over land seen as key to feeding world
Washington DC based Agriculture Department research chief Anson Bertrand says future gains in feeding a growing world rely on productivity improvements rather than expanding cropland. He cites plant breeding, stress-tolerant crops, and technologies like photosynthetic enhancement as major avenues. He also notes advances in cattle embryo transfer and sex ratio control could boost beef production and profit.
