National Farmers Organization Loses Tax Exempt Status
The National Farmers Organization, a major U S farm group, lost its tax exempt status per IRS ruling issued May 2 after a decade of discussions. NFO President Oren Lee Staley said the group will appeal, claiming it does collective bargaining for members and that the ruling targets a marketing role.
