Governor Plans Rebate On Feed Tax To Farmers
Oklahoma farmers and cattlemen would receive refunds up to 730 000 annually if the legislature backs Gov. Raymond Garys plan to remove the 2 percent sales tax on farm animal feeds. Gary says funds come from the state tax commissions share of previous sales tax collections. He notes 750 000 of last years 1 402 000 set aside for collecting the tax was unneeded and that refunds would not affect welfare programs. He cites pensions opposition and farm groups urging relief and says the plan could spur large feed lots in Oklahoma City and Tulsa to boost the stocker cattle market.
