County Farm Bureau Policy Highlights Tax and Grain Goals
The Marion County Farm Bureau adopted policy recommendations at its annual meeting advocating a farmer owned national grain reserve, changes to land valuation and tax exemptions, user fees for county recreational areas with state reimbursements, and stronger federal oversight of grain grading. It supports land use planning with public hearings, opposes broad railroad mergers, backs replacement of Lock and Dam 26, opposes OSHA fines on first inspections, and seeks road funding via fuel taxes, plus a Rural Crime Unit and rail rights maintenance.
