Ohio Republican lawmakers in rural districts said the law was a win for farmers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI talked to the farmers in the Second District and, and other places in Ohio, actually, that they\u2019re thrilled with all the things that happened,\u201d said Rep. Dave Taylor, R-Ohio. \u201cReference prices got addressed finally. There\u2019s a ton of great expensing, deductions that they can do, 100% on a new production building, 100% on equipment, 100% on R&D. So that\u2019s going to spur growth. The death tax [exemption] being made doubled and made permanent is going to make passing these family farms down a lot easier.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the things that\u2019s crowded out prices for land\u2026 is solar panels that we\u2019re paying massive subsidies. And President Trump put a cap on that so those subsidies won\u2019t be paid out if the installation is going to go over fertile farm ground,\u201d said Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio. \u201cThat\u2019s bidding up the price to, to just grow corn and soybeans here in Ohio, for example.\u201d<\/p>\n
