59: Deducting Excess/Residual Fertilizer
You have most likely heard people promoting the idea of deducting excess/residual fertilizer when buying farm ground. So, what does it mean? Is there a deduction available? If so, what documentation do you need? We invited Kristine Tidgren, Director for the Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation, to discuss and help us understand this popular topic.

58: ARC/PLC Decisions and Economic Assistance Payments
The 2018 Farm Bill was extended in December of 2024. With the deadline to sign up for ARC/PLC approaching in April, we sat down with Robin Reid to discuss the programs and what to consider when making program decisions. Also included in the bill were ad hoc payments, currently being referred to as Economic Assistance Payments, for farmers. We discussed some details related to these payments and how they are calculated.
