The Tractors & Gear Bill
Tax breaks for farmers buying new tractors and gear
Provides corporation business and gross income tax credits for acquisition of qualified farming equipment.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
This bill would give commercial farmers a tax break to help them pay for new equipment like tractors and farming tools.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This proposed bill is a simple reward for the farming industry. It would help local farms afford the expensive tools they need to grow food and stay in business. But giving tax breaks to one specific group means the state would collect less money overall. That usually leaves regular taxpayers to make up the difference for the lost funds.

The facts
What the bill actually says, no spin.
- Would give farmers a 10 percent tax credit when they buy farming equipment.
- Applies to businesses growing crops, raising animals, or making wine.
- Caps the tax break so it cannot wipe out more than 25 percent of the farmer's total tax bill.
- Automatically approves the tax break if the state takes longer than 90 days to review the paperwork.
