The meeting provided committee members an opportunity to hear from agriculture producers and small businesses about the real negative impact the Biden Administration's proposal to repeal stepped-up basis would have on the next generation of farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers. Don Batie, a Third District farmer from Dawson County, spoke to the toll repealing stepped-up basis would have on passing his farm, which has been in his family since an initial Homestead Act claim was made in the 1870s, to the next generation.

"Stepped-up basis ensures family-owned farms, ranches, and small businesses carry on to the next generation, creating jobs and economic opportunity everywhere, particularly in rural America," said Smith. "I appreciate Don taking time today to share his story with our committee, illustrating the importance of this part of the tax code to families across our state who have farmed and ranched for generations." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |
