Estate taxes are a crushing burden on Family Farms by demanding that a huge tax be paid on land after the death of the owner. Although the land is valuable, most farmers have little cash and are forced to take out huge mortgages in order to pay these taxes. These mortgages take decades to repay, resulting in the farmer having to practically buy his own land back from the government. We ask that farm land and multi-use areas directly attached to these lands be made tax exempt from any and all estate taxes in order to remedy this unjust situation.
