In todays agribusiness report, senator Chuck Grassley gives his reaction. But right now, heres a look at todays opening farm markets. Good good morning this is the agribusiness report. I i david geiger. The tax and Spending Bill Congress is expected to pass this week have victories and losses for agagculture. The legigiation does not include a repeal of the Environmental Protection agencys waters of the us rule. It does have a full repeal of the mandatory countryof origin meat labeling. But with a voluntary rule. The tax extenders package. Is also intended to be added to the spending bill. To speed up senate action. The American Farm bureau says thats a win for agriculture. Secti 179 is made permanent at the 500,000 dollar vel. That lets farmers deduct costs of equipment from taxes. Bonus depreciation, which covers only new equipment, is extended for 5 years. And tax breaks for biodiesel, cellulosic biodiesel and wind energy are all extended for two more years. This week the usda closed a loople in farmsafety net payments that allowed inactive managers of farms to receive payments. Secretary of agriculture tom vilsack says the farm program is for those who genuinely need it. And the new farm bill allowed him to authorize the closure of the loophole and limit payments. But in the farm bill. Iowa senator Chuck Grassley had a provision that detailed specific removal of this exploit. It was approved by the house and senate. So it was supposed to be safe. But the committee involved removed it. In his Weekly Conference call. I asked him what he thought of the closure. He says the removal of his provision. Was the reason he voted against the 2014 farm bill. They violated the rules, gutted my provisions. We ended up with mealymoused that secretary of agriculture vilsack had to work with, and as i just said, he did thth best he could under what the law allowed him to do. So i thank him. Since 1987. The broad definition of actively engaged allowed for some general partnerships and joint ventures to add managers to farming operations. Which qualified them for more payments.

Where were really at is we have a market that is dialing in an awful lot of negative news we had negative news from argentina, devaluatinin looking to devaluate the peso.

Conditions so far are near normal in argentina but brazil continues to be on the weather wawah. The cattle markrk just cocoinues its assault totohe downside. The cash cattle this week traded one to two dollars this week lower. The beef market continues to push down to two year lows. Were trying to find levels that we actually clear the beef.
