according to the usda the average value per acre of cropland in south dakota is $1,800. this means the average value of a farm in my state nearly $2.5 billion. if you calfs a death tax lhave t exempts $1 million imagine what that will do to south dakota. we are seeing values rise across america's farmland from nebraska to montana. let's be clear. this bill would subject many more families to a punitive tax, the death tax when a loved one passes away. it will make it much more difficult to pass family farms and businesses from one generation to the next. most family farms are land rich and cash poor. land values and that sort of thing. what you don't want to see happen is to see a family farm passed on to the next generation have to be liquidated to pay the irs because of a punitive death tax which is essentially what this policy as proposed by the democrats' plan would do. usda estimates 84% of farm assets are comprised of farm real-estate. that is where most farm and ranch families have their assets and family farmers don't have extra cash on hand to pay the death tax.
