the state of north dakota is covered with small wet areas. on every farm in north dakota there are spots about the size of this horseshoe right here that might be considered a wetland i usda. but 95% of the time they are bone dry. we have a road ditch along the edge of every square mile in north dakota. we have areas that will always flood for a couple of days in the ring time, but after that they are farmed or used in a very normal way. i think that this notion that somehow you as epa would need to be in charge of every little spot, that really is just not common sense. the people of north dakota, especially the farmers, when they hear that this is what is being proposed, they really react to that. they really just sort of feel that it makes no sense what so ever. i hope that we can keep that dialogue going. you have been good enough to come to north dakota couple of times. i hope that you will come again. i will show you some rope ditches. -- road ditches. i will show you some from the map so that you are sure of what we are talking about.

in south dakota more than doubled since 2010. and have gone up seven times since 2000. so, if you take a typical family farm in south dakota that bought a section of land between 600 and 40 acres back in 2000 for 640,000 dollars, roughly the price at that time, and i would note that in south dakota, that would be considered a small farm . today, that same farmland is probably worth between $2.5 million and $4.5 million depending on where it is located here so according to the current law, that family farm is not taxed when it passes from one generation to the next. now come under the administration's proposal, that family farm would be hit with significant -- tax. your proposal, as i understand it exams $100,000 in capital gains, or $200,000 per couple. and it raises the gains to 28%. so in that example, the south dakota family would suddenly find themselves facing a tax bill of $1 million or more. so, most farms of the size would not have liquid assets to deal with that large of a tax bill. the only way they would be able to pay
