This session will help practitioners recognize unique tax opportunities and pitfalls for taxpayers in the agriculture industry. Our education sessions give tax professionals a forum to discuss current issues affecting their farm and ranch clients. In addition to covering income and deduction items unique to agribusiness producers, we will also cover what we have learned from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
