Cow tax proposal would threaten agriculture viability
âWith the economy in bad shape and the possibility of a deep recession looming, the Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to levy new taxesâon cows and pigs,â American Farm Bureau Federation Director of Regulatory Relations Rick Krause told Wyoming Farm Bureau members at their annual meeting. Krause spoke in Sheridan on Nov. 7.
âThis is no laughing matter,â Krause said. âThe cow tax and the pig tax are parts of a larger scheme by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.â
âUnder the proposal, if a state charged the âpresumptive minimum rateâ from the EPA, the cow tax would be $175 per dairy cow, $87.50 per head for beef cattle and a little more than $20 per pig,â Krause explained.
