The I-29 Moo University 2022 Dairy Webinar Series continues Oct. 13 from noon to 1 p.m. with a focus on how the Inflation Reduction Act impacts farmers.
"The Inflation Reduction Act is a sprawling 'reconciliation' bill, coming in at 730 pages," said Fred Hall, dairy specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, in northwest Iowa. "Within that text are a number of provisions that will directly impact the agribusiness industry including revised energy tax credits, change to the relief program for at-risk farmers, among others."
The featured speaker is Mike Zahrt, leader of Foster Swift Law Group agribusiness sub-practice group. He has reviewed the Inflation Reduction Act and has identified areas that producers need to be aware of.
Zahrt is a business and estate planning lawyer in the Grand Rapids office of Foster Swift Law Office in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Zahrt works on a variety of agricultural and cooperative law matters. This includes assisting with cooperative formation and governance, compliance with the Capper-Volstead Act, contract drafting and review, entity selection and governance for farm operations and detailed analysis of state and federal tax issues.
