As businesses throughout the agriculture sector have adapted to fulfill demand during this unprecedented time, many still face challenges with making payroll and staying operational. Congress has passed the CARES Act in an effort to help companies remain viable, but what does it mean for the agriculture industry?
Join alliantgroup Washington insiders, including former Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns and former Senator Heidi Heitkamp, for an informative presentation on the CARES Act and its impact on the agriculture industry, as well as a review of the existing tax relief incentives that farmers, ranchers, growers, producers and processors are eligible to benefit from based on the work they do every day.
To help better support agribusinesses, the Treasury is encouraging all businesses to leverage these existing tax relief provisions to enhance the impact of the newly introduced CARES Act legislation. Register now to learn how your business can benefit!
