The Tax Relief Act of 2010 has a number of changes to the tax code important to agricultural producers. In this Ag in Uncertain Times webinar, we will be discussing the key changes in the new Tax Law and how they affect agricultural producers. Many of the changes will have a direct impact on depreciation and expensing options available to businesses. The discussion will be useful for all sizes and types of farms and ranches.

We are pleased to have two very knowledgeable presenters:

Gary J. Hoff, Extension Specialist – Taxation, at the University of Illinois, will be providing an overview of the various changes relevant to agricultural producers.

Dr. Ruby Ward from the Department of Applied Economics at Utah State University will take a closer look at the special depreciation rule which allows 100 percent of the cost of new assets to be expensed in the year purchased and how the election of this option could affect the operations depreciation and cash flow.

When: Monday, Feb. 7: 9 a.m. Pacific, 10 a.m. Mountain, 11 a.m. Central, and 12 noon Eastern.
