It was a great time to be at the Missouri State Fair last week, with Missouri celebrating it's 200th anniversary of being a state. KFEQ was able to talk with Garrett Hawkins, the President of the MO Farm Bureau at the Fair and ask him what he loves about the fair. He said he pretty much likes everything, but has great childhood memories of being at the fair with his grandparents.
It was MO Farm Bureau day and Hawkins talked about the support and connection the Farm Bureau has had with the fair for decades. MO Farm Bureau celebrates farm families on their day at the state fair. They highlight a farm family from each county in the state of Missouri.
MO Farm Bureau was handing out stickers at the fair that said, "Don't Tax Death". It was to raise awareness of the changes that the Biden administration is attempting to make to the tax code, making it harder for families to pass on their farm to the next generation.
Hawkins says it is important for farmers, ranchers, small business owners and every day Americans to speak up and say no to new taxes. To learn more, go here.
