‘I am particularly proud of the ways tax reform will benefit America’s farmers and ranchers. Later today, President Trump is delivering the good news at the annual conference of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Like so many states, Kentucky is home to a vibrant farming community. Throughout the legislative process, I heard family farmers loud and clear: We need tax relief. And that’s what Congress delivered.’
