While giving his annual Condition of the State address, Iowa governor Terry Branstad noted a few of his highest agricultural priorities for the year. One of his main goals is to reform property taxes, which at the moment could be limiting the amount of control farmers have more control over the cost of business.

"To make a living farming today, you have to farm quite a few acres, whether you pay it directly or renting the land, and the tenant ends up (paying the tax) through the rent process," Branstad told AgriNews. "The more we can limit property taxes, the more we can help farmers control production cost."

With an increase in demand for certain crops, more tractors will be out on the field. Those who need agricultural equipment might turn to IronPlanet - with a wide variety of farm tractors, guaranteed inspection reports and online auctions every week, farmers are given more control over the cost of their business.

IronPlanet's marketplace has made doing so a breeze, and with IronClad Assurance, finding a reliable harvester or tractor is a relatively simple process. These items have been personally inspected by a local representative and are guaranteed to be as described on the auction page.
