On this edition of Hoosier Ag This Week: Indiana Governor Mike Braun signed Senate Bill 1 this week, which would provide property tax reductions to many Hoosier homeowners and farmland owners. Braun signed the legislation despite a message from Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith last weekend saying, “we can't let this become law” and “the Gov needs to VETO this thing.” In a conversation with Hoosier Ag Today on Monday, Beckwith said "I'm sorry" to Hoosier farmland owners for the little relief provided for them in Senate Bill 1, as the focus remains on tax relief for homeowners. You'll also hear from Don Lamb, the Director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, who provides planting safety tips as Hoosier farmers prepare for another Spring planting season. Ryan Martin has your Indiana Farm Forecast. Plus, Brian Basting previews the grain markets for Monday. That's all part of the Hoosier Ag This Week Podcast!
