The application deadline for farms with existing Exemption Certificates on file with farm suppliers was January 1, 2022. Applications are still being accepted for existing farms. However, the Kentucky Department of Revenue may not be able to issue an Agriculture Exemption Number for late applications before the current Exemption Certificates expire. That could cause a lapse in sales tax exemption this year. The existing Exemption Certificates are valid through June 30, 2022. Farmers who missed the deadline should apply as soon as possible. 

Farms that do not have existing Exemption Certificates should also apply as soon as possible in order to qualify for the sales tax exemption. 

Kentucky law now requires that farmers apply to the Kentucky Department of Revenue for an Agriculture Exemption Number to qualify for exemption from sales tax on qualified purchases for the farm. For more information, instructions, and link to the application see the earlier article "Agriculture Exemption Number Now Required for Tax Exemption on Farm Purchases."

Agriculture Exemption Number Now Required for Tax Exemption on Farm Purchases

July 19th, 2021

A new Kentucky law requires that farmers apply for an Agriculture Exemption Number to make qualified purchases for the farm exempt from sales tax. Farmers may still use Forms 51A158 and 51A159 without an Agriculture Exemption Number through June 30, 2022, by using their driver’s license number.  Exemption Certificates without an Exemption Number will expire and no longer be valid as of July 1, 2022.

Price Risk Management Tools for Cattle Producers

January 28th, 2022

The last few years are unlikely to be remembered fondly by many cattle producers. Large cattle supplies, a global pandemic, weather challenges, and a sharp increase in feed prices have all impacted feeder cattle values. As I write this on January 21, 2022, there is more than a $15 per cwt increase in CME© feeder cattle futures from the March contract to the August contract. This article will briefly discuss some tools available to cattle producers should they want to protect themselves from downside price in 2022.
