Friends,
Did you know that Washington is one of only two states that taxes farm equipment
the same way it taxes vehicles? These taxes are a significant burden on
farmers, with many facing tens of thousands of dollars in additional costs for their essential equipment. This is more than just an
inconvenience—it’s a direct threat to the future of farming in our state. There has been an alarming acceleration of farm
loss in Washington where we now lose 743 farms every year. It’s clear that something must change. It’s clear our farmers
need our help. Wherever you are on the political spectrum, the
odds are you respect farmers and value our local growers. Let’s end this unfair tax on farming and help preserve the agricultural
backbone of Washington. Sign the petition now and add your voice to the fight
to end the farm equipment tax. It's time to stand up for farmers and the future of farming in our state.
Thank you, David
