You now have to submit with your tax return a copy of an appraiser’s evaluation, and supply certain other information, such as whether the donation has any strings attached.

Mo - The major problem facing far mers and ranchers and the entire economy Is Inflation stemming primarily from excessive government spending, William J. Kuh fuss, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, said here recently in his annual ad dress to the Federation’s 57th annual meeting in the Kiel Auditorium. “We now have more government than most of us want and more than we can pay for ... Should govern ment be getting so big and domineering that we have more people being given assistance than taxpayers contributing to their sup port?”, the farm leader said.

"Farm Bureau urged President Ford to veto many of these bills - the so-called ‘emergency’ farm bill of 1975, the oil cargo preference bill of 1974, the >5.3 billion ‘emergency employment’ bill of 1975 and now he has vetoed the common situs picketing bill,” Kuhfuss said. Another key concern of farmers and ranchers, Kuh fuss said, is free access to world markets.
