Crop tax credit restored for food bank donations Oregon lawmakers passed a law providing tax relief to farmers,who make donations to food banks and other hun ger relief organizations. The bill reinstates and in creases the previous 10 per cent crop donation tax credit, which expired in 2011, to pro vide to farmers a new 15 per cent tax credit on the whole sale price o f their donation. “The reinstatement o f the crop donation tax credit will benefit Oregon farmers and families across the'state,” said H o u se R epublican L eader M ike M cL ane (R -Pow ell Butte). I “Hunger is n ot a partisan issue, and I thank m y col leagues in the Legislature, as w ell as the' g o v ern o r, for working together to recognize the efforts o f the farm ing community in their fight to help their neighbors who are facing hunger.” According to the Oregon F o o d B ank, m o re th a n 260,000 Oregonians, includ ing children, the disabled and elderly, rely on an emergency food source for their meals. With a 5 percent increase over the previous tax credit th a t ex p ired in 2011, Thursday's bill signing is en couraging news to farm ers who wish to donate more to hunger relief organizations. Rep. C liff Bentz? (R- Ontario) said he plans t;o con tinue working to expand the tax credit to 30 percent to provide a greater incentive to farmers to help feed the hun gry- "I'm enthusiastic, as I feel this is taking us in the right direction," said Rep. Bentz. "This will be a useful pilot project that can show us a way to com bat hunger in a m ore efficient and effective manner." Officials say the crop do nation tax credit is a cost-ef fective measure to help pro vide for those in need.
