An Illinois hog producer says 2025 was a strong year, but state lawmakers need to address estate planning for farmers.
Chad Leman says Leman Farms markets about 120,000 pigs a year and also grows corn and soybeans in Central Illinois.
Leman says 2025 was a good year for pork producers.
Leman said taxes are an ongoing issue for the future of farming in Illinois.
The General Assembly has failed to advance legislation that would amend the Illinois estate tax.
According to the Illinois Farm Bureau, family farm estates are taxed at a minimum of 10 to 20 times the farm’s annual income.
