Leaders address issue of heavier taxes expected to be laid on poultry farmers
SUMMARY: Poultry farmers in Mississippi are concerned about potential tax increases following recent changes in state tax assessments. A meeting in Wayne County discussed the implications of updated tax valuations, which have raised the value of chicken houses dramatically, from $2.39 to $493 per square foot. This 48% increase, coupled with rising insurance rates and inflation, poses financial challenges, leading some farmers to fear closure. State leaders are considering solutions and have temporarily waived tax increases until the issue is addressed in the upcoming legislative session. Updates for 34 counties are anticipated in 2025, with 23 more expected in 2026.
