Agriculture Education Freedom Act

The Agriculture Education Freedom Act (H.R. 3079) would change federal tax law to allow students to keep more of the money they earn from agricultural projects. Under this bill, any profit made from selling livestock raised through programs like 4-H or Future Farmers of America (FFA) would be excluded from the student's gross income for tax purposes. This change is intended to support young people in agricultural education by ensuring that the proceeds from their hard work can be fully reinvested into their future education or their next farming project without being reduced by federal income taxes.
