General Information
As a result of ongoing lobbying activities by the Association on behalf of our members, in some years, a small portion of dues payments are not deductible by members as an ordinary and necessary business expense.
For the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2022, no dues were used for lobbying – 100% of the total dues paid are deductible as ordinary business expense.
In addition to our staff activity, when required, we will continue to use paid lobbyists to assist us in making elected officials and government agencies aware of our members’ interests and to monitor state legislation and regulations.
It is important to note that our Association has not endorsed, nor have we contributed any Association funds to any candidate for public office or any political action committee (PAC). Our staff is ready to answer any questions you may have, just give us a call at 314.878.2304 or e-mail Cathy@FarmEquip.org for more information on our lobbying efforts.
