Iowa State University&#8217;s Center for Ag Law and Taxation recently published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calt.iastate.edu\/blogpost\/understanding-ecap-application\">a blog post<\/a> walking through the application process for ECAP.\u00a0 Likewise, Texas Corn producers published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningagclips.com\/five-things-farmers-need-to-know-about-the-emergency-commodity-assistance-program-ecap\/\">a great article<\/a> highlighting five things to know about ECAP.<\/p>\n<p>*<strong>Considering the Residual Fertility Deduction.<\/strong>\u00a0 In recent months, I&#8217;ve gotten several questions related to the residual fertility tax deduction.\u00a0 Essentially, this deduction is available if land is purchased with a residual fertilizer supply attributable to fertilizer applied by the prior owner.\u00a0 There is, however, some mis-information out there about the ability to claim this deduction and the limitations surrounding the deduction.\u00a0 Luckily, Kristine Tidgren and Dario Arezzo are here to help!\u00a0 They recently published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calt.iastate.edu\/blogpost\/considering-residual-fertility-deduction\">this blog post<\/a> outlining the rules and concerns landowners should consider prior to taking this deduction.\u00a0 I was so impressed with their work, I invited them to join me for a conversation on this topic on my Ag Law in the Field Podcast, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/aglaw.libsyn.com\/episode-197-kristine-tidgren-dario-arezzo-residual-soil-fertility-tax-deduction\">available here<\/a> or on your favorite podcast app.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Spring stock show report.<\/strong>\u00a0 I appreciate how many of you follow along with my kids&#8217; stock showing adventures.\u00a0 We had a great Spring run with big wins at the NWSS Breeding Sheep show in Denver, our county stock show, and a\u00a0 sale qualifier at our first San Antonio market lamb show!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13846 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/County-300x241.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/County-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/County-1024x821.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/County-768x616.jpg 768w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/County-1536x1232.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/County.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13845 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Denver-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Denver-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Denver-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Denver-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Denver-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Denver-175x124.jpg 175w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Denver.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13847 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Braun-300x233.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Braun-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Braun-1024x795.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Braun-768x596.jpg 768w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Braun-1536x1193.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/files\/2025\/04\/Braun.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Upcoming Programs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next week, I will be on the Texas Coast!
