Midwest Farms Capitalizing on Massive 2026 Tax Incentives to Upgrade Aging Grain Storage Bins
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act , signed into law on July 4, 2025, provides major changes and permanent extensions to the federal tax code benefiting agricultural producers in 2026.
The Internal Revenue Service classifies grain storage structures and related investments as qualifying property under Section 179 of the OBBBA.
Midwest farm operators plan to upgrade and replace grain storage infrastructure by using full acquisition expense write-offs against 2026 income.
The tax law increases the maximum deduction and restores 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property bought after January 19, 2025, encouraging facility upgrades and tax savings.
