A Note From Our President and CEO

You work hard, and we want to make sure your earnings stay in your pocket. When you’re farm sales tax exempt, you don’t have to pay sales tax on items you purchase exclusively and directly for the business of farming—including dairy farming, agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, silviculture, beekeeping*, or custom farming services.
Tax-exempt items include:
- Tractors and farm machinery, including parts, accessories, attachments, and lubricants
- Feeds and seeds for planting, as well was fertilizer, soil conditioners, sprays, pesticides, and fungicides
- Poultry, bees**, and beehives**
- Containers for fruits, vegetables, bee products**, grain, hay and silage, plastic bags, sleeves, and sheeting used to store or cover hay and silage, as well as bailing twine and bailing wire
- Animal bedding, drugs for farm livestock or bees**, and milk house supplies
At Blain’s, we provide three easy ways to apply for your sales tax exemption:
- Fill out an application in-store at our Customer Service desk.
