My Last Blog Post…?

The Farmcpatoday.com blog started early in 2009. I remember spending time looking at various professional blogs and noticed that there was no blog that focused on farming and agriculture. I thought I could certainly try to do a blog on this subject.


My goal was to get 100 people to read the blog. I think the first month of the blog I had well over 100 readers and by the end of 2009, the blog was attracting several thousand readers each month.


As the blog matured, several ag related media companies reached out to me including Top Producer where I continue to do a column for them. I also post our most of our blog entries to Agweb.com. A recent blog post on Agweb.com reviewing a Tax Court case on a farming using old tractors on their farm attracted over 70,000 views in a very short period.


The reason for my title in this post is that I am retiring from CLA effective December 31, 2022. However, I will continue to speak, write, and do other thought leadership including posting to Agweb.com on a fairly consistent basis.


This blog will be in good hands with Kelly Hardy and Mohit Nayyar taking charge. I look forward to my next phase of work life. I want to thank everyone who reached out to me over the last 14 years and look forward to meeting even more professional friends in the future.

Thank you, Mr. Neiffer for all your years of helping my tax practice. It was greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the information you have shared with us over the years. You have the gift of writing about complicated tax laws in a way we can all understand. Best of luck in the future!

Thanks, Paul for sharing your hard work! Your insights have been helpful beyond measure. Best wishes in your retirement!

So happy for you! Thanks for being support to this sole practitioner-you’ve been responsive and helpful to me more than once. Considering the numbers of people in your following built through seminars and the blog, I was surprised and thankful for your responses. You’re a true professional.

Congratulations and happy retirement! I sure have enjoyed your insight and blog posts!

Thank you for your generous sharing of knowledge and, on occasion, a piece from your personal life! It is much appreciated. Best wishes.

Wow! I am happy that you are going to retire and enjoy some time in Hawaii — but I sure will miss you! No one knows more about farm taxes than you do! And you can explain the new laws so that we can understand them! Anything new and I go straight to your blog for clarification. I have been reading your blog for many years if not from day one! Best wishes for the new bloggers.
