JB Pritzker’s Farm Death Tax! In Illinois, the family farm gets taxed big time when the owner dies. The farm gets sold!
In surrounding states like Indiana, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Iowa, and Missouri, this does not happen. 
Here’s how the Illinois Death tax Works: 
Illinois has an extreme low threshold on estate tax, when the value of all the assets equals $4 million Illinois tax kicks in, however, the federal estate tax starts at $15 million.
Example: Land at $20,000 an acre and a million-dollar combine can easily put a family farm over $4 million, and the children are forced to sell the farm and land to pay the tax.
It should come as no surprise that because of Democrat Illinois laws signed by JB Pritzker, Illinois farms are disappearing and selling their land off to data centers and solar farms.
Worth noting: At a recent Woodford County Farm Bureau meeting, 200+ farmers told state politicians this is their number one issue. Many Illinois families have already lived it and said it devastated them.
Republican candidate for Governor Darren Bailey recently pointed out:
“Pritzker doesn’t care about Illinois farmers. If he did, death tax reform would be in his budget.
The truth is, he can barely hide his disdain for Downstate.
He hates coming here to campaign, and after eight years, he’s got nothing to show us.”
If JB Pritzker is reelected, expect more farms in Illinois to be sold off.
