Own A Worm Farm In Oregon? Now You Are Tax Exempt!
<snip>

OREGON CITY, Ore. --Worm rancher Dan Holcombe is finally getting some respect, along with his squiggly, slithering livestock. Worm wrangling is right up there with cattle ranching and wheat farming, at least in Oregon. A bill signed last week by Oregon's governor will add worms to the state's list of tax-exempt farm products.

Holcombe believes it's about time worms got some recognition. He says his Red Wigglers eat garbage and create prized compost. Not to mention the fish bait.

"Most people, when they think about worms, think, 'Yucky,'" Holcombe told The Oregonian. "They don't think about what worms can do."

Holcombe's wife, Jane, had nothing but good reviews.

Glancing over at the tank, she smiled: "They're like family."
