Kidco is a 1984 comedy film directed by Ronald F. Maxwell and starring Scott Schwartz, Marty Van Hoe, Mahlon Richmond, Clifton James, and Vincent Schiavelli. A pair of children who live on a farm decide to make some extra money by selling composted horse manure as fertilizer. As their sales increase, they draw increased scrutiny from the IRS and state tax board, as well as the large scale competitor who seeks to put them out of business at any cost. The children eventually win a court case brought against them by the IRS. They are able to prove that the fertilizer is not taxable as tax had already been paid on the horse feed before the horses processed it into manure. less
