Shadow of fiscal cliff on Kansas farms threatens family estates
Pratt County farmer Berry Bortz discusses how looming estate tax changes and rising land values threaten the next generation’s ability to keep the family farm. With the Bush era tax cuts expiring, estate exclusions fall to 1 million dollars and rates rise to 59 percent, potentially forcing sales to cover taxes. Kansas land values have surged, pushing some farms toward the million-dollar threshold, affecting about 48 percent of Kansas Farm Management Association members.

Kansas Chamber Pushes Pension Overhaul and 401(k) Plan
The Kansas Chamber of Commerce plans to press lawmakers to reopen debates on public pensions and push a 401(k) style plan for new teachers and government workers as part of a broader agenda to curb state spending and ultimately eliminate income taxes. They cite a $9.2 billion long term funding gap through 2033 and emphasize moving toward sustainable finances while facing opposition from public employee groups.
