Kansas farmers resist two bills targeting property tax and sales tax
Kansas farmers push back against Senate Bills 178 and 264 aiming to raise land values and remove farm machinery sales tax exemptions. They warn higher property taxes hurt rural counties, schools, and households while noting stressed profits from low crop prices and weather. Local farmers warn of broader rural exodus if tax burdens rise.
