Farm groups divided on task force report in Kansas
Kansas farm groups give mixed reviews to a seven panel task force report on the state economy, schools and social services. Farm Bureau lauds value added agriculture while others call for faster adaptation to agribusiness mergers and broader rural tech access. The plan proposes a Kansas State University center for value added products and tax credits, with cautions on federal water regulation and Latin American markets. Roy Crenshaw of Farm Bureau supports value added aims but favors federal scrutiny of mergers and ongoing market monitoring rather than state action.
