Equalizing Railroads and Farm Land Valuations Debate
Secretary J Ryan testified before the Executive Council on tax valuation equalization between railroad properties and farm lands. Counties saw railroad assessments rise while farm land values fell, notably Sioux County where farm land value dropped about 5 percent and railroad assessments increased. A circular from the Corn Belt Meat Producers Association claims credit for the policy shift, while investigators warn levies may still be set high.
