Federal land deal in Chase County could pit government against Kansas farm group
A bipartisan push would have the federal government own a small part of the Z-Bar Ranch in Chase County with a private trust controlling the rest. Support comes from Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, Rep. Pat Roberts, and Dan Glickman, while the Kansas Farm Bureau opposes any federal ownership. The plan envisions a 180-acre historic core within a 10,894-acre ranch, with the U.S. Park Service providing preservation expertise. Critics worry), this could trigger wider land acquisitions, but supporters say Congress should back the plan.
