Land sale shows high price amid farmland pent up demand
Kansans backed a land use amendment to aid farmers burdened by taxes. A Johnson County sale of 1.5 acres of state land near Olathe fetched $54,000, despite appraisals of $10,000. Farmland in the area reported at $1,500 to $2,500 per acre. The buyer was a developer and future use is unknown. Legislation on use tax and land policy faces scrutiny.

The piece contrasts with Ford's missed 7 percent target and notes the broader labor force shifts and minimum wage concerns.
