A Kansas report prepared for the Legislature urges allowing limited corporate hog farming to halt a rapid industry decline while avoiding harm to family farmers. It notes 8,300 hog farms in 1985 dropping to 7,000 in 1986, with further losses feared, as lawmakers weigh changes ahead of the 1988 session.

Corporate Farming Law Debate Shapes Kansas Report
O Day warns lack of corporate farming law harms small farmers while a research firm says reforms could aid hog and cattle sectors. Democrats challenge the study’s scope and Kansas’ restrictive label, urging clarity on Nebraska comparisons and potential industry incentives.
