Editorial Bad seeds
Proposals from the Kansas governor’s office push to open farming to corporate and foreign interests, undermining the 80-year family farm law. A Senate HPIP expansion would grant over 10 million in tax breaks to large agriculture, retroactive to 2012 and broadened to livestock and egg production, funded by reduced local revenue. Kansas Farm Bureau and related groups back the moves, signaling a corporate political complex that harms rural communities and schools.
