Tax rule changes cut capital gains taxes for farmers
The Revenue Act of 1978 alters taxation of long term capital gains for farmers. Beginning after October 31 1978 only 40 percent of long term gains will be taxed, effectively excluding 60 percent from taxable income. The same 60 percent deduction applies to installment payments received after that date, reducing 1978 and 1979 tax consequences per Ohio State Extension experts.

Birth as entry to a Kansas cult family
A survivor recounts nearly two decades in a Kansas cult called the Farmer family. Led by a bald “father” and his lieutenant “Mother” the group enforced strict marriage, conditioning, and daily brainwashing amid punishments, drinking, and forced labor before the members were sent to college and eventually expelled at 19. The cult later dissolved, though memories linger in dreams.
