Farm Bureau urges tax reform on ag land values
Doyle Jarrard president of Washington County Farm Bureau calls for revising the state assessment law to base all farm land valuations on earning capacity rather than market sales. He argues current 50 50 split ignores limited sales and notes land prices near $2 000 an acre reflect franchise-like estimates rather than true market value. He urges higher capitalization rates, saying 6 5 percent is obsolete due to rising interest rates.
