It was an interesting article.   I read a lot about farming and had farming friends in Iowa.   You would believe farmers are in constant crisis for one thingsor another.    Crop price fluctuation is  use to justify price support from the feds*.  Crops never have consistent returns, some owner's plan well for this, other don't.  Corporate ownership is often little but a tax write off, losing money is an offset.    *This helps American's with lower food cost at the store.

I don't know Kansas details, but fluctuation in farm prices are normal and there are several price supports to help. 

My observation is, those that know the state best, state legislators, voted to raise tax's in the state againt the governor's plan.    I trust that those men and women who live and work in Kansas, are the right people to evaluate what has to be done.   The legislature is a Republican trifecta, which makes the case for 'failed policy' even stronger. 

Thank you for the link.
