Land bill may limit foreign buyers
By TONI WOOD
stat reporter
Foreign ownership of state land may be an issue during the 1980 Kansas legislative session, according to state Rep. John Vogel, I-Lawrence.
Vogel said yesterday he would introduce a bill that would place a limit on the amount of state cropland a foreign individual or corporation could own.
"I have visited with the research depart-
ment in Topkai," he said, "and they let me
know that we were interested in the same type of bill. We might combine a number of bills and ideas to do this."
He said foreign ownership in Kansas was not a problem, but it could become one in the future.
According to statistics from the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, 17,000 acres in Kansas are owned by foreigners. Those acres are among the total state farmland of about 48 million acres, which means that more than two-tenth of a percent of Kansas farmland.
A REPORT TITLED "A Survey of Alien Ownership of Agricultural Land as it Relates to Kansas," prepared by the state board of agriculture, said, "The reports received so far show that 12 foreign individuals or corporations own 13 farms in 10 Kansas
The report showed that those who

reported holdings were usually either western europeans and landowners, two French companies in the Netherlands Antilles, which has a tax treatise giving it advantages in U.S. insurance.
The report said the survey might not be complete because some foreign ownership owners were not aware of the foreign individuals were not aware of the law requiring them to report their holdings while others had claimed that their home owners were complying with the reporting requirement.
IN 1978, Congress enacted the Agricultural foreign investment legislation called "president alien" to report to the Secretary of Agriculture by Aug. 1, 1979, any holdings of U.S. farmland
As of Sept. 1, the United States Department of Agriculture had received about 1,350 reports of foreign ownership.
In Kansas, the state report showed,
in resign payers paid less per acre than
the average for counties. For example,
Jefferson County, the average price of an
Jefferson city to $748, but was
bought by foreigners in 2016.
In Sherman County, the average price ranged from $69 to $1,014 an acre and foreigners paid $887 an acre. The foreigners were based only on a single foreign sale.
VOGEL SAID, "I'm not one to put much faith in those type of statistics, because I think there are many facts that we are not even aware of."
The state report also showed that of 40 other states, 20 legislatures had considered holding a recall. The governor requires that holdings be reported. Of those 27, seven hills were passed and some are planned.
For example, Iowa reported that a house bill passed during the 1979 session would be
effective Jan. 1, 1800, and would alleviate the problem of foreign ownership. The bill was described as "very restrictive and it should be effective."
Kentucky reported that two "very restrictive" bills, which would completely prohibit foreign ownership, would be introduced during the 1980 legislative session.
Pennsylvania reported that legislation had been introduced but had not passed. There had been a "great deal of interest expressed," according to the report.
In the Kansas Legislature, a 1978 Special Committee on Agriculture and Livestock introduced a bill during the 1979 session that set forth the responsibilities of "certain persons, firms and associations" concerning agricultural land. The bill was referred to the Committee on Agriculture for consideration.

Last spring, Negrin opened a storefront, called the New Jersey Cuban House, where he and his families. The Weehanke storefront, however, was bombed a short time later and the Associated Seven called the Associazione ToCla responsibility.
Negrin was still alive when police arrived at the scene a few minutes later but was dead on arrival at Riverside General Hospitol in Secaucus.
Omega Seven is an anti-Castro group that has taken credit for several bombings, and the Mexican government thought the bombing was in retaliation for his participation in the Committee of War.
