While Biden bans new
leases, county gets good
news on diesel fuel pricing
Less demand for motor
fuels is dropping prices,
helping county road budgets
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT While President Joe
Biden was acting to ban crude oil
and gas production on 625 million
acres of U.S. coastline, a move
critics say will hamper increased
supplies and any future market
price reductions in petroleum
and gasoline, Anderson County
Commissioners enjoyed a projected savings for the coming year on
the countys annual fuel bids for
the road department.
Commissioners approved a
bid of $2.51 per gallon for off-road
diesel, the largest volume of fuel
used by the road department for
its maintenance equipment, from
Leroy Co-op. That contract runs
throughout 2025, and is nearly a
9% savings over the $2.74 price
contracted for 2024. Diesel nationwide averaged around $4 this time
last year, and is in decline analysts say because demand is down
possibly due to higher costs going
back to the end of 2023 and other
economic factors.
Figures on total gallons used
by the road department in recent
years was not immediately available, but road director Ethan
Lickteig said that figure would
depend on a number of annual factors.
The county road department is
the biggest expense in county government, its anticipated 2025 budget of $3.98 million amounting to

Cold start
Winter comes early in
2025 with ice & snowstorm,
but locals fare pretty well
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The heads of Anderson
County emergency service departments said the local area fared pretty well through the recent winter
storm and praised area motorists for
staying home and off the roads as
packed ice and snow made traveling
dangerous.
Winter storm Blair was most
aggressive in Anderson County
with falling ice accumulations and
only a few inches of snowfall, pailing in a comparison to locals in the
Northeast quadrant of the state that
reported as much as 15 inches of
snowfall after a coating of icy mix.
Temperatures remained well below
freezing and dipped towards zero in
the early mornings this week, with
warmer temperatures expected on
Thursday. Still solid coatings of ice
held on to trees and power lines
though mild winds eased the pressure on those power connections and
helped the area avoid outages.
Other than power issues around
the county, not too much happen-
ing in Anderson County, county
Emergency Preparedness Director
Mark Locke told the Review
Tuesday. All of the various electric
companies continue to work diligently to correct any problems as
they arise. The biggest issue is the
ice on the lines and trees, he said.
County ambulance director Troy
Armstrong said public cooperation
with weather warnings probably
had the most impact on Public Safety
during the storm.
Overall, Im really pleased to see
that our community took the warnings seriously and stayed off the
roadways, Armstrong said. This
made a big difference in keeping our
responders safe. He said police and
emergency responders are always at
risk of being hit by other traffic on
the roadways while working emergencies or crash scenes.
Its concerning, but knowing
that people are staying off the roads
during storms helps immensely.
Armstrong said Anderson County
EMS implemented an inclement
weather response plan from 7:00
P.M. on Saturday evening until 7:00
A.M. Monday morning This plan
allowed for staffing of an ambulance
in both Colony and Garnett, and first

Benchmark Farm Value Trends
Report issued by Frontier Farm
Credit says farmland values in
eastern Kansas remain stable.
While sales activity has slowed,
cropland is showing pockets of
strength.
Over the last 6 months, the
report said the average of the
benchmark value changes ranged
from -2.8% to 5.7% with an average
of 0.9%. The 12-month value changes ranged from -5.1% to 9.5% with
an average of 1.7%. The major factors affecting the agricultural real

market, and limited supply of real
Leavenworth facility
may have role in Trump
anticipated roundup
of illegal immigrants
BY DANE HICKS
THE KANSAS INFORMER
LEAVENWORTH More than
a century of experience and
utility in northeast Kansas
may be brought to bear in what
President-elect Donald Trump
promises will be an unprecedented deportation action
against illegal immigrants,
beginning with the most violent
criminal offenders in that cast.
Proposal documents recently acquired by the ACLU outline submissions by numerous
private companies for detention facility bids to be located
across the United States in a
preparation phase for deportations that was launched last
summer by Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE).
ICE sent out Requests For
Information to established
contractors for development
of those temporary detention
sites which would house illegals until their deportation.
One location specified in the
RFI was Leavenworth, Kansas,
the site of the now moth

estate for sale. Farmers and ranchers continue to be the predominant
buyers.
Its an analysis that makes sense
according to what Chris Cygan
with Property Source LLC says
hes seeing in the local market and
principles that play out based on
location and logistics.
The areas that have held the
largest inflation numbers in the
last year, for the most part, are
in areas that are closer to larger
city areas. Cygan said. Within
an hour or two of the larger city
areas there seems to be more interest from investor type buyers. You
create a situation where you have
more buyers than there are properties coming up for sale, which
helps keep the pressure on the
prices to increase.
Cygan said in the areas where
the sales are mostly to the local
farming community, those buyers

City unveils new
online software
booking system
for 24/7 camping
reservations
GARNETT City staff has a new
online software system for booking
the more than 3,000 camping permit
reservations the city makes annually
for local campgrounds.
Garnett Community Development Director Kris Hix said www.
campspot.com is designed to streamline the process to make 24/7 booking of local camping facilities more
efficient and convenient for those
hoping to spend a few nights under
the stars in the local area.
This new software will be more
user friendly and allow for multiple
camping spots to be reserved, which
was not an option with the previous program, Hix said. This should
decrease the time it takes to reserve
your campsite and any confusion
about which spots are available.
Reservations for Cornstock camping will open on February 1, 2025,
and Lake Garnett Grand Prix Revival
camping will open on March 1, 2025.
We look forward to a busy camping season, and as always, if you have
any questions, give us a call, Hix
said.

about 26 percent of the countys
overall $15.2 million approved
spending plan for the year.
Fluctuating prices of fuel make
up a substantial portion of that
departments expenses. Other
bids for motor oil and gasoline
were also opened during the
bid letting on Monday.
In a final blow to the oil
and gas industry which Biden
has subjugated to wind and
solar clean energy programs
throughout his administration, the president on Monday
banned oil and gas leasing in
offshore areas along the West
and East coasts, eastern Gulf
of Mexico and other portions
of the Bering Sea in Alaska,
Contending the bans were a
way to preserve the fishing and
tourism industries in those
affected states. Biden implemented the band under the
Outer Continental Shelf Lands
Act passed in 1953, which contains an open-ended provision
with authority to execute the
bans while excluding authority
for a succeeding president to
reverse it.
Incoming president Donald
Trump has said he will find a
way around the ban, however,
and may shut down offshore
windmill projects.
The average price for
unleaded gasoline in the United
States on Wednesday was $3.06
a gallon, and $2.68 in Kansas.

POSS
JULY 11, 1952
JANUARY 6, 2025
Stephen Charles Poss, age 72, of
Greeley, Kansas, passed away
on Monday, January 6, 2025, at
his home.
He was born on July 11, 1952,
in Garnett, Kansas, the fourth
of six children to Earl Peter
and Roberta
P h y l l i s
(Legan) Poss.
Stephen
attended
grade school
at St. John's
in Greeley
and graduated
from
Poss
Garnett High
with
the
Class of 1970. Stephen lived a
life full of love, hard work, and
adventure.
Stephen worked in various blue-collar professions
throughout his life, including a
significant time with Donohue
Trucking, Ross Truckline as
well as offering backhoe and
dump truck services. A true
jack-of-all-trades, he was also
a mechanic, and his extensive
skills and hardworking nature
served him well in his farming,
ranching and truck-driving
careers. He was known for his
humbleness, never thinking of
himself as better than anyone
else and he embraced whatever
came along in life with simple
humor and sarcasm.
Stephen was united in marriage to Jayne Brown on May
26, 1979 and enjoyed his life
with her until her unexpected
passing on March 9, 1998. This
union was blessed with four
daughters, Hannah, Rachel,
Emily & Meghan. He cherished his family deeply, and
his children and grandchildren
were always at the center of
his world. His love for them
was immense, and they carry
forward his legacy.
After Jayne's passing,
Stephen honored her memory
by serving St. John's school
wherever he could including
being on the St. John's School
Council for years, always
donating to the fundraisers
financially or with his time. He
was a faithful St. John's parish
member his entire life, often
helping with preparing scrambled eggs for their breakfasts
or you could find him washing dishes. Stephen was always
willing to lend a hand to anyone in need, without judgment
or questions.
He was blessed to enjoy the
later years of his life with his
wife Glenda Pedersen, whom
he married on October 1, 2022.
Together, they explored new
places, including the mountains and ocean of Oregon, and
enjoyed activities like whale
watching, always eager to
make lasting memories.
BONNIE STOUT
Funeral services for Bonnie Stout, 87 of Iola, will be held on
Friday, January 17, 2025, at 10:00 AM at Feuerborn Family
Funeral Service, 1883 US Highway 54, Iola, Kansas, with burial

Hyatt Club celebrated
Christmas December 14
RoseMarie Miller, the hostess of the Christmas Hyatt
Club meeting, had the tables
decorated so pretty for the
December 14, 2024 meeting, at
the Dutch Cafe.
RoseMarie gave the blessing
and we had our lunch. We did
not have a meeting, because
we were in the spirit of the
fun festivities. We revealed our
secret pals and played blackout
Bingo.
Our Birthday members
for December were Angela
McSpadden and Dorothy
Miller. They received their gifts
from their secret pals. Marilyn
Benjamin is a Christmas baby,
she was absent but we want to
wish her a Happy Birthday as
well.
We had a drawing for the
hostess gifts and they were
won by Angela and Sherry
Benjamin. They were gift cards
to Dutch Cafe.
We had a surprise doorprize which was rigged and
RoseMarie won a Christmas
evergreen fresh arrangement.
We enjoyed having our special
guest which included several
husbands. Rose Marie fixed us
all a goody bag of candy and a
pocket calendar.
Our President Sherry
Benjamin will be hosting Hyatt
Club Jan. 8th at noon at the
Mexican restaurant.
We missed the members that
were not able to attend and
thinking and praying for members and their families that are
ill. I want to reach out to a dear
friend Charlene Davison that
now lives in Ohio. She enjoys
reading our Hyatt Club news.
Hello Charlene from your

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, January 9, 2025
OPINION
Wrong choice on good/bad fats
America may be poised for a nutrition policy
reset, one that starts to reverse the epidemic of chronic disease afflicting a majority of
Americans. With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tapped
to lead the Department of Health and Human
Services, the incoming administration has an
opportunity to scrutinize a once-rare but now
pervasive ingredient in our diet: seed oils.
Over the last 125 years, our consumption
of these oils, extracted from soybeans, peanuts, sunflowers, safflower, and other seeds and
beans, has multiplied more than any other food
source.
That rise has far-reaching health implications that have been downplayed or dismissed
by some of our nations foremost nutrition
experts. To turn the page on our chronic disease
crisis, the new administration should initiate a
thorough, science-based review of seed oils.
Seed oils were largely developed as machine
lubricants during the Industrial Revolution.
It was Procter & Gamble that introduced them
into the food supply via its product Crisco in
1911 and aggressively marketed them as a modern-day alternative to lard.
That push got a massive boost in 1961 from
the American Heart Association, when it recommended consuming polyunsaturated seed
oils over saturated fats as the key strategy for
preventing heart disease. This advice launched
a new era for seed oils: Now they could be marketed as heart-healthy.
But the AHA position may have been shaped
by a sizable donation from P&G in 1948, equivalent to $20 million today, that, according to
the AHA, was the bang of big bucks that
launched the group.
Findings of seed oil researchers have been
troubling. Studies show these oils oxidize easily, which fuels inflammation. Omega-6 fatty
acids in seed oils displace healthier omega-3s in
cell membranes. Large, gold-standard clinical
trials found that lowering cholesterol, whether
through seed oil consumption or other means,
increased cancer mortality rates.
By the 1980s, these findings were worrisome
enough that the National Institutes of Health
convened four high-level workshops. Rather
than issue public warnings on seed oils, the NIH
decided any concerns shouldnt contradict its
message about lowering cholesterol. It was a
pattern ignoring evidence of seed oils harm
in favor of preserving prevailing orthodoxy on
dietary fats.
Seed oil is chemically unstable. Its fatty acids
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
NINA TEICHOLZ NUTRITION AUTHOR
degrade into oxidation products such as free
radicals and degraded triglycerides. In one analysis, 130 volatile compounds were isolated from
a piece of fried chicken, and these oxidation
products can pass through the blood-brain barrier.
Industry experts are aware of these problems. Yet, public health institutions remain
staunch supporters. Federal dietary guidelines
still recommend consuming about 5.5 teaspoons
of industrial seed oils daily while limiting saturated fats.
We made the wrong choice on good vs. bad
fats. Whole, natural animal fats are stable when
heated and dont produce the same harmful
byproducts as seed oils. While seed oil must be
refined, bleached, deodorized, winterized, and
stabilized in factory settings, butter requires
nothing more than shaking milk in a container.
Furthermore, systematic reviews and
meta-analyses on randomized, controlled clinical trials routinely find that saturated fats have
no effect on cardiovascular or total mortality
and little to no effect on cardiovascular events.
Its time to correct course. The Dietary
Guidelines for Americans should eliminate
outdated caps on saturated fats and the new
administration should prioritize a comprehensive review of the seed oils that have largely
replaced them. Our policies and diets should
align with science.

author with a Ph.D. in nutrition. This piece originally ran in the Washington Examiner.

So now the county has to pay to clean up the
poop and pee mess from the old county attorneys dog in her upstairs county office. I think
she should have to put that office back into
the shape it was in before she fouled it. How
disgusting. That should not be the county taxpayers responsibility. Thank you.

PSA: If me and my fellow farmers seem a little pissed off lately, let me fill you in on why.
Imagine for a moment, you worked your tail off
all year and are excited because for the first year
in several years, all your crops did well across
the board. Yet come to find out, you did all this
work and you realize if youre lucky and thats
a big lucky you might only lose a few thousand
dollars for the year. To top it all off, you havet
even paid your interest on your operating loan.
When you figure that on top of your inputs, you
realize that you are screwed from the beginning.
Im sure if you non- farmers could see what we
are paying these damn banks and operating
costs, you would have a little more respect for
what we do and not think we are just making
money hand over fist.
Even Jimmy Carters dismal presidency had bright spots
One need not overstate the claims of Jimmy
Carters supposed post-presidential saintliness
or understate the failures of his presidency to
recognize three of his signal achievements.
Democrats customarily are heavy regulators, but Carter, who died on Dec. 29 at age 100,
deregulated the air, truck, and rail industries
very much to the publics benefit. Carter also
deserves at least backhanded credit for appointing inflation-fighter Paul Volcker to lead the
Federal Reserve and then not fighting Volckers
bitter but necessary medicine. And even in
retrospect, the Camp David Accords between
Israel and Egypt are among the most stunning
diplomatic triumphs of the modern world.
Before Carter, the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the Civil Aeronautics Board, and
other agencies set fares for almost every element of the transportation industry, aside from
private automobiles. As president, Carter personally urged deregulation. In the final two
years of his term, he pushed through Congress
the Airline Deregulation Act, the Motor Carrier
Act (for trucking), the Staggers Rail Act, and the
Telecommunications Act, each of which massively deregulated the associated industry.
Combined with technological advances
that helped improve efficiency, Carters initiatives worked tremendously well. Thats what
free-market competition usually does. In inflation-adjusted dollars, the costs in each industry
have fallen significantly in the past 45 years.
Indeed, as one study shows, in the 40 years from
1980 to 2019, the wage-adjusted cost of airfare
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
QUIN HILLYER THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
was cut in half [and if measured in] the cost
per mile flown, the decline [has been] even more
dramatic.
Alas, much of the rest of Carters stewardship
was disastrous both abroad and, economically,
at home. Now is not the time to blast him for
his failures. What merits praise is that, even
as his own advisers warned him that appointing a hawk against inflation such as Volcker
could slow the economy significantly in the
short term, Carter didnt flinch. While other
policies could have helped stem the inflation
that reached more than 13% without necessitating quite so drastic a hike in interest rates,
which reached 21%, Carter at least recognized,
even if belatedly, that the inflationary disease
was worse than Volckers cure. He, therefore,
let the cure be administered to his own shortterm political detriment. While it took former
President Ronald Reagans policies to unleash
prosperity, at least Carter let Volcker set the
anti-inflationary predicate.
Then, of course, there were the 13 extraordinary days when Carter hosted Israels
Menachem Begin and Egypts Anwar Sadat for
peace talks at Camp David. Egypt and Israel
have now been at peace for so long that it is hard
to remember just how much they hated each
other and for how many bloody decades. That a
formal accord could be reached at Camp David,
much less a lasting and overwhelmingly productive peace, seemed miraculous.
Granted, its not as if Carter, by force of
will, brought the two leaders together: Both,
especially Sadat, had been laying the two-state
groundwork for several years while Carter pursued a more multipolar approach. Still, Begin
and Sadat personally detested each other. It
took Carters dogged and quasi-spiritual efforts,
shuttling back and forth between two leaders
reluctant even to cross from one retreat building
to the next to speak in person, to make the whole
thing work.
Even for those of us in our early teenage
years, the accords seemed astonishing. EgyptianIsraeli hatred, and especially the oil shortages
flowing from that hatred, were an infuriating
backdrop to our lives. Long gas lines, canceled

Why would we want to make Canadas economy our problem?
The slogan of James K. Polks supporters in
the 1844 presidential campaign was 54 40 or
Fight, referring to their desire to take a substantial slice of what would eventually become
Canadian territory along the Pacific Northwest
coastline.
For his part, Donald Trump isnt bothering
to set out any latitude lines when he discusses
his ambitions on Canada he wants the whole
thing, or so he says in his trolling of our friendly
neighbor to the north and its embattled progressive prime minister Justin Trudeau.
In recent weeks, Trump has mused about
Canada becoming the 51st state, posted an artificially generated image of himself beside a
Canadian flag atop a mountain, staring heroically into the distance, and referred to Trudeau,
amusingly, as governor.
By all accounts, most Canadians have taken
this in stride, but some have expressed consternation or indignation, to which we can reply,
Dont worry, Canada we dont really want
you.
Even if Trump were inclined to dust off War
Plan Red the Department of Wars strategy in
the early 20th century for how to conduct a war
against the British Empire, featuring Canada
as a key battlefield it wouldnt be worth the
effort.
The United States doesnt need another
huge, misgoverned blue state. We already have
California, where the climate and the surfing
are better.
Over the last several years, Canada has managed to fall even further behind the United
States economically. The IMF forecasts that
Canadas national income per head, equivalent
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
to around 80 percent of Americas in the decade
before the pandemic, will be just 70 percent of its
neighbors in 2025, according to The Economist.
Writing on the same theme at the website The
Hub, University of Calgary economics professor
Trevor Tombe notes that the gap between the
Canadian and American economies has now
reached its widest point in nearly a century.
The U.S., he continues, is on track to produce
nearly 50 percent more per person than Canada
will. Canada would be the fourth-poorest state
per capita in the Union, beneath Alabama.
Then, theres the matter of politics. Canada
would be a blue-state behemoth, matching
California in population (roughly 40 million)
and, presumably, in reliably Democratic politics. There are red areas of Canada, which have
the same urban-versus-rural divide as the U.S.,
yet the Great White North is overall less conservative.
Polling in Canada before the U.S. presidential
election showed Kamala Harris with a three-toone lead over Trump and an advantage even in
the more Trump-friendly prairies.
The U.S. and Canada are friendly neighbors
with intertwined histories but have distinct
political and economic cultures. We might think
wed annex Canada and make it more like us,
but with two Democratic senators and a
huge tranche of electoral votes for Democratic
presidential candidates Canada would surely
make us more like it.
In that sense, the joke would definitely be on
us.
Wed also be buying ourselves an instant
separatist problem by incorporating Quebec,
the French-speaking province that has had a
notoriously troubled relationship with the rest
of Canada. If we want to add French, along with
English and Spanish, as yet another obligatory
language option, this would be a great move.
And theres the matter of Justin Trudeau.
After his irksome, grievous misrule of Canada,
it would be even more annoying if the story
ended with his becoming a U.S. citizen. Who
knows? Still young, he might revive his career
in Democratic politics. He couldnt run for president, but might use his status as a kingmaker in
the Ontario caucuses for power and influence.
All that said, national modesty compels us to
admit that all our prior efforts to take Canada
have failed, and our pleasant northerly neighbor
deserves respect amid the ribbing. Let Canada
be Canada.

that designed these vehicles without a rain
gutter so that all the doors can freeze shut on
them. Hes probably real proud of himself but
we are not out here in the public. His stupidity
is overhelming. Thank you.
Our president-elect Trump says he wants
to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of
America. Now come one. He wants to make
Canada the 51st state. Theres something going
on here and its very spooky.
I have to say I was amazed with all that ice in
the ice storm and our power was hardly out at
all in Garnett. Are they finally getting things
fixed? Didnt see many limbs down on power
lines either. I think they must be doing a pretty
good job watching for those overhanging limbs
in peoples yard that can break a line, even
though it makes them unpopular.

Happy New Year to my readers First annual artifact identification day in Garnett
Hey! Its a new year every
body. So, HAPPY NEW YEAR
to you.
This means its time to make
those New Years resolutions
if you havent already made
them. Then its your responsibility to keep them. Have you
ever given any thought as to
how many years ago this practice started?
New Years Resolutions
were started over 4,000 years
ago, by the Babylonians in
Mesopotamia. Most likely in
the springtime, as their lives
revolved around agriculture.
The beginning of the calendar started in the March/April
time frame when crops began
to grow. This symbolized a new
beginning. They would make
promises to the gods for the
new year and use this as a time
to return borrowed tools, supplies and equipment.
They lived in a trade based
economy. If you kept your
promise (New Years resolution) to the gods, it was said
that good fortune would fall
upon you.

Roman Empire didnt know
what day it was. This made it
difficult to plan events or anything at all.
In 46 BC Julius Caesar established January 1st as the beginning of the year to solve this
problem.
On January 1st government
officials would make promises
to the emperor himself to show
loyalty. The courts would close
for half a day and New Years
was considered a holiday.
Its really easy to make
those New Year resolutions,
but a lot easier to break them
On Saturday, January 25th
from 9:00a.m. – 4:00 p.m., the
Anderson County Historical
Society Museum will host an
Artifact Identification Day.
This will be a time where
anyone may bring objects they
have discovered and learn
about them from experts. The
program is free and open to
the public and held at the
Anderson County Historical
Society Museum (Farm Room)
west entrance, located at 410 W.
6th Avenue.
Although
identification
of projectile points is subjective at best, local avocational
archeologists will identify the
items to the best of their ability and provide insights about
the history connected to them.
Artifacts will be examined on
a first-come, first-served basis,
and participants should limit
their collections to no more
than 20 objects.
Experts will not appraise or
speculate about the value of the
items. The Kansas Historical
Society has recorded at least
160 prehistoric and historic sites in Anderson County,
Kansas alone. Kansas's archaeological record dates back over
14,000 years to the end of the

ROUNDUP…
FROM PAGE 1
balled Leavenworth Detention
Center owned by CoreCivic of
Brentwood, Tenn.
It was not initially clear how
many jobs the facility would provide or what the economic impact
to the region would be if the facility was approved.
Other facilities proposed in
the ICE planning documents
included South Texas Family
Residential Center in Dilley,
TX; Nevada Southern Detention
Center in Pahrump, NV; Cibola
County Correctional Center in
Milan, NM; Torrance County
Detention Facility in Estancia,
NM; California City Correctional
Center in California City, CA.
Some 8 million illegal immigrants poured across the U.S.
southern border since the early
days of the Biden Administration,
when the new president quickly undid border security measures instituted by the Trump
Administration in the previous
four years. As urban areas of the
country began to publicly oppose
the masses of illegal immigrants
due to the cost they imposed on
local services, the issue rose in

are making purchase decisions
more on return and their own business operation more so than on
just projected future inflation.
It will also depend on the productivity of the land in most situations, Cygan said. If you have
pasture that is very healthy and
thick grass it will sustain a lot
more livestock than if it is thin
grass with rocky ground. Crop
land can produce a large variance
of grain yields depending on the
type of soil and amounts of nutrition available to the plants.
Cygan also noted the impact
of hunting enthusiasts driving
price pressure in some areas that
have wooded land available and/
or areas that are known to have
large deer and turkey populations.
These buyers impact the market as
well, Cygan said, purchasing land
just for hunting for their own families and holding the property as an
LOCAL
prominence beyond right wing
talking points and became one
of the most important issues of
the 2024 election. Incidents of illegal immigrant crime, such as the
murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, by a gang-connected illegal immigrant, placed
more emphasis on efforts to clear
the country of the illegal criminal
element first.
Though insulated from the
countrys borders, Kansas has
seen its own impacts from illegal
immigrant crime. In November
ICE rounded up 19 criminal illegals in Southwest Kansas, including a previously deported 29-yearold Mexican national with convictions for drug trafficking, theft and
illegal re-entry after deportation,
and a previously deported 43-yearold Mexican national with convictions for burglary, driving under
the influence and illegal re-entry.
In October, Porfirio Dela CruzCantu, an illegal Mexican national
working at a Garnett restaurant,
was arrested for assault after a
bicyclist on the Prairie Spirit Trail
said he tried to sexually assault
her.
Kansas geography makes it central to human trafficking routes
coast to coast. In late November
law officers near Topeka arrested
the driver of a Honda Odyssey
containing 10 Hispanic individuals, one of which was a 4 year-old
female hidden inside the cabin.
Police arrested the driver, Juan
Pescador-Chimal, accusing him of
human smuggling but eventually charging him with harboring
undocumented immigrants. One of
the individuals identified himself
as Oscar Hernandez Garcia, but a
check of his fingerprints revealed
his actual identity as an illegal
Honduran named Erlan Navarro
Zuniga, wanted on five warrants
in San Francisco. The 4 year-old
told officer she had not seen her
parents in several days.
Leavenworth has a rich history of both Kansas and national
service as an incarceration site.
It was the site of the first territorial jail in 1861, and U.S. Army
Disciplinary Barracks was established there in 1871. In 1895 that
facility was transferred to the
Department of Justice to create
one of the first federal prisons in
the country. The federal pen there
opened in 1906, and would eventually house infamous criminals like
Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly
and Robert Stroud known as the
Bird Man of Alcatraz.
asset for future investment value.
Commercial hunting is a factor as
well.
We have seen sales to companies that will use the property for
leasing hunts to out of the area
hunters, Cygan said. They can
generate a larger return, in a lot of
circumstances, than you will get
from farming or leasing to a farming operation.
Kansas cropland benchmark
values have increased 1.6% over
the most recent six-month period
and by 3.6% over the past year,
according to the study findings.
Individually, the value of the
Clay County benchmark farm
was unchanged in the last half of
2024; the Neosho County benchmark farm increased 0.8%, while
in Brown and Miami counties, the
benchmarks increased 3.4% and
2.3%, respectively
While the market remains stable overall, there are instances of
significant deviations in sales prices, both above and below expectations, said Tim Koch, executive
vice president of business devel-
opment for the three collaborating
Associations. Prices above expectations are anomalies and dont
represent the broader trend.
While many of todays buyers
are well-positioned financially and
capable of exceeding expected prices, most sales remain flat, Koch
added. Buyers are increasingly
cautious with their working capital, waiting for the right opportunities. This selectivity is driving
a reduction in sales, with buyers
focusing on high-quality, strategically located land.
Interest rates are not expected to have a significant impact
on the market, according to Koch.
Margins and availability of capital will play a more crucial role in
influencing buyer behavior.
Addressing pastureland trends,
Koch said, The pastureland market has strengthened in some
areas, driven by profitability of
the cow-calf sector. However, rising prices may lead some buyers
to reduce herd size rather than
expand their holdings.
