Craig E. Althauser – Northeast KFMA Ag Economist
As we progress through this period of challenging economic times for Kansas farms and ranches, we have been handed
some new tools that can be used to help us manage income and self‐employment taxes. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
(TCJA) was signed into law on December 22, 2017, containing several provisions that will enable farm families to more
efficiently manage their tax situations now and in the coming years. As displayed in the graph on the following page,
average annual statewide Kansas Farm Management Association (KFMA) net accrual farm incomes plummeted in 2015
and have remained at low levels since. We are now well into the fourth year of this lower income period. Accordingly,
when managing income and self‐employment taxes now, we should be open to utilizing tools and tax attributes

As I write this, there are piles of grain on the ground in many areas of the state, market prices for grain below the cost of
production, uncertainty in the tax laws as we plan for the end of the year, reduced working capital and eroding debt
repayment capacity for many farms... all part of the current agriculture management environment. These are also
reminders to each of us of the importance of careful planning and consideration as management decisions are made.
Those of us working within the KFMA program and in the Agricultural Economics Department greatly appreciate the
efforts of those working on the farms and ranches of Kansas. We are thankful for the opportunity to provide farm
management information to farm decision makers through this newsletter and through delivery of the KFMA Program.
The KFMA motto is “Building Strong Relationships…Producing Excellence” and we desire to use this newsletter as a way
of building our relationship with you and to provide you with information that helps you achieve excellence. The KFMA
E‐Newsletter is sent quarterly throughout the year. This issue provides information on farm profitability, measuring
financial health, and the importance of understanding your farm’s current financial position and debt repayment ability.
Finally, we provide you with some guidance toward year‐end tax planning and management.
Further information can be found on the extension agricultural economics website at www.agmanager.info and the
KFMA website at www.agmanager.info/kfma. I would welcome any comments that you feel will be helpful for the KFMA
program to excel in our work with the farm families of Kansas as we seek to help you know your numbers, use your
numbers, and reach your goals. Till next time…

…….At the hearing, Thompson, who is in line to chair the committee if Republicans win a House majority in the Nov. 8 elections, asked how a margin protection plan for row crops, already in use by dairy farmers, would compare to the current crop subsidy programs, which are triggered by low market prices. The dairy margin program issues payments when feed costs are too close to milk prices.
