Yeah, this kind of shit happens all over the place. Those tax breaks should be going to farmers not to the developers. Only exception is if the land is ACTUALLY being used for farming or growing/selling hay.

From the post:

>Real estate developers across Kansas are acquiring vacant plots in commercial areas as 'hay farms' to avail a special tax break law. Open lush green areas around the Plaza at the Speedway outdoor shopping mall in Kansas City have been turned into 'farms'. These lands do not have any livestock or cultivation but is instead covered in trash. County Appraiser Matt Willard explained: 'Livestock doesn't eat trash. And that's what's getting baled up in that situation. Literal refuse from the surrounding properties.

It's not even that hard to be "legit". You could even just allow a neighbor to graze the land and you can count it as agro (in most states).
