Our property tax is something like $22-24 per acre for farmland every year. (This total does not all go to county highway department which maintains rural roads) In some cases that is paid by landowners who do not farm so do not drive loaded semi's on rural roads. These trucks load up during the driest part of the year and drive the rural roads to get the harvest in. They may do some damage to roads but maybe not much in October/November during a dry harvestime. The State is trying to raise property tax higher every year for farmers and landowners. At 3.50 corn there may not be much blood left in the turnip. It doesn't cost 500,000 dollars a mile to maintain a rural gravel road or blacktop here. Non farm types may favor better roads to be subsidized by higher property taxes since farmers do not hold much political clout. Not sure many farmers or landowners will favor more taxes to fix roads or fix anything for that matter.
