Requests PILT payments be calculated as equivalent to the tax assessment if the federal land were assessed as level 7 agricultural land

More than 1.7 million acres of land in Missouri is federally owned, with Wayne, Shannon, Reynolds, Oregon, and Taney counties receiving the highest PILT payments in 2022

Three of the five Missouri counties receiving the most PILT payments rank among the state's top ten poorest counties
