Alliance blamed for dying wheat in Kansas fields
Kansas investigators, led by the State board of agriculture secretary and Chancellor Snow, found damaged wheat in Russell Seward and Stafford counties where ground was not properly prepared. They link the losses to Alliance activities rather than Hessian fly or chinch bugs, noting healthy crops where fields were well prepared. Some reports say the Alliance holds lectures and gatherings to promote mortgage relief, while crop losses in western counties are attributed to poor farming practices.
