North central acreage lost to June hail totals 55 000 to 60 000 acres with sorghum and small areas of guar and peanuts replacing corn. Southern fields benefited from less hail and rain but irrigation lags, while corn remains largely absent from this year’s plans.

A broken language plea for help in democracy
The author argues that true democracy requires citizen participation and contrasts it with Russia’s crisis and post Soviet capitalism. He cautions that low voter turnout harms self-government, urging readers to vote and engage in governing themselves, lest a few control the process and a "broken language plea" remains unanswered.
