Wheat yields better than anticipated in Kansas despite drought
Kansas wheat prospects improved though drought and May freeze trimmed stands. Earl Hayes notes 20-35 bushels per acre in his area with 50 percent harvested, statewide average about 25-26 bushels. Some counties show lower yields while others report test weights near 58-62 pounds. Harvest may extend longer than normal as fields ripen unevenly and weed problems grow.

Schneider Sees No Excuse for Death Penalty Delay
Kansas Attorney General Curt Schneider said the latest Supreme Court ruling leaves no reason for lawmakers to postpone enacting a new death penalty law. He urged the Legislature to pass a bill next session, criticizing Gov. Bennett for fostering a stalemate over a broad versus limited list of crimes. He favored capital punishment for first degree murders but could support a specific list if needed to implement a death penalty.
