Farm Bill faces cuts as crop insurance draws support from farmers
Legislators and Kansas grower Garetson push for strong crop insurance amid debate over the 2012 farm bill. They emphasize insurance as vital during drought, noting the Ogallala aquifer region and the risk of sales without continued federal aid. Roberts highlights decades of shaping policy and shifts from direct payments toward risk-based tools as lawmakers trim the bill.

County Deliberates Keeping Youth Agencies Separate
Finney County commissioners heard from Youth Services and Southwest Kansas Regional Juvenile Detention Center leaders and law enforcement, deciding against merging the two agencies. They cited no clear cost savings and praised collaboration potential while noting each agency’s distinct missions. Detention center director Katrina Pollet urged a future one stop shop concept, but authorities favored ongoing separate operations with cooperation. The meeting also approved a $4.7 million hotel project tax abatement, with mixed votes, and announced Ali Burns as new Family and Consumer Sciences agent for the county.
