Audit details budget shortfall and grain elevator enforcement
The audit finds good practices but uncovers enforcement gaps in Kansas agriculture. Brady Grain elevators in Norton and Phillips counties avoided action after 2002 quality problems, causing over 400000 dollars in losses. Oberlin Milling faced repeated crusted and insect infested grain with 2002 evidence, leading to a 20000 dollar farmer loss after bankruptcy. Miller Grain in Salina faced 2001 issues with 200000 dollars in losses. Secretary Polansky seeks clearer authority to sample grain and to assign sampling costs, while budget shortfalls may prompt fee increases affecting smaller elevators and coops.
