Sebelius prepares a budget plan, with belt tightening anticipated and forecasts to be reassessed in April. Economic analyst Ernie Goss cautions that a U.S. recession could be milder for Kansas due to farm prices and export advantages.

Fewer Kansas farmers plant winter wheat
The National Agricultural Statistics Service estimates 9.9 million acres seeded in Kansas for 2008, down 5 percent from 10.4 million last season. Dusti Fritz of the Kansas Wheat Commission cites crop rotations, wet weather delaying fall planting, and seed shortages after last year’s poor crop as reasons. Wheat prices rose after the report, with production unresolved as frost and disease affected prior yields.
