Fire consumes acres of uncut wheat on Harlich Road
Flames swept across uncut wheat and spilled toward a farmhouse on Harlich Road as thunderstorms moved in. Neighbors and Gray County Rural Fire Department helped battle the blaze, with ten to fifteen residents assisting. Winds kept the fire from exploding, aided by light rain, and crews had it under control by 9 20 p.m. with no major spread expected.

Wheat harvest slows with rain and heavy soil delays
Kansas wheat farmers report slow harvest due to rain and dense clay soils in Gray County. Rained-out days cut cutting, wheat can lay down hindering combines. Yet yields remain strong with dryland output among the best in years across Haskell, Finney, and neighboring counties. Farmers note test weights 62 to 65 pounds per bushel and 65 to 75 bushels per acre in some areas. Harvest progress varies by county, with several regions under 40 to 70 percent complete as rain disrupts operations.

Kansas lawmakers criticize the Brownback administration as the state budget shows chronic shortfalls. They cite tax cuts and optimistic revenue projections that forced sweeps from transportation, corrections and the Children's Initiatives Fund to cover a growing deficit. Officials note ongoing budget pressures and compare Kansas to other states with fiscal strain.
