Sunflowers Eye New Role Beyond State Symbol
Kansas experts consider a proposed 1981 farm bill loan rate of 9 dollars per 100 pounds for sunflowers to protect farmers against price declines. With current prices around 12.50 per hundredweight, proponents say the program could broaden sunflowers as an alternative cash crop amid rising irrigation costs and frost-damaged wheat. Kansas has 30,000 to 35,000 acres, while researchers note potential yields matching North Dakota or Texas. The idea aims to provide insurance during market disruptions and may boost interest in sunflowers as a commodity.

Reagan team backs tuition tax credits as aid plan unfolds
The Reagan administration endorsed tuition tax credits to help private education costs while urging Congress to wait until the tax-cut plan passes. Assistant treasury secretary John E. Chapoton highlighted credits as simpler than other federal aid, with eligibility up to 500 for families, and a 2.7 billion 1983 cost rising to about 7 billion yearly by 1986.
