Incentives for downtown Garden City loft renovations debated
Garden City officials approved an incentive plan to encourage second story renovations into apartments or lofts. Owners may receive rewards up to 10 000 dollars per year for 10 units plus free utility hookups funded by a 2007 2008 budget. The program aims to boost residential occupancy on upper floors and spur downtown revitalization along Garden City Avenue between Stevens and Walnut Streets.

Harvest Progress Mixed Across Kansas Circuits
Custom wheat cutters remain scarce in the Oberlin area risking a two week delay in harvest. Grain quality in Oberlin reports test weights 59 to 64 pounds per bushel with 40 to 70 bushels per acre. Concordia yields run about 35 bushels per acre while Kiowa area lags with 500000 bushels collected versus the 4 million typical. Rain has slowed field work and kept Kiowa elevators quieter. Robert Johnson and Alan Meyers note crop is better than expected but uneven across districts.

Harvest custom crews cut fields for hire across borders
North Island New Zealand crew leader Chesterman and 40 international workers cut crops from sunrise to midnight, joining Altendorf Harvesting with 23 combines. Finney and Gray County producer Steve Irsik notes hiring internationals boosts efficiency while the Irsik family maintains a 50 year custom harvesting tie with the Davensport/Davenport operation in Oklahoma. Felix Enzler of Switzerland joins the multinational crew, saying long hours are manageable and learning comes from the field.
