Harvest passes half-way mark in Kansas winter wheat
Kansas farmers harvested 55 percent of the state's winter wheat by Sunday, down from last year and below the five-year average. Kansas Wheat cautions the crop could end nearly 100 million bushels lighter than 2023, as harvest spreads across the state with 99 percent colored. Wallace County marks harvest progress as northwest Kansas lags.

Fireworks Ban Drives Shoppers to Rural Stands
Vendors in Kearny County brace for holiday traffic as Finney and Hamilton counties ban fireworks due to dry conditions. Grant County also restricts sales and discharge. Greg Bribiesca, a longtime dealer from Holcomb now selling near Deerfield along U S Highway 50, hopes the ban shifts customers eastward. Sam Banda, Deerfield, sets up a competing stand nearby.

Fireworks ban cuts income for Finney County sellers
Finney Countywide ban on sale and discharge of fireworks hits local vendors including Extreme Fireworks run by Alan Wildeman. The high heat and dry conditions raise multiple fire risk across southwest Kansas as Garden City and county officials align with the ban, ending the usual June 27 to July 5 sales window and leaving most family operators facing a tough Fourth of July with little or no extra income.

Changes in penalties among DUI revisions
Kansas prosecutors will only look back to July 1 2001 for DUI conviction history and new sentencing rules take effect July 1. Fines rise and third DUI within 10 years becomes a felony, though it carries the same penalty as a misdemeanor. Interlock devices allow restricted licenses for drivers needing to operate vehicles.
