Rain brings cautious optimism for Wheat in Kansas
In Hamilton and nearby counties farmers wait for more rainfall as scattered showers offer brief relief. Ag officials note dry pockets persist with subsoil moisture low, while Scott County records 4.77 inches this year and farmers hope the moisture will head and fill crops in the crucial growing period. Weather outlook from Western Kansas Weather Modification suggests continued chances of showers through the weekend, then potential dryness. Local growers urge patience as heat and wind drain moisture.

Revenue woes loom as Garden City eyes tax risk
Garden City faces a possible $700,000 annual setback in sales tax revenue if the 1994 measure expires. Finance Director Melinda Hitz warns voters may trigger an automatic property tax hike in 2004 or 2005 to cover shortfalls, as 2003 budget taps into reserves and staffing cuts loom.
