Kansas Chief Justice Robert E. Davis warned that legislative budget cuts could shut statewide courts up to 30 days next year and force furloughs for 1,589 nonjudicial employees if lawmakers do not approve additional funds in January. He said failure to resolve the issue quickly could trigger five furlough days per month through June 30, 2010.

Winter wheat forecast down nationwide amid drought and freeze
Nationwide winter wheat production expected at 1.5 billion bushels, a 20 percent drop from last year, based on 34 million acres with 44 bushels per acre. Kansas, the top producer, sees only a 4 percent drop as cool wet weather aided recovery and April freezes spared mature wheat. Texas and Oklahoma suffered major losses from drought and a spring freeze, while southern Kansas was touched by the cold. Wet conditions hinder spring wheat planting as regions race to plant before mid May.
