Popular farm bill gains boost amid reform promises
Congressional negotiators reach a draft farm bill balancing subsidies with new income caps. The measure would cut direct payments, cap subsidies above set incomes, expand nutrition programs, boost dairy and crop supports, fund disaster relief, fund Chesapeake Bay cleanup, and add state provisions. Senator Lugar criticizes the bill for expanding spending.
Kansans split on new farm bill and direct payments
Kansas Democrats backed the farm bill while Republicans warned cuts to direct payments and crop insurance would hurt farmers. Moran cited 313 million in direct payment cuts and 5.7 billion in crop insurance reductions as concerns, while Moore praised the bill as a sensible compromise aiding nutrition programs and farm aid.

Police deny racial profiling in traffic stop case
Garcia alleges bias after a stop in which a license plate linked to an Emporia man with warrants was used. Grisell disputes the claim, saying Garcia wasn’t profiled and officers followed policy, though a female searcher wasn’t available. The commission has 10 days to rule on the city’s appeal.
