Wheat tax increase backed by Kansas panel
The interim Agriculture and Livestock Committee in Topeka recommended raising the Kansas Wheat Commission's tax on each bushel from four to a maximum of 10 mills to fund marketing, research at Kansas State University, and dues to U S Wheat Associates. The proposal, supported by wheat growers, requires 1988 Legislature approval and would not force increases on corn, soybeans, or sorghum. The panel also urged cutting each of the four commodity commissions annual state payments from $200,000 to $100,000.

Budget accord too late
Washington AP White House and congressional negotiators reached a two year $75 billion deficit reduction pact. President Reagan planned automatic $23 billion Gramm Rudman cuts by midnight.

The plan trims about $30 billion in fiscal 1988 with $9 billion in new taxes and $14 billion in 1989 funding rules. Pentagon spending would be held to about $285.4 billion this year.
