The US Department of Agriculture extended the emergency grazing cutoff to November 10 for Conservation Reserve Program acres. Kansas FSA director Bill Fuller notes haying remains open until September 30. The extension aids livestock producers affected by drought, easing grazing pressure on native grasslands and aiding recovery. Counties in Kansas approved for grazing include Cherokee to Woodson, with a Meet the Candidate event set for October 9 in Hugoton hosted by local Farm Bureau and Republican Committee.
