KU students design improved Garden Weasel puller winner named
KU industrial design students spent three months designing a modern weed pulling tool to update the 25 year old Garden Weasel Weed Popper. John Hall won $800 for a device with a foot pedal and tines that grab the weed by the root. The project connected students with Faultless Starch Bon Ami and R2FACT to align with mass production, branding, and market viability.

Douglas County commissioners reached a consensus on new zoning rules to allow agritourism businesses on agricultural land in unincorporated areas with permits from the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and Tourism. The plan would permit ancillary retail sales without full commercial zoning and set building code compliance standards.
