Flood land restoration payments continue in Kansas
Flood land restoration work on Kansas farms is largely complete with government payments authorized by Congress and issued daily by the state PMA office in Manhattan. Wendell Becratt notes the program began after the 1951 floods, with Congress appropriating over 14 million dollars, about 6 million for Kansas. Restorative steps include deep plowing to cover sand deposits, drainage ditch work, reseeding, soil aeration, drying, and nutrient-fortifying fertilizer, often requiring heavy machinery and hired crews.

30 Percent of Kansas Farms Now Tenant Operated
Preliminary results from a Kansas State College survey show only 30 percent of Kansas farms are tenant operated, down from a 45 percent peak in 1940. Wheat regions in Western Kansas have higher tenant rates, while eastern areas like the Kaw River Valley have the fewest tenants.
