Wheat parity bill outlined by AAM hopeful in Topeka
AAM spokesman Lee Scheufler urged Kansas legislators to pass a wheat parity bill this session, seeking a minimum price near 70 percent of parity, about $4.87 per bushel. Farmers pressed lawmakers, leading to initial introduction and renewed push despite time constraints. The coalition plans continued talks with Senate and House leaders, legal counsel, and a Saturday workshop at Black Angus in Great Bend to promote action.
