Northwest Kansas Nixes Cloud Seeding Expansion
The Northwest Kansas Groundwater Management District halted efforts to expand the Scott City based weather modification program into 11 northwestern counties.

The program has operated since 1975 and counties would have funded equipment and an extra radar facility.

AFBF Stands Ground On Price Supports
Washington AP The American Farm Bureau Federation resists further cuts in farm price supports, warning debt for farmers could reach about 60 billion dollars if incomes fall. Bell and Kleckner tout a road map for farm income relief, debt relief for the Farm Credit System, and policy priorities beyond 1990. The group also cites IMF and Baker Plan issues and tax law fixes to aid farmers. The National Milk Producers Federation urges Congress to require clear labeling on frozen meat pizzas using cheese substitutes, following a USDA move away from a standard for cheese content.
