Stipulation in budget delays smoking prevention funds
A state budget provision could block $500,000 for smoking prevention pending a federal match.

Hesston plant outlook cushions farm downturn impact
Hay and Forage Industries plans no layoffs at its Hesston facility despite weak farm economy, as AGCO Corp moves production from Independence Missouri. About 316 hourly workers face severance totaling 6275,000 spread over two waves by June and July, with up to 100 engineers joining Hesston. The consolidation follows AGCO's 1997 acquisition of Hay and Forage, with future expansion and plant additions projected at Hesston.
