Cool spring hurts beans corn and sorghum yields in heartland
Kansas State agronomist Dale Fjell notes cool wet conditions replenish soil moisture but slow soybean growth and reduce seed quality. Many fields show poor root development or drown-out in the east, risking over-seeding or replanting while corn stands face similar replant decisions. Sorghum shows leaf purpling from low phosphorus but may recover with warmth, with replanting still possible through early July.

Wheat gluten trade fracas leaves Kansans wary of quota payoff
The Bush administration ended a two year extension for the wheat gluten import quota amid a clash with European dumping. Midwest Grain Products in Atchison faced stock decline as EU competition rose. ITC extended quotas to protect domestic makers, while Washington offered a $40 million payout. Officials crest the policy as monetizing a quota extension, but locals feel hoodwinked and seek future value in new wheat products and ethanol use.
