House spending bill could delay meat safety overhaul
The House plan could push back new meat and poultry safety rules by at least two years. Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman warned that negotiated rule making, urged by lawmakers and industry, would likely stall implementation and involve industry, inspectors, and consumer groups in drafting a revised plan.

Dry spell shifts Kansas farmers to soybean and grain sorghum planting
With hot, dry weather, Anderson and Franklin county farmers focus on planting soybeans and grain sorghum as wheat harvest slows. Elevators report light wheat receipts, test weights around 56-57 pounds, moisture near 14-15 percent, and variable yields from 9 to 20 bushels per acre amid concerns over topsoil moisture and kernel quality.

Weaker yields loom as rain could cut wheat test weights
Weighing on farmers: better varieties show higher weights but rain now could push yields and test weights further below average. Field access occurred over the past week end, with 5.3 days suitable for field work statewide. Soybeans planted 35 percent, grain sorghum at 48 percent, compared to last year’s 95 percent in both cases. Wheat price rose 10 cents to $3.99, corn and grain sorghum up three cents to $2.71, soybeans steady at $5.71.
