Tax refunds and pond weed control notes for farmers
Farm operators question federal gasoline tax refunds for 1965 to 1966, claiming on the 1966 income tax with credits or refunds. Algae and aquatic weeds in farm ponds are controlled by chemicals like 2,4 D, Silvex, or copper sulfate at 1 ppm, with caveats on taste and fish health. Guidance explains pond volume math for copper sulfate dosing and advises partial pond treatment. Additionally, Kansas State engineers promote shading cattle pens to cut solar exposure, detail shade dimensions and orientations, and cite Arizona tests showing improved weight gain when shade is near feeders.

Wheat Prices Higher Across Kansas Markets
Wheat prices rose across Kansas with Wichita at 1.69, up 48 cents from last year, and statewide markets quoting up to 1.94. A June government report cut expected production by 62 million bushels due to pests, drought, and freezes, while slow delivery to elevators boosted prices in places like Anthony, Wellington, and Arkansas City. Bill Allee of Arkansas City notes only about 10 percent of harvest has reached elevators.
