Gov. Bill Graves signed bills moving into effect May 17. The first requires school officials using district credit cards to disclose spending records, triggered by a Haysville case where a senior uncovered up to 16000 dollars a month in charges and prompted a board seat win and a superintendent's dismissal. The second bill creates an emergency plan for contagious animal disease outbreaks like foot and mouth.

Kansas wheat harvest slashes as farmers abandon acres
Kansas farmers abandoned about 1 million acres of hard red winter wheat, with USDA projecting 285.6 million bushels from remaining fields. The state’s 8.4 million harvested acres would be the lowest since 1957, amid drought, high insurance coverage, and shrinking cattle herds. Local farmer Jerry McReynolds described heavy losses, planning to replant some ground in milo and noting insurance gaps.
