Kansas Reclaims Wheat State Title After Record Harvest
Kansas farmers harvested a 472 million bushel wheat crop in 1990, solidifying the Wheat State claim ahead of North Dakota. Yields averaged 40 bushels per acre, with corn and soybeans also boosted though sorghum declined amid drought. Nationally, Kansas faces tougher competition from the Dakotas and Minnesota.

Juvenile detention plan questioned by local officials
Riley and Barton counties protested a consultant proposal to locate new regional juvenile detention centers far from their counties. Testifying before the Advisory Commission on Juvenile Offender Programs, officials from six counties and several cities argued the plan would raise costs and that county groupings into six regions made little sense. The Westridge Group recommended centers in Lawrence, Girard, Salina, Hutchinson, Garden City and WaKeeney, with six large counties already operating their own facilities. The commission, led by Sen. Nancy Parrish, planned to send the report back for refinements.
