Winter wheat crop now half planted in Cheyenne County
Cheyenne County reports over half of the winter wheat crop planted, possibly exceeding 190000 acres, per Extension Agent Ken Sakurada. Planting began primarily in early September as soil moisture allows, with risks tied to too-early planting depleting fall moisture and too-late planting increasing winter kill risk.

Conflict of Interest Raised at Sidney Planning Hearing
At a public hearing on Sidney's amended comprehensive plan a question of possible conflicts of interest among Planning Commission and City Council members was raised by attorney Roy Hahn representing landowner Arlo Jones. The dispute centers on the Jones Addition land near 11th Ave and a proposed Leo Esenberg & Co shopping center. The commission voted to approve the future land use map, while Jones seeks rezoning and asks that the land be kept residential until ruled. Jones claims several officials may be biased in matters involving the shopping center and future development.
