WICHITA — A new report shows the condition of the Kansas winter wheat crop is declining. The National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that 44 percent of the state’s wheat is in poor or very poor shape. Another 43 percent rated as fair.

The deterioration of the Kansas wheat crop comes amid a drought that has left 70 percent of the state’s topsoil moisture supplies considered short or very short. Kansas farmers have also begun seeding corn with 2 percent now planted.

The Senate’s GOP leaders favored a plan to phase in a $274 million increase over the same five years. They argued that the bigger plan approved early Sunday and sent to…
Younger participants in Saturday’s Little Apple Pride celebration at City Park may take for granted that the event was held for its ninth year. But one Manhattan born-and-raised resident remembers a time when such a day of public festivities would’ve been fantasy. “I came out as gay in 1976 at the age of 19, right here in Manhattan — I was born over here across the street,” Kevin Stilley said. “To think of something like this going on then — yeah, not even on the radar. So to see young people able to come out an be themselves in a safe…
