Wichita, Kan. -- With much of Kansas (click here) under extreme drought conditions it's not surprising the government's first forecast of Kansas' wheat crop predicts the smallest crop since 1996.
The National Agriculture Statistics Service is estimating a Kansas winter wheat harvest of 260.4 million bushels based on May 1st conditions. So that estimate doesn't include this week's scorching two days of record heat.

It is no different than John Roberts. There are going to be something like 17 thousand people dead from lack of health insurance. He did that. He lead a Supreme Court into sentencing innocent Americans to death. This is post 2008 Great Recession. Do these people have no scruples? The USA is just suppose to let people die because their Governors want to play politics. That is suppose to be okay.
