predictions that have previously been put out there...he also
responds to suggestions that producers will actually be reaping a
windfall in crop insurance indemnities this year, saying that
perception is way off-base

for which are still being taken


And K-State's Gus van der Hoeven presents "Stop, Look and Listen",
his weekly commentary on rural Kansas
