Western Kansas is grain country now, but it used to be awash with watermelon. An interesting ag story by my KNS colleague, Calen Moore of @hppr hppr.org/hppr-news/2024…
A quick look at the race for the 2nd District in Kansas, which has an open seat for the first time since it was redrawn in 2022, w/ @ZIrwinator kansaspublicradio.org/statehouse-new…
Kansas City is expected to get over 100 degrees today. At @kcur we put together a guide to what cooling centers, pools and other refuges are available this summer — please pass along. kcur.org/health/2024-06…
Kansas lawmakers approve massive incentives to attract the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals kmuw.org/2024-06-18/kan…
My first feature for the Kansas News Service came out today! Successfully convinced my editor to keep the outro music. “Kansas Democrats hope to end the GOP supermajority, with abortion and LGBTQ issues at stake” kcur.org/politics-elect…
Did you get that text about the Chiefs? It’s part of a plan to recruit the team to Kansas @ksnewsservice #ksleg kansaspublicradio.org/statehouse-new…
