AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Kansas Energy & Environment: The Kansas Corporation Commission approved part of Evergy’s 133-mile transmission line but blocked the route crossing U.S. Highway 77 into the Flint Hills, ordering Evergy to rethink that segment after concerns about permanent harm to unique prairie grasslands and impacts to oil and gas operations. State Finance: Moody’s upgraded Kansas’ credit outlook to “positive,” sparking a fresh Capitol debate over who deserves credit for the state’s improved fiscal footing. Agriculture Watch: USDA set April Class III milk at $16.82 per hundredweight, up 66 cents from March, while Kansas wheat streak mosaic remains active in fields as drought conditions worsen in parts of the state. Local Business & Jobs: Boeing and WSU Tech announced a Wichita Workforce Training Center to build an aerospace pipeline, and Midway Coop completed its Lucas elevator acquisition to expand grain and agronomy services. Community Notes: KDHE cleared Salina Central Mall after hail damage, reporting no asbestos detected in samples. Sports & Culture: PGA Tour legend Jim Colbert, known for his bucket hat, died at 85; Kansas City’s Union Cemetery is staging living-history “Historical Epitaphs” tours at the end of May.
