Parkinson set to begin wheat harvest tour
Topeka ? Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson and state Agriculture Secretary Josh Svaty planned to make their annual wheat harvest tour on Monday.
This year’s event was scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. Monday at the farm of Mark and Marne Hewitt south of Beloit, in north-central Kansas.
The tour typically involves the governor getting on a combine, cutting a few swaths of wheat and talking to farmers about the harvest.
This is Parkinson’s second harvest as governor. Last year’s event was held at a farm in the Colby area.
