The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom:

Texas leads the nation in converting farms to urban land which means fewer young people are growing up on small and midsize family farms in Texas than a generation ago. But in one Dallas neighborhood, farming is alive and well.

And a city study looks into the state of Dallas roads.

You can listen to the top local news stories weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
