Ag Day celebrates Kansas farmers and ranchers - Grass and ...

24
One day each year, this nation cele- brates the industry that keeps Americans fed and clothed. National Agriculture Day, traditionally falls on the first day of Spring. Kansas commodity groups, in- cluding Kansas Wheat, ushered in Agri- culture Day in Topeka on March 19 with a luncheon of Kansas-based foods for legis- lators and staff. The goal of Agriculture Day is to remind consumers the impor- tant role that farmers and ranchers play in feeding and clothing Americans. In an address to legislators attending the luncheon, Adrian Polansky, Kansas Sec- retary of Agriculture, commended Kan- sas farmers and ranchers’ $14.4 billion contribution to the state’s economy in 2007. Kansas produces more wheat, grain sorghum and beef than any state in the nation and ranks sixth in farm product exports, valued at $3.8 billion in 2007. Moreover, one in every five Kansans is employed in a job related to farming or food production. “It’s important that once a day we recognize agriculture and reaf- firm to legislators and really the state of Kansas that agriculture is the foundation of our economy. There are new and excit- ing times ahead, whether talking about food, fuels, or science area,” Polansky says. Senator Derek Schmidt, who repre- sents District 15 in southeast Kansas, says recognizing the role that farmers and ranchers play in the state’s economy is vital, especially as more Kansans are fur- ther removed from their rural and agri- cultural roots. “For those of us who represent rural communities and care passionately pas- sionate about Kansas and small towns — and as former chair of the Ag Committee I fit in that category — this sort of atten- tion brought to remind folks where we all come from and how important rural areas of agriculture still are to our economy, to our culture and to raising the next gener- ation of folks. It’s just a story worth telling and the more we tell it the better off we’ll be,” Schmidt explains. For Smith County farmers Theron and Lori Haresnape, who attended the Ag Day festivities with their three children, Kansas Ag Day provided an opportunity to share with legislators the reality of today’s farming economy. “With uncertainties of the economy, they are interested in how things are going on out there. It’s an honor to be able to tell them how we feel and they seem very interested,” Theron Haresnape says. About 200 Kansas legislators and staff participated in the Ag Day luncheon, which was held in the Dillon House near the State Capitol Building, due to renova- tions inside the Capitol. Each visitor re- ceived a wealth of information about the Kansas agriculture industry, including handouts from Kansas Wheat, the Kansas Beef Council, Kansas Pork Association, Kansas Grain Sorghum Commission, Kansas Corn Commissions, Kansas Cotton Association, Kansas Soybean Commis- sion, Kansas Sunflower Commission, Kansas Farmers Union, Kansas Depart- ment of Commerce and Kansas Farm Bu- reau, each of whom co-sponsored the event. The Ag Day luncheon was one com- ponent of Kansas Agriculture Week, pro- claimed as such by Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius for March 15-21. Grass & Grain, March 31, 2009 Page 17 COMM. CO. INC.

When rating fuels on thebasis of their carbon con-tent, biofuels should not besingled out and artificiallydegraded for so-called “in-direct effects,” according tothe American Farm BureauFederation.

In a letter to CaliforniaGov. Arnold Schwarzeneg-ger, AFBF President BobStallman called for a “levelplaying field” in the devel-opment of that state’s LowCarbon Fuel Standard(LCFS). The LCFS requiresoil companies to reduce thecarbon sold in fuels in thestate by 10 percent by 2020.Under the proposal, allfuels are assigned a “carbonscore” to reward the leastcarbon-intensive fuels. Butonly biofuels are being sin-gled out for so-called “indi-rect effects” which raise thecarbon score. As a result,

fossil fuels would receive abetter carbon score and acompetitive advantage overrenewable biofuels.

The proposed standardwas originally intended toallow all eligible fuels tocompete without bias. Bio-fuels play an important rolein lessening the nation’s de-pendence on foreign oil.But the California Air Re-sources Board (CARB) isproposing to enforce a bi-ased carbon penalty againstbiofuels, thereby increasingthe carbon score of thesefuels by 40 percent or more.

The penalty against bio-fuels produced from U.S.crops is based on the faultyconcept of “indirect landuse change,” which holdsthat for every acre of landused to produce corn forethanol, another acre ofland must be put into pro-

duction to replace it. AFBFcontends that model isproblematic because thescience of predicting indi-rect, economically derivedcarbon effects is both newand uncertain. The modelalso does not offer a reason-able justification for en-forcing economically de-rived carbon effects againstonly one type of fuel.

Opposition to theCARB proposal has beenstrong and wide. Severalstakeholder groups, includ-ing 111 scientists who sub-mitted a letter to the gover-nor’s office, are recom-mending that CARB adoptan LCFS regulation basedonly on emissions directlyattributable to the produc-tion and use of the particu-lar fuel.

Noting that the pro-posed standard penalizes

only biofuels for indirecteffects, Stallman agreedwith the 111 scientists whosaid, “Enforcing differentcompliance metrics againstdifferent fuels is the equiv-alent of picking winnersand losers, which is in di-rect conflict with the ambi-tion of the LCFS.”

Stallman noted that theagricultural community iseager to play a central rolein the increased use of bio-fuels, but warned, “Ifadopted as currently pro-posed, the LCFS will uni-formly dissuade the pro-duction and use of all formsof biofuels that utilize landand undercut what is atremendous opportunity tospur economic growth inagricultural communitiesand reduce carbon emis-sions with American farm-ing.”

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Anew report says Nebraskafarmland values haveplateaued in the last yearafter several years ofgains.Preliminary figures

from a Nebraska FarmReal Estate Market Surveyreleased Thursday showedthat Nebraska farmlandwas worth, on average,$1,424 per acre as of Feb. 1.That’s identical to the aver-age value in last year’s finalreport, which set an all-time high.Agricultural economist

Bruce Johnson says thisyear’s report shows landvalues responding to theeconomic downturn.Johnson notes that dur-

ing the first nine months of

the year, land values con-tinued to increase as cropcommodity prices rose.But as commodity prices

turned down in the lastpart of 2008, so did land val-ues.

It won’t be long until thefirst succulent spears of as-paragus are cut from thestalk.

Asparagus is always awelcome sight in earlyspring as a first opportunityfor a fresh vegetable straightfrom the garden.

“It is important to knowhow to prepare and storefresh asparagus for the besttaste and maximum fresh-ness,” said Tammy Roberts,nutrition and health educa-tion specialist with Universi-ty of Missouri Extension.

When purchasing freshasparagus, Roberts says tolook for firm, crisp stalkswith compact brightly col-ored closed tips.

“The best way to storefresh asparagus is in the re-frigerator upright in a drink-ing glass or jar filled withabout an inch of water. Placea plastic bag loosely aroundthe top. It should last three to

four days stored in this way,”said Roberts.

Most people prefersteaming as the cookingmethod for asparagus but itcan also be boiled or cookedin the microwave.

Some people like to wrapa string around the asparagusand tie it in a bundle beforecooking to make it easier toremove from the pan.

“The asparagus is cookedwhen the stalks are tenderbut still firm. Avoid over-cooking asparagus as itwill cause it to lose flavor,color and nutrients,” saidRoberts.

To cook asparagus in themicrowave, place it in a mi-crowave safe dish with thetips pointed toward the cen-ter. Add one-quarter to one-half cup water and cover itwith a lid or microwave-safeplastic wrap. It takes five toseven minutes to cook.

Asparagus can be served

cold or hot.“If you are going to serve

it cold, dip it in to cold waterto stop the cooking processas soon as the asparagus istender. People who like as-paragus cold often top itwith a dressing or mustardsauce,” said Roberts.

If a person has an overabundance and wants tofreeze asparagus, Robertssays to wash the spears, sortthem according to size andtrim the stalks. Blanch smallspears for two minutes,medium spears for threeminutes and large spears forfour minutes.

Remove from boilingwater and dip immediatelyinto ice water for two min-utes. Promptly drain, placeinto containers, seal andfreeze.

“It should be good for upto nine months in the freez-er,” said Roberts.

Asparagus is low in calo-ries. A one-half cup servingcontains only 22 calories. Itis also a good source of folicacid, vitamin C and B6. Formore information on nutri-tion issues, go online tohttp://extension.missouri.edu or contact Tammy Robertsat (417) 682-3579.

Asparagus is a perennialthat provides one of thefirst vegetables harvestedfrom the garden each sea-son. Best of all, once aplanting is established, itwill last for many years,perhaps a lifetime.That longevity is why va-

riety selection and carefulbed preparation are impor-tant according to Jay Chism,agronomy specialist, Uni-versity of Missouri Exten-sion.“Asparagus is a dioe-

cious plant, meaning thesexes are on separateplants. The female plantproduces larger spears butalso produces seeds whichbecome ‘weeds’ in the gar-den,” said Chism. “Becauseof research and breedingprograms, there are severalimproved varieties of as-paragus from which tochoose now.”Examples of older vari-

eties such as Mary Washing-ton, Waltham or Robertsonce were good but havesince been replaced by im-proved and more produc-tive all male varieties suchas Apollo, Jersey Knight,

Jersey Giant, Jersey Queen,Jersey Deluxe and JerseyGem.Asparagus grows best in

fertile, well-drained soilthat is high in organic mat-ter.“I recommend putting

asparagus at the edge orside of the garden where itwon’t be in the way of gar-den activities. Be sure toloosen the soil about a footdeep and incorporate well-rotted manure or compostto increase the drainageand organic matter,” saidChism.Large, one-year-old

crowns are recommendedfor planting. Prepare ashallow trench no deeperthan six inches and spacethe crowns 12 to 18 inchesapart in the row. Then light-ly cover the crown with soiland gradually fill in the fur-row as shoots emerge.Never completely bury thedeveloping asparagus fern.MU Extension guide

To The Editor:Recent headlines have

called to attention severebudget cuts to higher educa-tion. In Manhattan, manyresidents are concernedabout what this will mean tocolleagues, friends and stu-dents at Kansas State Uni-versity. Across the state, thisis of considerable concern.As the Land Grant institu-tion, K-State has a missionunlike any other; to take theUniversity to the People.Every county in Kansas isserved by an extension pro-gram by virtue of county ordistrict extension units. Ofthe proposed cuts in stategeneral fund dollars, 30%would come from K-StateResearch & Extension.K-State Research and

Extension provides knowl-edge for life on a wide vari-ety of topics. In RileyCounty, more than 500youth participate in 4-H, in-cluding after-school pro-grams that serve a very tran-sient population. This maybe the only exposure to 4-Hthat youth will have duringtheir short time in the com-munity. The life skills aboutcitizenship, healthy eating,money management orplant science will last a life-time. The volunteer incometax assistance programhelped residents earningless than $42,000 completetax returns this past year.Those clients now have abetter understanding of tax-ation, and have either paidowed taxes or received re-funds. Volunteers helpedtax payers collect more than$330,000 in refunds andpay more than $15,000 in

tax liabilities. Nutrition ed-ucation for vulnerable pop-ulation touches all ages,from children and youngmothers to seniors with spe-cial dietary needs. The in-creasing cost of health carehas made this more than aquality of life issue, but aneconomic responsibility forall of us to make wise foodchoices. And the people andprograms of K-State Re-search and Education aremeeting that challengeevery day.Currently, 174 teams

comprised of 1022 peoplehave committed to beingactive and healthier eatingthrough Extension’s WalkKansas program. Our seniorpopulation has been servedthrough Medicare educationto assist them in making de-cisions about the best plansfor their needs. Riley Coun-ty residents are served byMaster Gardeners who havebeautified the area aroundthe county shops and edu-cated youth about safe lawnmowing practices.Money management and

credit education programshave been in tremendousdemand in recent months.K-State has served us and

our neighbors well throughthe Extension programs,staff and countless volun-teers.None of these education-

al activities, based uponsound research, occur oncampus in a classroom. Norwill an increase in tuitionsolve this budget crisis. K-State Research and Exten-sion gets no tuition dollarsto support programming. Itis a partnership of federal,state and local units of gov-ernment. County boards setpriorities for their extensionprograms and work withExtension educators on staffto deliver high-quality pro-gramming in the most urbanof settings as well as the ex-tremely rural corners of thestate. The belt-tighteningbegan in the Extension pro-gram before this crisis.They have seen shrink-

ing budgets and have leftopen vacant positions, com-bined duties, retired pro-grams and reduced travel. Iencourage every personwho has ever been in 4-H,participated in an ExtensionUnit, attended an agricultur-al meeting or county fair, isinvolved in Walk Kansas orhas benefited from the pro-

gramming of your local ex-tension office or state pro-gram specialist to call yourlegislature. Encourage themto minimize the cuts to K-State Research and Exten-sion funding as they pass abudget. Everyone is tighten-ing their budgets and we ex-pect government to be re-sponsible. But let’s not dis-mantle an Extension pro-

gram that takes the Univer-sity to the people. And, Ifear, that’s what will hap-pen.

Letters to the Editor

Page 7: Ag Day celebrates Kansas farmers and ranchers - Grass and ...

I got a phone call lastweek from one of four di-rectors of production on a750,000-acre farm that’slocated 500 miles south ofMoscow. Since we’re cer-tified seed wheat dealers,he was obviously lookingfor seed wheat. In par-ticular, he was looking forsome of the hot new U.S.varieties —things like TAMll2. And for good reason —the varieties they’re usingover there are 60 to 70 yearsold.This farm manager has

been here on our farm inwestern Kansas on severaloccasions. I had lost trackof him till he called. Butwhat a story he’s got to tell!And one thing for sure —we farmers here in the U.S.had better be listening.I think a lot of us have

been lulled into thinkingthat the only serious compe-tition left in the agriculturalworld is down in Brazil orArgentina. Think again.Eastern Europe and espe-cially Russia promise togive us the race of ourlives.No kidding. There are

huge tracts of land for salein Russia. The old collec-tive farms that just simplydidn’t work have in a lotof cases laid idle for l5years and more. And on thecollective farms that didwork, they’ve been cling-ing to financial life dealingwith recent low grain

prices and dwindling cashreserves.The result is that you can

buy all the ground that youcan imagine. “You have noidea how much land we’vebeen offered,” says my ac-quaintance. He works for aSwedish-English invest-ment company. On thefarm, they grow mainlywinter wheat, but also triti-cale, spring barley and sun-flowers, as well as somecorn and sugar beets, for in-stance. And he’s convincedmodern farming and capi-talistic ideas will work inthe former Evil Empire.So are a lot of others.

“There are a lot of big com-panies moving into Russia— and they’re buying land,not renting it. We’ve gotover 20 new John Deerecombines, as well as big 4-wheel drive tractors and 60-foot drills and 36-rowplanters.”And while land is proba-

bly the biggest cost of farm-ing in the U.S., it certainlyisn’t over there. These aresome of the best soils on theplanet — and you can haveall you want for $40/acre.Years ago I read that of

all the places in the worldwhere huge modern farmscould make gigantic andrapid steps forward was inRussia and elsewhere inEastern Europe — on thecollective farms, of allplaces. One of the lastplaces where you’d see

such progress was in West-ern Europe where farmswere much smaller andheavily subsidized.The thinking was that the

collective farms were al-ready huge, but had beensimply hampered by centralplanning and communisteconomics. Remove thoseinefficiencies and replacethem with a desire to makemoney and, well, I guesswe’re getting ready to findout if these ideas willwork.Make no doubt about it,

though, these new foreigninvestor farms clearly havetheir work cut out for them.While they’ve got greatland and very cheap prices,there are other very largeproblems. There is little tono infrastructure. And withwinter wheat, for instance,they are still planting an-tique varieties. Grain mar-kets are poorly developed.And there’s nothing like ourland-grant university or Ex-tension Service to providehelp to farmers.

Some years back I wasin Eastern Europe myselfand will never forget thetrain ride across Poland.We boarded the train onthe eastern side nearRussia and traveled acrossthe entire country to Ger-many on the west. WhenI got off the train, I wasabsolutely dumbfounded atthe incredible and verymuch underused naturalresource of these coun-tries.When I got back to the

U.S., I called Barry Flinch-baugh at K-State and askedhim how much longer itwould be before we had toconfront this. He said itwould be a generation.While they’ve got the re-source, they’ve also got alot of problems.I mentioned that to my

friend. And he said it’s notgoing to take that long. Itwon’t take 25 years. I said,l0 years? And he said,“maybe less.”

In a changing economicclimate, one summeryperennial — summer camp— can still be a bargain, aKansas State UniversityResearch and Extensionyouth development spe-cialist said. Summer campstypically provide personalgrowth and developmentopportunities — and plentyof fun, said Pam Van Horn,a former Franklin County4-H member, veterancamper and, currently, statecoordinator for Kansas´ an-nual 4-H camps.

Camp costs vary withthe length of the camp andthe opportunities offered,she said. This year, for ex-ample, the per-child costfor 4-H camp sessionsranges from $145 to $180.Each includes meals, lodg-ing, and camp activities.Inclusive camp pricinghelps to hold down overallcosts, Van Horn said.

A younger child attend-ing camp for the first timemay benefit from a shortersession that will allow himor her to become more self-confident in managing on

their own, Van Horn said.A well-planned and super-vised camp can provide op-portunities for children tomeet new people, makenew friends, develop newinterests, and try a greatervariety of games and activ-

ities that may become life-long interests. At camp,children also learn to enjoyan environment that isdifferent from the norm,and, in doing so, manywill leave camp feelingmore comfortable with the

larger world, she said. And,as children nurture self-confidence and self-es-teem, parents may notethat, once home, theircamper may also havelearned to be more respon-sible for his or her stuff —and to be on time for

meals or other activities,Van Horn said.

Kansas´ 4-H camps areprimarily based at the Rock

Springs 4-H Center southof Junction City. Sessionsare open to 4-H membersages 8 to 12 and plannedas an extension of skill-building 4-H youth devel-opment programs. Thisyear, a camp for tweens,ages 12-14, who are tooold for traditional campbut not old enough to becamp counselors, also isplanned. Titled Campfer-

ence, the program com-bines traditional camp ac-tivities with mini-profes-sional development ses-sions to help teens nurtureself-confidence.

More information onKansas 4-H camps is avail-able from county and dis-trict K-State Research andExtension offices and onthe 4-H website: www.Kansas4-H.org.

In tight times, kids’ camp still a plus for families

Alan and Ben Giger of Elmdale spent some time in thepens of bulls on display at the Hinkson Ranch recently.The pair studied the information and were successful inmaking a purchase in the Hinkson family’s annual pro-duction sale held on St. Patrick’s Day.

Page 18: Ag Day celebrates Kansas farmers and ranchers - Grass and ...

Last week’s grain tradewas mostly corrective in na-ture. We had a good runhigher and the marketswere overbought, so wewere due for a setback. Thecorn held on the best onlylosing about 9 cents thisweek. Expectations are for

lower corn acreage (84.5million), which is very sup-portive to the market andexport demand for most ofthe past two months hasbeen good. Last week’s ex-port sales were back over 1MMT and with sales likethat, one really has to won-

der why the USDA loweredthe export estimate in lastmonth’s report.

We also have the quar-terly stocks report out thisweek and I will be very cu-rious to see those numbers.Ethanol production hasbeen a little better than ex-pected, so it will be inter-esting to see how much cornhas disappeared in the pastquarter. If we have less cornthan expected we can ex-pect to see improved de-mand numbers in the Aprilsupply and demand report.

The wheat didn’t fair toowell last week. The hugewinter storm that we are ex-periencing is expected tobring some much needed

moisture in the HRW re-gion. There has been a greatdeal of wind with the snow,so it is questionable howmuch good the snow will dothe wheat. We shall see. Itwill be interesting to see ifwe have any changes in thedrought monitor over thenext few weeks. Acreage isexpected to be lower in thewheat, but that is no sur-prise since we have alreadyseen that in the WinterWheat Seedings report,however we will have tolook at the spring wheatacreage numbers to see ifthere is a reduction there aswell. The soybeans lostquite a bit of ground lastweek after a pretty strongstart. Like the other mar-kets the soybeans wereoverbought and due for acorrection. There is also thefear of a large increase inacres which weighs on themarket. The high tradeguess calls for 81.5 millionacres of soybeans, an in-crease of 5.8 million. Thatwould be extremely bearish

to the market if that hap-pens and that is the biggestfear of the bulls right now.

Soybean export saleswere good at 428,800 MT. Wehear talk that suggests theChinese demand is going tostop at any time, but ithasn’t happened yet. Anoth-er good thing is that soy-bean oil sales were a mar-keting year high and nextweek’s report should bevery good too. An increasein crush would do a lot tohelp keep our stocks undercontrol.

Something interesting

that I noticed in last week’sCommitment of Traders re-port was that the net longIndex Fund position in-creased significantly in thecorn, wheat, and soybeansthis week. The Index fundin Kansas City wheat is thelargest it has been sinceJuly. It is something wehave to keep an eye on be-cause some steady invest-ment in the grains wouldprovide some much neededsupport.

The key to next week willof course be the ProspectivePlantings report. It will

SchwietermanMarket Outlook

A marketing commentary by Bret Crotts

Brian Dettke of Marysville was in front of Dettke Farms’Polled Hereford bull and female consignments beforethe Northeast Kansas Hereford Sale at Manhattan.

Page 19: Ag Day celebrates Kansas farmers and ranchers - Grass and ...

Kansans who experiencepower outages related tothe severe weather shouldassess the safety of their re-frigerated and frozen foodsbefore consuming them.

“The power can getknocked out any time ofyear, and it can cake any-where from a few hours toseveral days for it to be re-stored,” said Steve Moris,manager of the Kansas De-partment of Agriculture’sfood safety program. “With-out electricity or a coldsource, foods stored in re-frigerators and freezers canbecome unsafe. Bacteria infood grow rapidly at tem-peratures between 41° and135°F, and consuming bacte-ria-laden foods can makeyou sick.”

Steps to follow to pre-pare for a possible weatheremergency:

Keep an appliance ther-mometer in the refrigeratorand freezer. An appliancethermometer will indicatethe temperature in the re-frigerator and freezer incase of a power outage andhelp determine the safety ofthe food. Make sure thefreezer is at 0°F or belowand the refrigerator is at40ºF or below.

Freeze containers ofwater for ice to help keepfood cold in the freezer, re-frigerator or coolers afterthe power is out. Freeze re-frigerated items such asleftovers, milk and freshmeat and poultry that youmay not need immediately.This will help keep them ata safe temperature longer.Plan ahead and know wheredry ice and block ice can bepurchased. Have coolers onhand to keep refrigeratorfood cold if the power willbe out for more than fourhours. Purchase or make

ice cubes and store in thefreezer for use in the refrig-erator or in a cooler. Freezegel packs ahead of time foruse in coolers. Group foodtogether in the freezer. Itwill help food stay coldlonger.

Steps to follow after theweather emergency: Keepthe refrigerator and freezerdoors closed as much aspossible to maintain thecold temperature.

A full freezer will hold

the temperature for approx-imately 48 hours (24 hours ifit is half full) and the doorremains closed. Discard re-frigerated perishable foodsuch as meat, poultry, fish,soft cheeses, milk, eggs, left-overs and deli items afterfour hours without power.Food may be safely re-frozen if it still contains icecrystals or is at 40°F orbelow when checked with afood thermometer.

Obtain dry or block ice to

keep your refrigerator andfreezer as cold as possibleif the power is going to beout for a prolonged periodof time. Fifty pounds of dryice should hold an 18-cubic-foot full freezer for twodays. If the power has beenout for several days, checkthe temperature of thefreezer with an appliancethermometer. If the appli-ance thermometer reads40°F or below, the food issafe to refreeze.

likely dictate directionuntil at least the April Sup-ply and Demand report andprobably longer. There is agood chance we will needmore than 84.5 of corn andwe definitely don’t need81.5 million acres of soy-beans, so it will be interest-ing to see what happens.Buying corn puts on Mon-day would be a good shortterm strategy, just in casethe corn number is higherthan expected. The wheat isheaded for a test of theMarch low, but look for a re-covery next week unless wehave a disaster in the corn.The bull spreads are start-ing to correct in the soy-beans, so look for a pullback there.

The cattle had anotherdisappointing week, butwhat is new. There was atiny bit of cash cattle tradeat $83, so it looks like cattlefeeders were going to waituntil next week to do busi-ness. It was a little surpris-ing that the cattle didn’thave a better reaction tothe blizzard, but it is sort oflike the wheat market. Inthe wheat we could use acrop disaster to control sup-ply and the cattle marketneeds a blizzard to knock

off some weight. The JuneLC are within 50 cents to adollar of finding support, sobeing an aggressive sellerhere probably won’t paywell. However, we still haveto look at strength as a sell-ing opportunity.

Broccoli is good for youand will more likely geteaten when grown at home.Fortunately, everyone in ourfamily will eat broccoli.Now is the time to get thespring crop planted. It canalso be planted in early Au-gust for a fall harvest.This is one of my fa-

vorite vegetable crops togrow because it is very pro-ductive. After the main headis harvested, it will continueto produce side heads thatcan be harvested. Use widespacing of up to 3 feet if youwant to harvest large centralheads. Closer spacing willproduce smaller centralheads. But if you harvestsecondary heads you willget a greater total yield fromthe closer spacing.Select short and stocky

broccoli plants that havefour or five true leaves forplanting. Larger, oldertransplants are more likelyto bolt when exposed tocool temperatures in thegarden. Some cultivars willform small "button" headswhen the weather turnswarm following a 10-day

stretch when high tempera-tures only reach the 40s.At transplanting, use a

cup of liquid fertilizer thatcontains phosphorus to getthem off to a quick start.Too much nitrogen fertilizermay cause hollow stems.Plants have shallow

roots. Use mulch or handweeding verse cultivation.They like moist and well-drained soil. Give the cropone inch of water per weekwhen rainfall is lacking. Beparticularly generous withwater as the head starts todevelop. Fertilizer appliedwill produce a large plantand a larger head. Sprinkleadditional fertilizer afterplanting along the rowevery 2-3 weeks as the cropdevelops. Well-manuredgardens or soil with addedcompost will need lessadded fertilizer.Full sun is best for quick

growth. It will grow in partsun but will take longer tomature. Green Comet is thequickest at around 40 days.Packman takes 50 to 73days. Premium Crop is along one at 62 to 82 days.

The imported cabbageworm and occasionally thecabbage looper will wanttheir share of the harvest.You can observe these cater-pillars feeding on the under-side of the leaves and in thebroccoli head. Several in-secticides can be used suchas Bacillus thuringiensis orspinosad. I use a barriercalled a floating row coverto keep the butterflies frombeing able to lay theireggs.Planting now, one can

expect to begin harvestingin mid to late June and July.

Harvest the florets whenthey are tight and have agood green color. Once thebuds start to open and yel-low appears, it is getting latefor harvest.

Tree and shrub orders are running ahead of last year’space for the Kansas Forest Service’s 2009 ConservationTree Planting Program.“Folks must be expecting a good planting season,”

said Bill Loucks, long-time KFS conservation forester.The approved uses for the low-cost seedlings are all

recognized ways to protect natural resources and/or slowdown global warming, Loucks said. “All things beingequal, conservation plantings are also a relatively low-cost way to ‘go green,’” he said. “A well-placed, estab-lished windbreak can reduce the amount of energy youneed to cool or heat your house or remove snow. It can re-duce the cost of feeding cattle. By a river or stream, plant-ings can not only increase bank stability — even duringflooding — but also filter runoff and keep the watercleaner.”Other approved uses include field windbreaks, wildlife

habitat, woodlots and Christmas trees.“You just need a conservation purpose. These

seedlings aren’t for landscaping,” Loucks said.The year’s program offerings include one- or two-

year-old seedlings that are eight to 14 inches tall, de-pending on species. They’re sold in one-variety bundlesof 25, and the following choices are still available: 20species of bare-root deciduous trees, nine of bare-root de-ciduous shrubs, six of bare-root evergreen trees, and fourof container-grown evergreens. Other low-cost productson sale for 2009 include both pecan and black walnutseeds, as well as pre-selected species in four types of bun-dles designed to attract and benefit songbirds, pheasant,quail or nut-eating wildlife. For the first time, the pro-gram also has vented, translucent polyethylene tubes de-signed to protect young deciduous trees from deer dam-age.“Weather permitting, we start shipping in early March,

although we keep taking orders through early May. Theideal planting season is usually mid-March through mid-April.,” Loucks said. “You can pick up your order at the

state KFS office in Manhattan or have it delivered to yourhome by UPS.” Kansans can place orders on the KFSwebsite (www.kansasforests.org). Order forms, pricesheets, and program brochures are available in everycounty and district K-State Research and Extension of-fice, all Kansas Conservation District offices, and thestate’s local USDA Natural Resources ConservationService offices.

Page 22: Ag Day celebrates Kansas farmers and ranchers - Grass and ...

Here are three respons-es I received about an arti-cle I wrote comparing ourcurrent economic dilemmato the farm crisis of theearly ’80s.

DDeeaarr DDrr.. FFaarrmmeerr,, First Iwould like to let you knowthat you have written manyarticles that I have cut outand saved for the future. I amsure that you have helpedmany people. I always appre-ciate your clear rules andChristian values.

The question I have is inthe “Farm Crisis Comparedto the Mortgage Crisis” article— you made reference toPresident Reagan’s responseto the ATC strike. I was farm-ing then and I remember thecause of the farm crisis to bePresident Carter’s voiding ofthe grain sales contracts withUSSR, and the followingtumble in soybean prices.

Other than that omission,I thought the article was“spot on.” Keep up the goodwork. I look forward to futurearticles.

DDeeaarr SSiirr, I went throughthe ’80s and it wasn’t Rea-

gan’s fault that we had trou-ble in the ’80s. Jimmy Carterand his cohorts had no guts tostand up to the unions thathad driven up prices and in-terest rates. Mr. Volcker whowas in charge of the Fed thenraised interest rates to all-time highs and broke the backof farmers who had madeloans through PCA, another“government boondoggle.”

So you err when you say itwas because Reagan brokethe Air Traffic ControllersUnion that wanted to controlour lives thru higher fees sothat they could rip us off.That was only a small symp-tom and it didn’t affect farm-ers that much. I had friendsthat had overextended them-selves and they had no one toblame but themselves.

Just like the idiots thathave taken out bigger mort-gages on houses they can’t af-ford now and our (profanitydeleted) government wantsus to bail them out. Let thembe on the street awhile andthey will learn their lessonlike we had to in the ’80s.

You never cure the prob-lem unless people learn their

lesson. We will see it again aslong as people let greed getin the way of commonsense. You sir, need to learnsome economic lessons, myfriend.

President Reagan under-stood well that farmers hadover extended themselves andthere was a shakeout. Thestrong survived and theyhave been the backbone of thefuture of agriculture sincethen. Stupid ones are startingto show up again.

DDrr.. ooff WWhhaatt?????? I’m notsure if you’re too young or toodumb, or never lived in themidwest. In reference to yourFarm Crisis of the mid-’80s,your article states “ThenPresident Reagan pierced theinflation bubble by crushingthe air traffic controllersstrike and the economy wentinto a major recession during1981 and 1982.

WHOOOOOOO!! Whereon earth did you get this

tidbit of propaganda or areyou trying to rewrite histo-ry....????

Granted inflation andspeculation was way out ofhand thru 1979 but the dodo-dodo who decided to end in-flation was then chairman ofthe federal reserve Paul Vol-cker. Just his name causesanger and consternation infarm country. Fed interestrates averaged 11.2% in 1979and were raised to a peak of20% in June of 1981. Theprime rate rose to 21.5% aswell in 1981. Today we are at3.5 % prime.

This Volcker cigar smok-ing jackass about killed farmcountry and most small busi-ness with it. You’re a Ph.D.but you don’t know beansabout economics, let alonehistory... Good luck writingabout something else!

I may be too dumb but Iam not too young and I dolive in the midwest. Howrapid devaluation of landvalues in the early ’80s gotstarted is inconsequentialcompared to the fact that itwas fundamentally overval-ued in the first place. Themain point I wanted tomake was the combinationof easy credit and lax cred-it standards coupled withenticing “too good to betrue” inflation of property

values was at the core ofthe problem.

Whether it was the mid-’80s or now, debt was beingpromoted as an investmentstrategy and increased val-uations would cover therisk. It is easy to make mis-takes when conventionalwisdom says, “Take advan-tage of this opportunity toget ahead,” and the moneyto do it is so available.Lenders awash with moneyto loan, loaned it.

In our current situation,very few people understoodthe greater danger of howthe financial services andinvestment industry, in alax regulatory environ-ment, packaged these faultyloans, insured them andsold them to investorsworldwide. Bad credit mas-querading as good creditmagnified the painthroughout the global econ-omy. We are dealing with fi-nancial and insurance cor-porations “too big to fail”and everyone is paying theprice.

Our economy is quitefragile and has started intoa downward spiral. In un-certain times, people pullback, conserve and liqui-date debt. Consumer spend-ing shrinks. Jobs are lost.More people default ondebt. It’s a vicious cycle

that is the mirror oppositeof the “irrational exuber-ance” of a bubble economy.

The jolting take homemessage in this is to livewithin our means, to becareful about debt, and tobe prepared for a “rainyday.” Some day in the dis-tant future when memoryfades, easy credit and sure-fire investments will temptus again. It’s happened be-fore and it will happenagain.

Are you being treated fairly by your mineral supplier?All customers are aware of the explosive increase in the cost of minerals fromFebruary thru November of 2008. There are a number of reasons for this: Cost oftransportation of inbound ingredients and outbound finished products, vitaminsand trace minerals have increased in price and salt has also taken a jump.But by far and away, phosphate costs have been the main reason for min-eral price volatility.

Can you afford not to have aSioux hoop shelter?

Based on a conservative cost of hay at $40 per ton, over a15 yr. expected life span of a hoop shelter:• A 36’ X 100’ hoop (holds approx. 360 round 5’ bales) can save $23,828.• A 42’ X 100’ hoop (holds approx. 420 round 5’ bales) can save $35,563.• A 56’ X 100’ hoop (holds approx. 540 round 5’ bales) can save $52,080.

Hoop shelters save even more bypreserving the nutrient value of your hay.

University studies show that bales left uncovereddeteriorate from 16.87% to 24.10% in a year’s time.

It’s not what it costs,it’s what it SAVES!

The Kansas LivestockAssociation (KLA) and In-tervet/Schering-Plough An-imal Health will host threecow-calf profitability semi-nars during April. Theseseminars are designed tohelp ranchers address thechallenges of today’s beefindustry, including risinginput costs and escalatingland values, by providingpractical management in-formation that can be ap-plied to any operation.

Minimizing productioncosts is more importantthan ever in the current en-vironment of volatile mar-kets. Management and mar-keting decisions that haveworked in the past may notbe the best options today.Kansas State University an-imal nutritionist KC Olson

will provide several sug-gestions on how cow-calfproducers might be able toreduce input costs usingpractical managementmethods. Inter-vet/Schering-Plough SeniorTerritory Manager RonHinrichsen will take it onestep further by explaininghow producers can increasevalue and efficiencythrough health programsand implants.

Ranchland Trust ofKansas (RTK) ExecutiveDirector Mike Beam willdiscuss how to add value toexisting operations throughnon-traditional land use andconservation. RTK special-izes in establishing conser-vation easements, whichare used to protect agricul-tural land and native grass

pasture from urbanization.Another session will

focus on setting prioritiesfor business and life. K-State Animal Sciences &Industry Department HeadKen Odde will explain theimportance of practicinggood time management andsetting business goals. Dur-ing his presentation, Oddewill provide organizationaltips that can be used to ac-complish both.

The seminars will takeplace April 7 at the Farmers

and Ranchers LivestockCommission Co. in Salina;April 9 at the Kansas StateUniversity Ag ResearchCenter in Hays; and April14 at the Youth and 4-HCommunity Center in Pratt.Each seminar is free andwill begin with dinner at5:30 p.m. Those wanting toattend can find more infor-mation and a registrationform at www.kla.org/calendar. The registrationdeadline for all three semi-nars is April 3.

TOPEKA (AP) —Members of the Kansas con-gressional delegation askedPresident Barack Obama onThursday to boost proposedfunding next year to buildthe new National Bio- andAgro-Defense Facility.The Department of

Homeland Security awardedthe project to Kansas in Jan-uary, choosing a site atKansas State University inManhattan over four otherfinalists. The lab will con-duct research on deadlyplant and animal diseases,replacing an aging lab atPlum Island, N.Y.In a letter sent Thursday

by Sens. Sam Brownbackand Pat Roberts and Rep.Todd Tiahrt, the Republi-

cans asked that the Obamaadministration show supportfor the project by appropri-ating $150 million in fiscalyear 2010, which beginsOct. 1.The members of the

Kansas delegation said itwas their understanding thatonly $35 million was includ-ed in the president’s budgetsent to Congress, with an ad-ditional $500 million tocome in fiscal year 2011 fol-lowing the sale of the PlumIsland property.``We want this adminis-

tration to know how crucialit is for the NBAF project tomove forward withoutdelay,’’ Tiahrt said in a writ-ten statement. ``We believeit is important for the feder-

al government to commit toa strong level of funding forthis regional and national se-curity priority.’’The Kansas Republicans

noted that the state has com-mitted $110 million of itsmoney to the project. Theoverall investment is expect-ed to be around $650 mil-lion.``As a former legislator,

we hope you understand thatin light of the funding putforth by the state of Kansas,a larger investment by DHSand the federal governmentis seen as a crucial signal ofyour administration’s plansto move forward with theconstruction of this nationalsecurity priority,’’ theywrote.

Tom Thornton, presidentof the Kansas BiosciencesAuthority, said the delega-tion was acting appropriate-ly in seeking clarity on thelevel of federal funds in2010. The authority hasbeen working for severalyears on Kansas’ proposal toland the NBAF project andmet with federal officials inWashington earlier inMarch.Thornton said that during

a visit to Kansas last month,DHS Secretary JanetNapolitano said the new lab-oratory was a focus for theagency and would be fundedin phases over several years,much as the governmentfunds military constructionprojects. The question he

said is not whether federalfunds will be coming toKansas in the 2010 budget,but how much can be ex-pected.``No one questions this is

a priority for the administra-tion,’’ he said.The laboratory is to be

built on 59 acres near theBiosecurity Research Insti-tute, where similar activitiesare conducted on plant andanimal diseases. Thorntonsaid DHS officials expectconstruction to begin inearly to mid-2010.Kansas State University

officials have said that thelab could conduct a portion

of the research that will bedone at the national lab untilthat facility is completed,which is expected to be by2015.The national lab is ex-

pected to generate about1,500 construction jobs anda payroll of $25 million to$30 million for more than500 employees, including300 researchers. HomelandSecurity has scheduled aconference for April 7 atKansas State for generalcontractors with construc-tion proposals. The agencyissued a request for propos-als for preliminary construc-tion bids on March 17.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thirtymembers of Congress are calling for adelay on new rules that are intended tokeep mad-cow disease out of the foodsupply but have created problems indisposing of dead cattle. A spokesmanfor the Nebraska congressman leadingthe charge said Thursday the rulescould make it more difficult to disposeof dead livestock. Starting April 27, aU.S. Food and Drug Administrationrule would require livestock renderersand animal feed manufacturers to re-move the brain and spinal cord fromcows 30 months and older. The rule isdesigned to keep central nervous sys-tem tissue from dead cattle out of ani-mal feed because it can cause bovinespongiform encephalopathy, or madcow disease.

Before the rule even takes effect,farmers have faced uncertainty abouthow to dispose of dead livestock as ren-dering companies close or stop accept-ing cattle. In a letter addressed to FDAActing Commissioner Frank Torti, theHouse lawmakers write that they un-

derstand the motivations behind theregulation but are worried about in-creased disposal costs. The letter sug-gests looking to European standards inhandling prohibited materials whileprocessing animals or developing a car-cass disposal plan. ``A more completeanalysis will allow the affected indus-tries sufficient time to develop and im-plement cost effective means to complywith the final regulation,’’ the letterstates. The lead author is U.S. Rep.Adrian Smith, R-Neb., who was joinedby Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and law-makers from Pennsylvania, Kansas andother states.

An FDA spokesman did not imme-diately return a call seeking commentThursday. But the federal agency hassaid the new regulation is necessarybecause mad cow disease has beenlinked to more than 200 human deathsworldwide — though none involvedU.S. beef.

Nationwide, 54 billion pounds ofanimal parts are rendered each year.Only a small portion of that — an esti-

mated 4-5 billion pounds — comesfrom animals that die on farms. Criticsof the FDA rule say that under the newrestrictions, many livestock producerswould be hard-pressed to find rendererswilling to accept dead cattle. Those thatdo would pay more, up from about $20per animal now to more than $100. Thefederal rule has led to fears that deadcattle and dairy cows could be left rot-ting on farms, dragged into creeks orthat properly buried animals couldeventually become concentratedenough to contaminate drinking water.

Months before the federal rule tookeffect, an animal feed company inBlunt’s southwest Missouri congres-sional district cited the anticipated extracosts of complying with the FDA rulefor shutting down.

The Halfway Packing Co. was thelast Missouri company willing to pickup dead livestock from farmers’ pas-tures. The company’s owner estimatedthat the trucks covered more than 1,000miles per day across 20 counties in theheart of the state’s cattle country.
