AUCTIONSUNDAY, APRIL 25 — 11:00 AM902W. 1st St., ABILENE, KANSAS

Thursday, April 15th, was more than just “tax day” atFarmers and Ranchers Livestock Auction in Salina. A spe-cial fundraiser was being held for the All American BeefBattalion, Steaks for Troops organization.

This organization feeds American troops and their fam-ilies a steak dinner as a way to say “Thank You” for theirsacrifice and service to our country.

A Charolais-cross heifer was donated by D. Rosebrook &Sons of Lincoln with the intent that she be sold and the pro-ceeds generated from the sale to be given to Steaks forTroops. She was sold and resold nine times, in the end rais-ing over $10,000.

Area cattlemen and businesses also responded by mak-ing additional donations, bringing the total fundraising ef-fort to over $15,000 total to Steaks for Troops. This type ofevent has been staged at several prominent auction mar-kets across the United States to generate funds for this ef-fort to recognize and thank service men and women andtheir families. Just prior to the Salina event a calf was soldat the National Stockyards in Oklahoma City.

Bill Broadie, veteran and cattleman from Ashland is thefounder of the organization All-American Beef Battalionand has worked dilagently to raise funds for this effort.

For those wanting more information or to make a dona-tion to the cause, mail to All American Beef Battalion, P.O.Box 458, Ashland, KS 67831 or call (620) 635-0544. Support-ers can also go to www.steaksfortroops.com.

Goats were one of thefirst animals to be tamedby humans and were beingherded 9,000 years ago.They are a member of thecattle family and are be-lieved to be descendedfrom the wild goat, bezoar.

Worldwide, more peopleeat the meat and drink themilk of goats than any othersingle animal. Most goatmeat producers are alsothe consumers. For thatreason, goat is not one of

the top imports or exports.There are over 210

breeds of goat. Of the 450million goats in the world,6 to 8 percent of them arein North America. Thelargest part of the worldgoat population can befound in the Mideast andAsia.

The US is the largest im-porter of goats. Australia isthe largest exporter.

The primary consumersof goat meat in the US are

ethnic populations such asMuslims, Latinos andAsians. Typically goat meatmust either be purchasedin an ethnic marketplaceor directly from slaughterfacilities as a whole car-cass.

The meat from a younggoat is called “cabrito.”Meat from more maturegoats is “chevron.”

The biggest expense inproduction is adequatefencing.

Dr. Jodie Pennington, asmall ruminant specialistworking with Lincoln Uni-versity and University ofMissouri Extension, saysgoat production in regionhas grown dramatically inthe past several years.

The last official censusin 2007 had 80,000 meatgoats in Missouri or 3.2 per-cent of the U.S. goat popu-lation. Missouri rankseighth of all states in num-ber of goats.

“In the U. S., meat goatproduction has gained pop-ularity in recent years inpart because of a growingpopulation of ethnic andfaith-based groups whoconsume goat meat,” saidPennington. “Missouri hasfollowed similar trends but

more goats are needed tomeet consumer demand.”

The national estimatesindicate that the U.S. in2007 needed an additional750,000 head to meet cur-rent demands for goatmeat.

“Complicating theshortage of goats is thatmany producers sold theirbreeding goats when feedprices rose in recent years.We are now seeing the mar-ket for goats getting tighter,resulting in record highprices,” said Pennington.

Managing forage pro-duction for grazing goatscan supply 80 percent oftheir nutritional require-ments,” said Pennington.

Goats prefer browse(twigs, shoots and leaves of

trees, bushes and vines) orbushy type plants such asweeds, briers, and brushbut they will also eat somegrasses. Goats graze fromthe top down and do wellwith limited or no grain ifadequate forages are avail-able.

“Goats graze on cool-season and warm seasongrasses but data also showthat goats will perform bet-ter with grass and browseas compared with grassonly,” said Pennington.

There are a variety ofreasons for owning goatsaccording to Pennington.

“Commercial meat pro-ducers or seed-stock pro-ducers own most meatgoats, but some ownershave goats for vegetationcontrol,” said Pennington.

Youth may want to keepone to four animals for

showing in 4-H or FFA ac-tivities, and other individu-als may own meat goatsmerely as a hobby andkeep them for companionor for recreational purpos-es.

“Many breeds and cross-breeds of goats can be usedsuccessfully to producemeat. There are good ani-mals in every breed,” saidPennington. “Boer goatsare the most popular breedand may require more in-tense management formeat production thanother breeds.”

Some data indicates thatKiko and Spanish goats tendto reproduce better and areless susceptible to internalparasites than Boer goats.Generally, the managementof goats for meat productionwill be similar acrossbreeds.

The June Natural Gas hasgone two weeks withoutmaking a new low. That is asbullish as that market hasbeen since December. I amhesitant to say that a bottomis in, but I am comfortablebuying calls against summerirrigation needs. There isnothing wrong with puttingon a price ceiling with theJune NG just above $4.00.The US Dollar Index

started the week sharplylower on ideas that the Greekfinancial problems had beenworked out, but spent therest of the week side-ways/higher as the Greek sit-uation, once again, becameless clear. The charts lookneutral for the moment withthe daily chart suggests side-ways/higher trade in theshort run, but the weeklychart suggesting more weak-ness is ahead. Traders arewaiting to see what happensin Europe and what the Chi-

nese do with the Yuan vs. USDollar peg.The July corn gained 16

¾ cents last week despiteideas that farmers madegood planting progress. TheJuly contract moved abovetrend line resistance and ap-pears to be headed towardthe 50-day moving average.The export market was animportant supporting factorthis week. Export sales camein at 1.01 MMT, whichmarks the second week in arow of sales over 1 MMT.Sale like that, if they contin-ue, would force USDA to in-crease the export estimateand therefore cut the endingstocks estimate. Time willtell if we can keep the salespace going, but if we can itwould certainly be support-ive, especially in the newcrop where the stocks situa-tion could actually get verytight if we have an averageyield.

The other aspect of theexport business that wassupportive this week was thecontinued talk of potentialChinese imports. Nothinghas materialized, but thereare signs that it may happen.The price of corn in China isover $7.00. The Chinese arereleasing government stocksto help meet demand and en-couraging planting to helpmeet demand next year. Itwill be interesting to see if S.Korea and Japan step up pur-chases in the near term toavoid competing with theChinese in the future if theydo actually buy US corn.The big thing to watch thisweek is the December corn.The December corn stalledout just below the 50-daymoving average last week. Ithasn’t been consistentlyabove the 50-day since theJanuary crop report, but aclose above it this weekwould mark a change in

trend and suggest a move upto $4.50. If the Decembercorn closes above the 50-daymoving average, you have tobuy call options.The July KW gained 23 ¼

cents this week and closedabove the 50-day movingaverage for the first timesince the January supply anddemand report, and reachedto 38% retracement of themove down from the Janu-ary high. I can’t think of anypositive fundamental news,in fact all the news I canthink of is bearish. Crop con-ditions are good and most ofthe HRW area has seen goodmoisture or will see goodmoisture in the near future.Export sales were poor atonly 101,100 MT for the oldcrop. That isn’t enough tojustify last week’s increasein the export estimate andwith so little time left in thecrop year it will be difficultto recover from a bad week.With the fundamentals

negative, we have to look attechnical reasons for the re-cent strength. First, trading

funds are very short, particu-larly in Chicago. When theycouldn’t push the market anylower following the Quarter-ly Stocks report, shorttraders began taking profits.Short covering can move amarket a long way and trad-ing funds still had about70,000 net short positions inChicago wheat according tothe last Commitment ofTraders Report. Short termtechnical indicators are giv-ing buy signals, which causespeculators to bottom pickand hedgers to questionthemselves. Pretty soon youhave a market making con-sistent gains with no otherreason than money flow.Right now it looks like thatmoney flow will take theJuly KW to the $5.30 level.The soybeans finally

broke out of the tradingrange they have been stuckin since mid February. TheJuly beans gained 32 centsand reached the highest levelsince the middle of January.Export sales were ade-

quate at 158,000 MT for the

old crop and 293,000 MT forthe new crop. China was abuyer again, so all of theirbusiness is obviously notgoing to S. America. Mealand oil sales were good aswell, so overall demand isstill quite good.The bull spreads made

small gains this week and thefundamentals suggest thatthey will keep working overtime. At the current demandpace the USDA may verywell have to lower the oldcrop ending stocks estimateonce again.Looking at the charts the

breakout in the July beanslooks very impressive. Themarket is becoming over-bought, but a short term ob-jective of $10.06 should beattainable in the short run,and a longer term move tothe $10.25 level is likely.Cash cattle trade took

place early in the week againat $99 - $100, which waslower money. The lowermoney and the early tradewas negative, but the JuneLC recovered to close posi-

There are several majorbenefits to raising meatgoats according to Dr. JodiePennington, a small rumi-nant specialist working withLincoln University and Uni-versity of Missouri Exten-sion,

“Raising goats requiresminimal costs for facilitiesand investment. They arealso attractive for their abili-ty to use grass and other lowcosts forages, brush control,high pregnancy rates, andpotential for high returns peracre,” said Pennington. “Butat the same time, goats alsohave the potential for lossesif sound management is notmaintained.”

Sound management ofany goat enterprise dependson good records to monitoreconomic factors and theproper care of the animals.

Pennington says it is es-sential that animal identifi-cation be made in a precisemanner. Budgets should beset to determine the financialfeasibility of the business.Breeders should also makesure they have a market fortheir goats before they begin.

A calendar is also recom-mended to make sure routinemanagement practices whichare conducted in a timelymanner and treatment proce-

dures for illnesses are estab-lished.

“Proper care of meatgoats is essential because thebest economic returns are re-alized when disease prob-lems are minimal,” said Pen-nington. “That means clean-liness and proper animalcomfort are important for theprevention of disease.”

Major problems withraising goats include market-ing, internal parasite control,an economic and sustainableforage program, availabilityof good breeding stock,predator control (primarilyguard dogs), availability of alocal veterinarian, and lackof model farms to emulate.

“Some producers withfull-time jobs may be limitedin the time that they canspend on goats at criticaltimes. Feeding the guard dogcan also be a problem withabsentee owners, but it is es-sential the goats be protectedfrom predators,” said Pen-nington.

More and more cattle pro-ducers are running goatswith the cattle, either inleader-follower system orconcurrently. The advantageof this system is that the pas-ture is used more efficiently.The goats are browsers andeat the bushy plants, includ-ing many weeds, and the cat-tle eat the lower-growing

grass. According to Penning-ton, forage use can be im-proved 10 to 20 percent bythis system which alsoworks well with horses.

“The performance ofyour meat goats is a combi-nation of several factors. Thebreeding and selection of theanimals, the health and careof the animals once they arein your possession, and theinteraction with facilities,feeding, and weather will alleffect performance,” saidPennington.

With spring tempera-tures stretching acrossmuch of the U.S., alfalfa hasbroken dormancy in manyareas, making it an optimaltime for growers to evaluatestand density and yield po-tential. Experts at PioneerHi-Bred, a DuPont busi-ness, provide methods fordetermining yield poten-tial, including plant densityand stem count processes.As alfalfa plants start togreen, growers should planto evaluate for yield poten-tial and, where needed,consider stand termination.Plant density, a form ofevaluating stand growth, isone method for determiningquality.

When counting plantsper square foot, growersshould take a random 1-footsquare and count the num-ber of plants (crowns) thatare alive and healthy. Takefour to five counts for every10 acres. Calculate the field

average and use the chartbelow for determiningquality. The second option,the stem count method, isthe most reliable but needsto be conducted severalweeks after initial green-up. 1. Check stands whenthe alfalfa plants are 4 to 6inches tall. 2. Randomly se-lect four to five 1-foot-square sites for every 5 to 10acres. 3. Count the numberof stems per square foot. Ifan alfalfa field averagesmore than 55 stems persquare foot, it has top yieldpotential.

Some losses may incurwith 40 to 55 stems persquare foot. If the stem

count is below 40 stems persquare foot, the growershould consider replacingthe stand. If stand density isquestionable, growersshould consider turning thecrop under early or afterthe first cutting. Alfalfasupplies a great deal of ni-trogen to the soil. Growersshould look to plant an al-ternative crop, such ascorn, to utilize the N credit.

Grass & Grain, April 20, 2010 Page 31

Hay quality is determined by many different criteriaaccording to Gary Naylor, a livestock specialist withUniversity of Missouri Extension.

But the quality is important to know because thequality of the forage produced or purchased reducesthe need for supplemental grain and protein feeding.

“The easiest way to determine hay quality is to get ittested,” said Naylor. “For about 15 dollars you willknow the exact protein and energy value of the forage.”

When a test is not available, the cutting date is themost important factor to consider. Fescue and othercool season grasses should have been cut by the end ofMay according to Naylor.

“As the forage matures, fiber and lignin in the stemhelps hold the heavy seedhead upright, but it makesmuch of the plant indigestible. This lowers the energyvalue of the hay and the protein value is also reducedby as much as 50 percent,” said Naylor.

Another problem with late cut, mature forage, is thatit is not as palatable as early cut hay.

“Mature forage also moves through the animal’s di-gestive system much slower reducing their ability togain or produce milk,” said Naylor.

Naylor has several recommendations to make whenpurchasing hay. Check for grass seedhead and largenumbers of blooms in clover and alfalfa. More maturitymeans less quality.

Hay should feel soft, have a nice green color andsmell good. It is also important to look for weeds sincean excessive number of weeds will lower the quality.

It is also important to check for heat damage. If thehay has an off odor or mold is detected, livestock mostlikely will not consume it as readily.

“High quality forage is necessary for livestock tomilk well or gain rapidly. Producing or purchasing qual-ity hay is important in achieving those goals,” said Nay-lor.

Pay close attention to your child’s highschool assignments. They may become afamily business one day. That’s how LynnWilken got into the worm business.

His son, A.J., needed a project for FutureFarmers of America. “Worms were a hobbyfor me,” said Wilken. “About four years ago,A.J. took it over as an FFA project. Heworked at building it up, and took it to theFFA contests.” Today, producing vermicom-post is a part of the Wilken’s diversifiedfarming operation.

The Wilkens currently raise Africannight crawlers — 250 per bucket. “We keepthem in a temperature-controlled build-ing,” he said. “We feed them and allow themto eat through the bedding in two weekstime. Then we harvest them using screenswith different sized holes to separate theworms, the castings, and the worm eggs.”

The castings, which are actually wormmanure, get bagged and sold as microbial-rich fertilizer. The eggs are placed into anincubator to hatch, then into buckets withnew bedding, and the process begins again.Wilken has been selling the castings towholesalers so the profit margin is small.“We are working on ways to build the busi-ness by selling to landscapers, golf courses,retail outlets, and direct sales to individu-als. We’re also hoping to expand the wormproduction itself. We plan on raising meal

worms to sell to pet shops and for use inbird seed. We’re also looking into raisingred worms to sell to bait shops,” he said.

Vermiculture is only a small portion oftheWilken’s current farming operation. “Mybrother and I run a soybean seed process-ing plant under the name MWS Seeds.”

Birdseed also provides income forWilken. “We bring in semi truck loads ofsunflower seed, millet, safflower, and vari-ous other grains to mix with corn from ourown farm to produce several birdseedmixes that attract different birds likefinches, cardinals, and other songbirds,” hesaid.

Karen Moore, U of I Extension Directorof the Ford-Iroquois Unit commendsWilken for his unique combination of ver-miculture, birdseed sales, and the familyseed operation because it demonstratescompatibility through seasonal buildingusage.

“As we move into 21st century agricul-ture, it is important to think outside the boxand move forward with new ideas that willassure profitability in the ag industry aswell as provide for the needs of consumersin our state, nation, and internationally.This family business is an excellent exam-ple of how a seemingly small FFA projecthas grown into a viable entity in the com-munity,” she said.

The month of May is traditionally thetime when “spring round-ups” take place.This is the time that large and smallcow/calf operations schedule the “work-ing” of the calves.

As the majority of the calves reach theirsecond month of life, it is time to castratethe male calves and immunize all of thecalves to protect them against blackleg.Also the new information from OklahomaState University and the Noble Founda-tion (Kirkpatrick, 2008) suggests that insome situations, calves may be vaccinatedfor the respiratory diseases, i.e. IBR andBVD.

Correct administration of any injectionis a critical control point in beef produc-tion and animal health. There is a negativerelationship between meat tenderness andinjection sites, including injection sitesthat have no visible lesion.

In fact, all intramuscular (IM) injec-tions, regardless of the product injected,create permanent damage regardless ofthe age of the animal at the time of injec-tion. Tenderness is reduced in a three-incharea surrounding the injection site. Mov-

ing the injection-site area to the neck stopsdamage to expensive steak cuts. Therefore,cow/calf producers should make certainthat their family members, and other hiredlabor are sufficiently trained as to theproper location of the injections before thespring calf-working begins.

Give injections according to label in-structions. Subcutaneous (SQ) meansunder the skin, intramuscular (IM) meansin the muscle. Some vaccines (according tothe label instructions) allow the choice be-tween intramuscular (IM) and subcuta-neous (SQ).

Always use subcutaneous (SQ) as themethod of administration when permittedby the product’s label. Remember to “tent”the skin for SQ injections unless instructedotherwise by the manufacturer. Beef pro-ducers are encouraged to learn and prac-tice Beef Quality Assurance Guidelines.You can learn more about the OklahomaBeef Quality Assurance program by goingto the website: http://oklahomabeef quali-ty.com/ . The Oklahoma Beef Quality Assur-ance Manual can be downloaded from thatsite.

Twitter. Facebook. YouTube. LinkedIn.More frequently, these are services being ac-cessed from the turnrow, tractor’s seat andbarn. Farmers are tapping into social mediaservices more frequently, especially sincethe weekly streaming conversation calledAgChat was founded on Twitter last year. Asmany offices closed Friday for holidays,farmers launched theAgChat Foundation on-line. Hundreds of people talked about thenew website and the mission to empowerfarmers and ranchers to connect communi-ties through social media platforms. Farm-ers Jeff Fowle of California, Darin Grimm ofKansas, Mike Haley of Ohio and Ray Prockof California were strangers a year ago. Theybuilt friendships and began doing things thatsupported each other’s farming segmentsafter meeting in the online AgChat discus-sion.“I’d say the effort Ray and I spearheaded

to raise awareness in the economic crisis fordairy farms was where we began to realizehow well we could do in telling our storiesonline. It’s also the first time some of us re-ally focused toward a common goal,” Haleyexplains. “We think AgChat Foundation willhelp other farmers share their experiences aswe learn from each other about how to putthe true faces and stories of American agri-culture.”Prock explains, “We’ve had these ideas

and after tossing them around for months, allof us agreed, if farmers didn’t take owner-ship for moving this forward, we couldn’t re-ally expect anyone else to. And as weworked on our ideas, a number of othershave offered suggestions and a lot of time oftheir personal time to help us realize this vi-sion.”The Foundation has four program areas

focused on social media: Agvocacy 2.0Training: Educate farmers through basic,mid-level & expert training to move mind-sets up the technology ladder. StrategicAgvocacy Coordination: Empower agricul-ture’s voice through coordinated industry-wide efforts. Data Analysis: Provide tools to

assist agvocates with targeted community ef-forts. Technology Scholarships: Equip farm-ers with infrastructure to enable full use ofsocial media.Each of the founding farmers believe in

these four areas and social media so deeply,they each have elaborated on them by shoot-ing videos that can be accessed through theFoundation’s new website http://agchat.org,by going to http://youtube.com/agchat orthrough the links above. Fowle points outthat the programs are meant to be broad. “Itbecomes very apparent through social mediathat there is a great diversity of farm stories.My family runs our ranch one way and wemay have a neighbor across the valley thatmakes very different choices. The real valueof social media comes from farmers tellingtheir own story from their own perspective.”Volunteers have been part of AgChat on

twitter for a long time, providing moderationof discussions, etc and adopting more waysto reach out to both members of the ag com-munity and the general public as well. EvenGrimm finds himself amplifying their voiceonline. “My friends and family would be sur-prised about how vocal I’ve become onlinecause I’m somewhat of an introvert, but I’veseen a lot of power from farmers sharingtheir stories and am trying to do the same.Most of us think our story is pretty boringbut you find that some of the most commonthings we do on the farm are some of themost interesting to people in cities and sub-urbs.”Data shows that almost 300 people sent

messages on Twitter Friday and drivingmore than 1,500 people to accessAgChat.org and reaching almost a quarter ofa million people in the 1.4 million impres-sions. The AgChat Foundation seeks to in-volve all sectors of agriculture in this effort,encompassing diverse viewpoints such asconventional, organic, small and large oper-ations. Our focus is to bring agriculture to-gether, rather than segment and diminish ourindustry by focusing on size, region or pro-duction differences.

Excellent moisture andgenerally good growing con-ditions, coupled with a longwinter spent pushing snow,fighting mud and feedingcows likely is tempting mostcattlemen to push their pas-tures earlier and harder thisspring. It’s a temptationthat’s best avoided.

“Don’t overgraze. That’smy No. 1 piece of advice,”says Mark Renz, Extensionweed specialist with the Uni-versity of Wisconsin. “Theoutlook heading into the sea-son is really positive, but ifwe don’t continue to man-age small problems beforethey become large ones, theoptimism can change quick-ly.”

Dealing with pastureproblems becomes morechallenging in smallerparcels that make up muchof the Wisconsin country-side. Renz says that it’s sim-ply more difficult to manageseveral smaller pastures thana few larger ones.

“Since our pastures gen-erally are productive,management tends to fall tothe bottom of the to-dolist,” Renz adds. “But manyproducers are being penal-ized economically for

not managing.”Among the challenges

that can come with misman-agement is an increase inweeds and other undesirableplants. Through education,Renz hopes to prevent mis-management in the firstplace. He says that just a fewsimple steps, like rotationalgrazing and managingweeds, brush and other low-value plants early — beforethey become bigger prob-lems — can help optimizeforage potential.

“Rotational grazingalone can provide dramaticbenefits in terms of weedsuppression,” Renz adds.

While the landscapechanges drastically from thesmaller pastures of Wiscon-sin to the more open rangesof western Nebraska, the ad-vice doesn’t.

“Good precipitation lastfall and a lot of snow in thewinter provided plenty ofmoisture to give grasses, aswell as some of the perenni-al and biennial weeds, agood start,” says Bob Wil-son, weed specialist at theUniversity of Nebraska Pan-handle Research and Exten-sion Center in Scottsbluff.“It’s important to go in early

before weeds bolt and con-trol them so they don’t havea long period to competewith the grasses.”

Effective early controlstarts with identifying theweed species present and de-veloping a control program.For example, most produc-ers know they have to dealwith thistles, Wilson says.

“But if they have thistles,plus other broadleaf weedsto control, then they shouldselect a control program thataddresses those differentspecies,” he adds.

A wide control spectrumis important not only in Ne-braska and Wisconsin, butareas in between and be-yond.

“Many pastures in Wis-consin have a broad range ofweed species,” Renz ex-plains. A grower can utilizeit in a number of situations.”

For example, weed spec-trums often vary from pas-ture to pasture, Renz says.

Wilson expects an aver-age weed population thisyear — due in part to goodsubsoil moisture helping toput forage grasses at a com-petitive advantage. He be-lieves insects should furthermotivate early weed control.

“There have been predic-tions that grasshoppers willchallenge us this year,” Wil-son explains. “The soonerproducers can control weeds,the less time the weeds willspend competing with thegrasses.” And more robustgrasses stand up better to in-sect feeding to better feedgrazing livestock.

When it comes to emer-gency management in theUnited States, agriculturehas been a relative newcom-er to the table. But effortsare under way to bring agri-culture into emergencyplans - right down to thecounty level. “Many coun-ties in states across thecountry have a plan that in-cludes agriculture, butmany more don´t,” said BillyDictson, who is director ofthe Office of Biosecurity inthe Southwest Border FoodSafety and Defense Centerat New Mexico State Uni-versity.

Speaking at workshops inWichita and Liberal, theweek of March 22-26, Dict-son said, “One of the thingsthat really concerned uswas that in 3,000-some coun-ties across the country, mostof them are silent on agri-culture.”

The “Strengthening Com-munity Agrosecurity Plan-ning” (S-CAP) workshopsbrought agricultural pro-ducers, county emergencymanagers, veterinarians,law enforcement, Extension

agents and others togetherto identify agricultural as-sets in counties and makesure those assets were ad-dressed in county emer-gency plans.

The workshops were pre-sented by the Extension Dis-aster Education Network(EDEN), a collaborativemulti-state effort by Exten-sion services across thecountry to improve the de-livery of services to citizensaffected by disasters. Theworkshops were brought toKansas by K-State Researchand Extension, a memberinstitution of EDEN. The S-CAP workshops are fundedby the National Institute ofFood and Agriculture andare being presented instates across the country.Farm Credit Associations ofKansas supported bothKansas workshops.

The workshops were de-signed to build capacity tohandle agricultural issuesduring an emergency or dis-aster, to improve network-ing among stakeholders whocan plan for and respond toemergencies, and to develop

community agrosecurityplanning (CAP) teams whowill establish or enhanceagrosecurity componentswithin existing local emer-gency operations plans.

“After 9-11, greater con-cern surfaced about thesafety of our food supply,”Dictson said. “Remember,every plane, including cropdusters, was grounded forseveral days after 9-11. Atthat time, ag didn´t reallyhave a place at the national`table.´ I would submit thatif we ever have a foreign an-imal disease incident intro-duced, it will far surpass thedevastation caused by 9-11.”

At stake in Kansas alone,is a wheat industry that in2008 ranked No. 1 in theUnited States at 856 millionbushels or 14.2 percent ofU.S. wheat production, ac-cording to the Kansas De-partment of Agriculture.Kansas also ranked No. 1 inflour milled (32.8 millionhundred weight), No. 1 insorghum grain produced(214 million bushels) and

No. 3 in cattle and calves onfarms (6.3 million head) andcattle slaughtered (6.5 mil-lion head).

The threats to agricul-ture can be accidental, natu-ral or intentional, Dictsonsaid. He cited notes found ina cave in Afghanistan thathad lists of plant and animaldiseases, including foot andmouth disease, hog cholera,rice blast and maize rust.“Information about how toattack the U.S. food supplyhas been known for sometime, but so far, state-spon-sored groups or individualshave not chosen to attackour food supply,” he said.

“I submit that if thosekinds of lists of agents thatcan be used against the foodand agriculture industry inthe U.S. are in the hands ofstate-sponsored terrorists,they are there for no goodreason,” Dictson said. TheU.S. also runs the risk thatdisease might be brought in,intentionally or not, via ille-gally imported livestock,Dictson said. “Animal smug-

gling is second only to drugsmuggling in this country,”the biosecurity specialistsaid. Andrea Husband,agrosecurity program coor-dinator at the University ofKentucky, reminded work-shop participants about thefinancial and emotional tollof the foot-and-mouth dis-ease outbreak in the UnitedKingdom in 2001. The directeconomic impact from thatincident totaled about $3.3billion (in U.S. dollars) andanother $8.3 billion in losttourism and related indus-try revenue, she said. By theend of the 221-day outbreak,more than 6 million animalswere euthanized.

“But it doesn´t take a bigoutbreak to have a huge eco-nomic impact,” Husband

said. She cited the financialimpact sparked by one cowconfirmed to have bovinespongiform encephalopathy(BSE) inWashington, includ-ing beef export losses thatranged from $3.2 billion to$4.7 billion.

“Domestic cattle pricesdropped 16 percent in thefirst week alone and inter-national trade restrictionsstill exist,” she said.

HUTCHINSON (AP) — A cold northwind blows across John Miller’s farm, whichsits amid a patch of Reno County crop fieldsawaiting spring planting and a green blan-ket of winter wheat that is just breaking dor-mancy.But take a step inside his greenhouse,

where a gush of warm air hits visitors in theface. Nearly 1,600 green plants bunchedwith ripening tomatoes grow 10 feet high inrows underneath a protective awning whereit is summer all winter long.While some say tomato, Miller says hy-

droponic. Even in the coldest of months,there’re tomatoes ready for picking byMiller; his wife, Frieda; and their six chil-dren — Rachael, 23; Kathy, 21; Arlene, 19;Walter, 16; Jonathan, 9; and Dorothy, 3. Here,on the plains of Kansas, not far south ofSouth Hutchinson, the Millers are in themiddle of a fledgling produce business. Infact, they are having trouble keeping upwith the market demand.Called Cheney Lake Tomatoes, the

Millers grow a ton of tomatoes during manyweeks of the year — fresh, red herbicide-and pesticide-free tomatoes — that whenready for picking are loaded into a van anddriven to stores and farmers markets.“I was surprised after being at the farm-

ers market ... just how much people here inKansas really go for locally grown pro-duce,’’ Miller said from the greenhouse ashis family busily boxed up cherry, cocktailand cluster tomatoes for shipping to a Wi-chita grocery.It’s a change from two years ago, he ad-

mits. Back then, the family really didn’thave much of a green thumb or know any-thing about hydroponic tomatoes, for thatmatter. For several years, the Millers livedon a farm in Kentucky where they raisedveal calves and rabbits.In 2008, they moved to Kansas for church

reasons, to the county where his mothergrew up as a child.“We always wanted to have a green-

house,’’ he said. “But we never had the op-portunity. We were so busy in Kentucky.’’The U.S. is one of the world’s leading

producers of tomatoes, second only toChina, according to the U.S. Department ofAgriculture. Fresh and processed tomatoes- mostly grown under nature’s elements - ac-count for more than $2 billion in annualfarm cash receipts, with a majority of theproduction coming from states like Califor-nia and Florida.The rapidly growing greenhouse tomato

industry has become an important part ofthe tomato business. Greenhouse tomatoes

now represent an estimated 17 percent ofthe U.S.’s fresh tomato supply, the agricul-ture department reports.The greenhouse operation, however, has

been a learning experience, with Miller andthe family reading books and talking toother growers about how to get started.For instance, one misconception is that

these tomatoes grow in water. Many grow-ers, however, including Miller, use a sterile,organic matter that contains volcanic ash.In the past, growers would have to polli-

nate their plants by hand. These days, polli-nators come shipped in a cardboard hivefilled with bumblebees that can be seen onany given day flying around the warm green-house. Tanks of fertilizer operated by acomputer inject nutrients a few times everyhour.Yet getting a greenhouse put up and put-

ting in plants was just one aspect of thecomplex business. The family had to learnthe mechanics of greenhouse operation,which include heating the structure.This, Miller says, is his favorite part of

the business.A furnace that burns woodchips not far

from the greenhouse heats water to 175 de-grees. The water is piped to the greenhouseand his farmhouse, heating both structures.Except for experience in grinding wood-

chips and water usage, his heating expenseis virtually zero. Moreover, he said, his fur-nace doesn’t contaminate the environment.All that aside, now the family is just try-

ing to keep up with demand.“It was a little scary at first,’’ Miller said.

“We didn’t know the local grocery people oranything. But this year, I don’t think we’llhave enough tomatoes for the market.’’Helping aid demand is the freeze that

struck Florida’s budding tomato crop thisyear, a state that produces a majority of thenation’s tomatoes. The Millers will put upanother greenhouse this summer, whichwill allow them to add another 800 plants —allowing them to produce tomatoes year-round.Chris Barnes, who runs Smith’s Market,

one of the retailers who sells the Mil-lers’ tomatoes, said he used to get his toma-toes from a hothouse in Nebraska. Now hegets as many as he can from the local grow-er.Customers “really appreciate locally

grown products, and I do, too,’’ he said.“Last week, we advertised homegrowntomatoes, and people liked that, and I hearda lot of positive comments from customersabout them.’’

With the tight economyin cattle production, it istempting to cut corners onanimal health products.More than one cattle pro-ducer has thought aboutskipping vaccinations orusing less expensive op-tions in their herd healthprogram.One step that producers

should not miss in thespring of the year is de-worming the cowherdprior to going to pasture.According to a Universityof Nevada research bul-letin, cattle producers thatdon’t control internalparasites could be losing$10 to $40 per cow eachyear.In certain regions of the

country, producers don’tinclude deworming intheir animal health proto-cols because they think it’stoo dry for parasites to sur-vive and transmit to cattle.“Any time cattle are inareas where there aresprings seeping, low areaswhere water collects, orcattle get water from adam or pond, there is anopportunity for parasites,“ says Dr. Mac Devin, pro-fessional service veteri-narian with Boehringer In-gelheim Vetmedica, Inc.“Producers can’t put theirhead in the sand when itcomes to internal parasitecontrol.”Producers many times

think of only dewormingcows in the fall of the year.However, research hasshown that deworming thecow and the calf in thespring of the year helpedincrease weaning weightsup to 49.5 pounds in 26 outof 27 studies conducted,and cows showed in-creased conception ratesin 25 out of 33 studies.

“If cattle have internalparasites, there will al-most always be reducedperformance because par-asites will retard dietaryintake,” says Devin. “De-worming is a widely ac-cepted management prac-tice to improve cattle per-formance.”Devin says transmission

can occur when cattlegraze near fecal pats andthere is adequate moistureon the grass for survival ofthe infective larvae. Inmost areas, optimum timeis spring and fall duelargely to rainfall and hu-midity. For one importantnematode, Ostertagia, cat-tle will pick up the para-site larvae when grazingand the larvae penetrategastric glands when thegrass passes into the ani-mal’s stomach. Larvaeemerge from the gland asan adult and completetheir life cycle.Deworming in the

spring helps reduce pas-ture contamination and re-duces the amount of para-sites passed to the calfwhen they begin grazing.Calves will also benefitfrom deworming if they are

three months or older atthe time of treatment, be-cause they have had timeto pick up parasites whichmay affect performance,adds Devin.“It is important for cat-

tle producers to reduce thenumber of challenges re-placement females andyoung cows are facing,”says Devin. “A replace-ment heifer is continuingto grow and trying to getbred during the earlyspring and summer. It’s thesame for first calf heifersbreeding back for a secondcalf. We expect them tocontinue growing whileraising a calf and breedback for a second calf. Weneed to make sure para-sites are not challengingthem during this time.”Devin recommends that

cattle producers visit withtheir local veterinarian toestablish an effective de-worming program for thewhole herd.“It doesn’t matter if you

run cow-calf pairs or year-ling stocker cattle, the endgoal is improved perform-ance and a deworming pro-gram can help achieve thatgoal,” concludes Devin.

About 33 landowners and ranchers at-tended the riparian workshop organized bythe Flint Hills RC&D and Wabaunsee Coun-ty Extension, on March 25 to learn how tobetter manage ponds, creeks and wood-lands. Themes for the evening included in-troducing basic concepts of riparian areasand stream hydrology, forestry manage-ment, rangeland riparian management,streambank stabilization, and funding op-portunities for rangeland improvement.

Paul Ingle with the Flint Hills RC&Dkicked off the evening explaining theWRAPS (Watershed Restoration and Pro-tection Strategy) process and riparianareas.

A riparian area is defined as the distinctecosystem located around free and un-bound water. Ingle stressed that riparianareas, “Are not wastelands!” They havemultiple functions including removal ofpollutants, trapping of sediment and mois-ture, stabilization of banks and reducingthe energy of streams, along with providewildlife habitat.

Ryan Neis, watershed forester with theLake Region RC&D and the EcotoneForestry Program, explained the impor-tance of trees in riparian areas, forestrymanagement practices, and reforestationstrategies. Carol Blocksome, Kansas StateUniversity, followed this discussion withrangeland riparian area management.

Blocksome overviewed how different to-pography and management practices affecthow cattle influence riparian areas. Shestressed the importance of good rangelandmanagement for positively impacting ripar-ian areas. “Good management can makeabout any system work,” she said.

Removing cattle entirely from riparian

areas is not always the best solution,Rather, Blocksome suggested, manage ri-parian areas as special paddocks (whenpossible) by incorporating flash grazingwhere animals are only in the riparianareas for short periods of time. Also, Block-some suggested maximizing what is attrac-tive about the uplands (high quality pas-ture, alternative water, and mineral feed-ing) to minimize livestock from “camping”in the riparian areas.

Workshop attendees also learned of serv-ices available for managing riparian areas.Brandon Wilson with Osage County FSA in-troduced various CRP options including thenewly available Marginal Pastureland pro-gram which pays livestock owners to fenceout riparian areas and provide an alterna-tive water source along with the addition ofan annual per acre incentive payment. Thisis the first CRP program that does not re-quire a cropping history.

Other services include the Kansas RuralCenter’s Clean Water Farms project, thelocal WRAPS programs, and local Conserva-tion Districts. Contact your local Conserva-tion District office, or Paul Ingle of the FlintHills RC&D at 785-640-2645 or KRC at 785-873-3431 for more information.

Management of riparian areas explained

As the weather beginsto warm up, and you headinto the fields, it is impor-tant to take a moment tocheck the safety of yourfarm equipment. Everyyear, thousands of farmworkers are injured andhundreds more die infarming accidents. And,most farm accidents andfatalities involve machin-ery.

Equipment safety maybe the last thing on yourmind today, but take a fewminutes to make sure yourequipment is safe andspend the money, if need-ed, to repair it — even if it’sjust a little fix. This seem-ingly small step could bethe thing that saves yourlife or someone else’s. Theloss of a family member oremployee is far more cost-ly than the time and moneyit would take to ensureyour equipment is safe tooperate.

Apply this safety check-list to your equipment be-fore spring planting.

Check to see if power-take-off shields are inplace. The guard on anauger should be 2 inches to3 inches distance from theauger itself, and the open-

ings in the guard should beno more than 4.5 inchesapart.

Make sure guards andshields are in place. If youcan’t find the originalguard, have a machineshop make a replacementguard.

Ensure that safety locksare operational.

Check hydraulics forleaks. Replace any hosesthat have been taped tostop or slow leaks. Replacehoses that are leaking fluidor have the external rub-ber layer separated fromthe steel braiding. Replacehoses that have largecracks or gouges.

Make sure brakes ontractor work properly.

Make sure the reflective“Slow Moving Vehicle” sig-nage is in place. “Slow-moving vehicle” signsshould be placed on allequipment that travel theroad at 25 miles per houror less. Replace old, fadedand bent “slow-moving ve-hicle” signs. Wipe signsclean of dirt and mud.

Equip all machinerywith reflectors. Reflectorsvisible from the rearshould be red. Reflectorsvisible from the front

should be amber.Make sure that all

equipment over 13 feetwide has flashing warninglights that work, along withreflectors. Make sure lightsand flashers are workingproperly. Check that turnsignals operate properly.

Make sure that eachtractor, truck, combine orforage harvester has a 20-pound ABC-rated fire ex-tinguisher attached to it.

Ensure that a fullyequipped first aid kit is oneach tractor.

Check that all tires areproperly inflated.

Install approved roll-over protective structures,protective enclosures orprotective frames on trac-tors. According to the Na-tional Safety Council, trac-tor rollovers account formore than half of all on-farm fatalities annually.

Make sure that all em-ployees know who to call incase of an emergency.Keep emergency numbersnear phones; it may also bea good idea to paste a listof key phone numbers in-side tractor cabs (wherethey do not obstruct vision)so the information is avail-able to mobile callers.
