Food bloggers experience agriculture on Kansas Food Farm ...

By Donna Sullivan, EditorSeven Kansas City food

bloggers had the opportuni-ty to head west and experi-ence Kansas agricultureand food products October15-17. Kansas Farm Bu-reau and Kansas Soybeanpartnered on the KansasFood Farm Tour, whichbegan at a basil farm inBasehor and went as farwest as the McCarty Dairyin Rexford before heading

back through Salina to visitthe Smoky Hill Winery andHank Charcuterie, a Lawr-ence restaurant specializingin charcuterie productsmade from Kansas-raisedanimals that are butcheredin-house, before boardingthe bus to head back toKansas City. Stops in be-tween included the GoodFarm in Olsburg, wherethey heard about heritagepork production followed

by at the Mertz Farm,where they experienced agourmet meal of locallysourced food prepared byRuss Loub of Little AppleBrewing Company. MaryMertz also described theirfamily’s involvement inagri-tourism, includingtheir Feast of the Fieldevent held each yearin June. From there theytraveled to McPherson fora visit to the Sawyer

Farm. The next morningthey traveled to Scott Cityfor lunch and a tour atNu-Life, followed bywatching sorghum beingharvested.Angela Muir, whose

blog is called Handmade inthe Heartland, was im-pressed by what she saw atGood Farm, and the careeach of their hogs received.She reflected on how theword “feedlot” conjures up

negative images in today’spopular culture. “The porkfarmer said that we wouldconsider these pens or lots,but they’re definitely notas scary and horrible aswhat you might imagine.They’re outside in specificareas, but they’re not smallby any means.” She appre-ciated the way he usedthe well-being of the ani-mal to gauge its health.“They’re growing and

they’re healthy, so there’s agood environment there,”she said.Chelsea Fanders, who

writes a blog calledWhatcha Makin’ Now, wasamazed at all the care thatgoes into growing basil andthoroughly enjoyed herfarm visits. “It’s so muchfun to see great peopledoing what they’re passion-ate about and giving us agreat product,” she said.

By Donna Sullivan, EditorWith funding from indus-

try donations and KansasState University’s Depart-ment of Animal Sciencesand Industry, the K-StateSwine Teaching and Re-search Center recentlyadded a new 140x33’ nurs-ery building to its facilities.While not increasing thefarm inventory, the newbuilding is expected tomake better use of existingbarn space for teaching andresearch. It will housenewly weaned piglets fromweaning to twelve weeksold. Under the old system,nursery pigs were moved toa “grower” barn so the nextgroup of weaned piglets

could go into the nursery. Itis anticipated the changewill provide better teachingcapabilities for undergradu-ate and graduate students, aswell as better opportunitiesfor nutritional research forpigs weighing between 50-80 pounds.The new facility includes

86 pens that can each holdup to five pigs and a con-necting hallway to the far-rowing barn and nurseryrooms. There is a 16x33’feed room for bagged re-search diet feed and twobulk feed bins for standardnursery feed. A hangingfloor scale can weigh entirepens of pigs.A mechanical ventilation

system includes ceiling in-lets for incoming air, twonatural gas heaters and mul-tiple exhaust fans to removeroom moisture and increaseair flow for cooling purpos-es. Easily adjustable feedersin each pen provide a steadyflow of fresh feed and eachpen includes individualnipple-waterers. Total costfor the facility was$360,000.“The Kansas Pork Asso-

ciation has been supportingthe K-State Swine Team’smission of providing re-search results to help thestate’s pig farmers for manyyears,” said Tim Stroda,KPA president-CEO, in theKPA newsletter. “Our farm-

ers recognize the impor-tance of facilities that allowresearch to be completed inbuildings similar to thosebeing used in the industry.”According to Joel DeR-

ouchey, KSU professor andExtension specialist, the re-search done at the swineunit focuses mainly on feedand ingredient evaluationsuch as wheat and distiller’sgrains ¬– ingredients com-monly used by Kansas pro-ducers. “We also do a lot offeed processing researchwith the grain science groupthat has a brand new feedmill,” he said. “Looking atparticle size, pellet diets,various ways to use a feedmill and then feed it to the

pigs to improve efficiencyand profitability. We reallyspend a lot of time on thewhole nutrient requirementsto formulate those diets cor-rectly so ultimately the pigsperform the best they canfor producers.”One type of research that

isn’t done at the swine farmis PEDv studies, as so farthe virus has not affectedtheir herd. They do partnerwith the vet school andwork in conjunction withIowa State University tostudy the virus. “But as faras the swine farm, we’redoing everything we can tokeep PEDv out,” De-Rouchey said.It’s the ten to twelve

graduate and six to eight un-dergraduate students thatconduct their research at thefarm each year that De-Rouchey believes will havethe biggest impact on theswine industry in Kansas.“With the new unit we

have the same equipmentthat any new, modern com-mercial-sized facility wouldhave,” he said. “So we’reable to utilize it for teachingon modern equipment. Ulti-mately that research helpstrain those students to go outand help producers in theircareers as they are in feedcompanies or other industrypositions. Then that re-search helps our Kansasproducers.”

Food bloggers experience agriculture on Kansas Food Farm Tour

Russ Loub of Little Apple Brewing Company described the locally sourced meal thebloggers were about to enjoy, which included braised shoulder of lamb from theMertz farm, salad greens from Southside Gardens in Manhattan and bread fromRadina’s in Manhattan, which is made from Kansas flour.

The Mertz family welcomed the bloggers to RiverCreek Farms for lunch as they journeyed across thestate making the farm-to-fork connection.

By John Schlageck,Kansas Farm BureauAs the 2014 election

races toward the finishline on Nov. 4, candidatesfrom both parties havestooped to their old tricksof slinging mud, name-call-ing and finger-pointing atone another. Why can’tcandidates do what’s rightfor this nation and focus onissues?

Instead we are forced toput up with elected offi-cials who grow the govern-ment, do nothing and en-gage in gridlock.

What Kansas and thisnation sorely needs isleadership and a willing-ness among all elected of-ficials to work together for

the good of this country.What do you think the

framers of our constitutionand this republic wouldsay about what’s going onin all three branches ofgovernment today?

What would Washing-ton, Hamilton and Jeffer-son think about our way ofconducting the nation’sbusiness?

What would Kansas’sown favorite son, DwightD. Eisenhower, say aboutthe way we’re conductingthis state and country’sbusiness today?

What would Ike, AlfLandon, Andy Schoeppeland other Kansas leadersof yesteryear think?

Profound?Enlightening?Telling?Absolutely.Where are the ideas for

leading this great state andnation?

Isn’t that what they’resupposed to be doing?

Farmers, ranchers andbusinessmen cannot, and

do not want to engage inthe same game of blamingone party for the charadegoing on in Washingtonand among some of ourown state leaders. This is ashared shame and a weak-ness that is ruining ourstate and nation.

In spite of claims to thecontrary, taxes continue toincrease. The only way forthe tax-and-spend cycle tobe broken is to hold candi-dates accountable. The cit-izenry of Kansas and thiscountry must demand can-didates clearly state theirpositions on the issues.

Today’s politicians andthe majority of the candi-dates have become soadept at ducking the is-sues. They rival a youngMuhammad Ali’s ability tofloat like a butterfly, al-ways out of reach and ac-countability.

Not only do votersrarely have a chance to askcandidates questions, theyhave even less chance ofreceiving a worthwhile an-swer.

Some candidates alsotalk out of both sides oftheir mouth. They tell onegathering of voters onething and others just theopposite.

They also barrage vot-ers with wave after wave of

rhetoric, hoping to obscuretheir real views. They’renot called politicians fornothing.

At the end of the day,this year’s election is justaround the corner. Whe-ther we like what’s beenhappening in governmentor not, the mess we’re inremains our own.

It’s our system, andwhile it may appear bro-ken, we still must vote.Past elections demonstraterural voters can make adifference by their willing-ness to go to the polls.

Fiscal responsibility, areduction in the size ofgovernment and increasedproductivity remain asound prescription for thiscountry’s economic trou-bles. The bigger problemof cooperation and com-promise while working to-gether for the good of thiscountry must be addressedas well if these remediesare to work.

Urge your friends, fami-ly and neighbors to casttheir votes Nov. 4.

Grass & Grain, October 21, 2014

I think I have hit a time warp andbeen transported back in time. Howdo I know? Well, the Royals look likeone of the best teams in baseballand are playing baseball well intoOctober. That alone should beenough proof, but there is more evi-dence. Corn and gas are both be-low $3.00. Maybe all those shows onTVland are not reruns. Excuse mefor a minute while I go check to seeif I still have my high school diplo-ma.

I don’t know if being transportedback into the '80s would be all badeither. Think about it. None of uswould have our smart phones. Wemight actually communicate face-to-face. No more firing off an e-mail oreven worse, a text. If you want to tellsomeone something, you would haveto either physically travel to wherethey are or at least pick up a landline telephone and call them. I bet itwould cut down on the number ofangry outbursts and misunder-standing.

No cell phones would mean lessdistracted driving and better plan-ning. No more worrying about hav-ing reception because there is none.I have often wondered if being inconstant contact with everyone is agood thing. No more interruptionsduring meetings or people answeringtheir phones during a movie. Theworld would be a much more courte-ous place.

Going back in time would alsonot have the internet and I am al-most positive that would be a goodthing. Sure, I would miss not havingall that information at my fingertips.However, it would also be muchharder to spread misinformation.Before the internet we didn’t seem tohave so many “experts” and we wor-ried about our business instead ofgetting involved in everyone else’s.Thanks to the internet we can findany supposed fact or research topromote any idea we can think of,regardless of the truth.

That also harkens back to a timewith no social media. How did wecommunicate or keep up on oldfriends? Oh yeah, we actually visitedthem or at least called them on thephone. Okay, so keeping up with old

acquaintances via social media isnot so bad but there are plenty ofother things that aren’t so good. Itwould also be much harder tospread gossip, lies and rumors.Campaigns would require morethought and be much less anony-mous. Maybe candidates would runon their stands on issues and notwho can smear who with the mostdirt, maybe we would actually try tobe more informed on the issues asvoters too.

Wow, do I sound like ArchieBunker as I sit here in my easy chairand pontificate about how good theold days were? Maybe I have reachedthe point of being an old codger. I domiss the days of less instant com-munication, more face-to-face inter-action and a lot less connectivity. Iam sure the world was not a betterplace back then; we just thought itwas because we didn’t know any bet-ter.

Much like the genie we can’t putit back into the bottle. This is theworld we live in and it is only goingto get smaller in the future. We mustlearn how to live in it because disap-pearing into the wilderness and be-coming a hermit really isn’t an op-tion for most of us. I am not surehow we promote less reliance onelectronics and more interactionwith fellow humans. We need to feelmore comfortable with communityand relationships than anonymityand invisibility.

I have heard that our addictionto technology and specifically oursmart phones is akin to substanceaddiction and I have no doubt (basedon personal experience) that is anaccurate assessment. I know it willbe painful but we need to shut downthe electronic devices, look someonein the eye and start an actual con-versation. Then we will regain theenjoyment of human, face-to-face in-teraction.

So pardon me while I turn off mycomputer, put down my smartphone, and turn off the TV. I will fireup the old AM radio, listen to DennyMatthews and the static call a Roy-als playoff game and pretend that itis the early 80s again. I just hope Ididn’t forget to do any homework.

Vote November 4

Barbara Donovan, TuttleCreek Water RestorationAnd Protection Strategy(WRAPS) coordinator, an-nounced that an additional$153,568 has been awardedto Tuttle Creek WRAPS toconstruct additional streambank stabilization projectsin Marshall and Washingtoncounties. This fundingcomes from the KDHE Bu-reau of Water as a mecha-nism to assist in carryingout Kansas’ Nutrient Re-duction Framework. KDHEsupports the efforts in re-ducing phosphorous andsedimentation in the BigBlue and Little Blue riversfeeding into the TuttleCreek reservoir.

Donovan stated: “OurFastTrack stream bank sta-bilization projects take onlya couple of months to con-

struct. Six projects havebeen completed since May.These additional funds justtripled our cost sharemonies available to ourlandowners. This particularfunding focuses on the top30 stream bank projects. Ihave been working withthese identified landown-ers during this past year indetermining their interestlevel in obtaining 60% ofcost share funds from TuttleCreek WRAPS. The land-owner pays 40% of the proj-ect cost. Several completedstream bank sites havebeen featured in themedia.”

Some of the completedprojects will be featured atthe Governor’s Water Con-ference in Manhattan onNovember 12 and 13th atthe Sheraton Conference

Center. Donovan noted that“Everyone’s support and ef-forts are truly appreciated.This is indeed an excitingtime for Tuttle CreekWRAPS and our many part-ners.”

Tuttle Creek WRAPS isthe second highest priorityarea in the state of Kansas.It is also one of the mostcost- effectively runWRAPS groups and has re-ceived national recognitionfor its Nine Element Planwhich was approved byKDHE and the EPA. TuttleCreek WRAPS is sponsoredby Glacial Hills RC &D (Re-source Conservation & De-velopment), a non-profit or-ganization based in Wet-more.

No-till on the Plains,Inc. will host a no-till fieldday for producers to gain abetter understanding of theimportance of soil health byutilizing continuous no-tillcropping systems and covercrops. Members of themedia and the general pub-lic are also invited. Thisevent is being sponsored bythe Kansas Alliance forWetlands and Streams, theMarion Reservoir WRAPSproject and the MarionCounty Farm Bureau Asso-ciation. No-till on thePlains is pleased to offerthis high-quality education-al event to all interestedproducers.The Whirlwind No-till

Expo will take place onMonday, November 3, be-ginning promptly at 8:30a.m. at the Marion Commu-nity Center, 203 N. 3rd St..The day will begin with aRainfall Simulator demon-stration followed by a tourof local fields utilizing var-ious cover crops. The high-light of the morning fea-tures a soil pit where partic-ipants can examine soilcharacteristics in both long-term no-till and conven-tional till environments.

Lunch will be provided atthe Marion CommunityCenter, followed by a fullafternoon of knowledge-able speakers. A $20 regis-tration fee is required forattendance. Featured speak-ers are University of Ne-braska-Lincoln Extensionengineer Paul Jasa who is agreat source of informationin the Midwest on no-tillplanting equipment andsystem management; GregScott, professional soil sci-entist and soils expert fromTryon, Oklahoma; StarSeed agronomist and covercrop expert Dale Strickler;Continuous no-till produc-ers Ryan Speer from Hal-stead and Josh Lloyd fromOak Hill will present infor-mation about their opera-tions, cropping rotations,including how they usecover crops for soil healthand weed control.No-till farming systems

offer several advantages toproducers willing to imple-ment the system. Fewertrips across fields withouttillage passes will reducefuel costs. Increasing cropsin rotations will break weedand insect pest cycles. In-creased crop residue and

root systems will increasesoil organic matter and mi-crobiological activity,thereby increasing the pro-ductiveness and fertility ofthe soil. Implemented in asite-specific systems ap-proach, no-till will, over-time, outperform conven-tional tillage.Each year No-till on

the Plains hosts field days,bus tours and the annualWinter Conference for pro-ducers to gain valuable no-

till information. “We’restriving to meet our missionto be a primary resource forno-till information and asupport network for pro-ducers,” says Ryan Speer,No-till on the Plains presi-dent.For more information on

Whether you are gettingyour fresh fruits and veggiesfrom the store, farmers’ mar-ket or your own garden, it’salways a challenge to figureout the best way to storethem so they don’t turnbrown or become limp orwilted. Here are some help-ful tips on how to store youfruits and vegetables to max-imize their freshness andshelf life.

Fresh vegetables remainfresh longest in a moist envi-ronment. They should bestored in the crispers withthe control on the "vegeta-bles" setting. If the crispersare full, store vegetables inplastic bags or plastic con-tainers to prevent moistureloss.

Most vegetables shouldbe stored in the refrigeratorto preserve freshness. Ex-ceptions include potatoes,sweet potatoes, matureonions, hard-rind squashes,eggplant and rutabagas,which keep well in coolrather than cold storage.Tomatoes should be refrig-erated only after they arefully ripe and only for ashort time.

Store vegetables and fruitsin separate crisper drawers

The crisper drawers trapmoisture inside to help keepfoods fresh. Moisture con-trols on some crisper draw-ers can be used to regulatethe moisture level in thecrisper. As a general rule,vegetables require highmoisture storage and fruitslow moisture, Refer to theUser's Guide for directionson setting the crisper con-trol. The crispers in a refrig-

erator will perform better ifthey are at least two-thirdsfull.

Wrap certainvegetables and fruits

Storage in the crispersslows the dehydration offresh vegetables. In addi-tion, leafy vegetables, suchas lettuce and spinach,should be placed in plasticbags or airtight containers(Tupperware, Rubbermaid,etc.) to reduce moisture loss.Odorous foods such as pep-pers and cabbage should al-ways be wrapped to containodors. Mushrooms should bestored in paper bags ratherthan plastic. Some fruits dobest in vented storage bags.

Remove excess moistureVegetables and fruits

need a certain amount ofmoisture to remain fresh aslong as possible. However,too much moisture canshorten the storage of veg-etables, especially lettuce.Brown spots may developwith excess moisture. It isimportant that lettuce bewell drained before storing.It may be helpful to place alayer of paper towels in thebottom of the bag to absorbany excess moisture; re-place the toweling occasion-ally. Some storage contain-ers feature a specialdrainage device to raise thelettuce off the bottom andkeep it from sitting in accu-mulated moisture. Berriesshould never be washed be-fore storing.

Maintain properrefrigerator temperaturesThe fresh food compart-

ment of a refrigeratorshould be kept between 34°

and 40°F with an optimumtemperature of 37°F. Refrig-erator temperatures can bechecked by using an appli-ance thermometer. Lowerthan recommended refriger-ator temperatures couldcause vegetables to freeze.Freezing damages cell struc-ture and vegetables can turnbrown and become limp.

Consider vegetableand fruit quality

Vegetable and fruit qual-ity affects the length of stor-age. Quality can vary fromitem to item, variety to vari-ety, and season to season.For example, a rainy grow-ing season can cause lettuceto be brown when pur-chased, or become brownmore quickly. Sort vegeta-bles and fruits before stor-age and use bruised or softvegetables and fruits first.Discard those showing evi-dence of decay. Wilted veg-etables can be used to makebroths, and wilted fruits canmake sauces.

Follow length-of-storageguidelines

Following the guidelinesshould help to keep vegeta-bles and fruits fresh andmaximize their storage timein the refrigerator. Consultthe food storage chart anduse items within recom-mended refrigerator storagetime. Vegetables storedlonger than recommendedwill also turn brown andlose their crispness. Fruitscan lose their crisp sweetflavor if stored too long or inimproper conditions.

By Lou Ann Thomas"Are you OK?" my

friend Babs Spelnekasked.

"Sure. Why?" I replied."Well, you're here ...",

she said.I was meeting Babs for

coffee at a local bookstoreand my friend had shownup to find me in the self-help section.

"I just happened towander in here. I wasn'tlooking for anything inparticular," I quickly said,justifying my location.

And that was the truth.But this wasn't new terri-tory for me. I've been lostin the self-help section be-fore. During parts of mylife journey that havebeen bumpier than others,I've read a number of thebooks on these veryshelves.

Here you can find vol-umes to help you deal

with just about every-thing. There are bookscovering how to copewith change as well aswith being in a rut. Thereare books on how to de-velop psychic powers,leadership, inner peace,happiness, intelligence, aswell as ones on how toovercome depression,anxiety, guilt, and a widerange of phobias.

Babs and I soon gotinto the spirit of exploringthe human psyche andcondition through the ti-tles lining the shelves. Igrabbed "The Procrasti-nator's Handbook."

"Wouldn't it be funny ifthis one was blank," Isaid. We both chuckled atthe irony, but sadly it was-n't. Instead, it contained adozen chapters about howto plan and execute astrategy to overcome that

nuisance -- procrastina-tion.

"I'll read this one later,"I said, not meaning to befunny, but instead feelinguncomfortable holding abook that addressed thevery reason I was meetingBabs in the first place --with a deadline looming, Iwas putting off work andhated being reminded thatthe blank computer screenwould still be there whenI returned home.

"Here's the one youneed," Babs said in an ex-cited voice a bit louderthan usually heard inbookstores.

I reached for the bookthat she was gleefullyholding out to me -- "KissMy Tiara -- How to Rulethe World as a SmartassGoddess."

"Wow, Babs, you thinkI'm a goddess?" I proudlyasked.

"Well, no, but you'recertainly a smartass," shereplied.

"It takes one to knowone," I said as I headed tothe coffee shop, but notbefore making a mentalnote to return for "TheProcrastinator's Hand-book."

After all, we can all usea little help now and then.

Storage tips for freshfruits and vegetables

1867 was a transforma-tive year in the state ofKansas. The Union PacificRailway, Eastern Divisionwas rapidly building thefirst railroad that wouldeventually cross the state toDenver, Colorado. Townssprung up like sunflowersin the disturbed prairie sod.The railroad incursion intothe prized hunting lands ofplains tribes was the ulti-mate insult. A renewed re-sistance led by theCheyenne brought bloodywar to the plains.

As the Indian war of 1867escalated, men of peacewere working behind thescenes to bring the Indian

question to a quiet end. TheIndian Peace Commission,which had been meeting inSt. Louis, Missouri, arrivedin Kansas in October. Rep-resentatives to the Commis-sion were a combination ofmilitary men, politiciansand civilians.

Throughout the laterpart of the summer negotia-tions were carried out be-tween frontiersmen andplains Indians. Groups ofComanche, Cheyenne, andothers met at JesseChisholm’s trading post atthe mouth of the LittleArkansas River (Wichita).Texas cattle and wild bandsof Indians intermingled on

the new highway that wouldone day be known asChisholm’s Trail. Through-out the turmoil and thehope for peace, men gath-ered in railroad camps allalong the new line penetrat-ing through central Kansas.Quite naturally many of thecamps were run with a cer-tain amount of civic design,although often without anexacting name or knowndate of origin. Thomas Fitz-patrick worked for a grad-ing crew bossed by hisbrother William. “Althoughhe allowed a sutler in thecamp, my brother would notpermit a town to be builtnearer than one mile fromits edge. Towns always fol-lowed the constructioncamps in those days, withgamblers, loose women, andcrooks of all descriptions tofleece the workers of theirwages…The towns wereramshackle affairs, mostlywalled tents that could betaken down and loaded onwagons as the railroadgrade built westward. Theylined a wide street, theirunpainted sides shimmer-ing in the heat, dull grayfrom the swirling dust thatstirred with the almost

never quiet wind and thebeating hoofs of drunkenriders horses.”

Passenger service com-menced at Hays City, Octo-ber 15, 1867. The railroadwas steadily advancingwestward in spite of Indianattacks upon isolated work-ers. To the south a greatgathering was coming to-gether at Medicine LodgeCreek to negotiate a peacetreaty between the UnitedStates government and fiveof the plains tribes, namely,the Arapaho, Comanche,Prairie Apache, Kiowa, and

Cheyenne. George Bent de-scribed the scene in hisbook, Life of George Bent.“The great camp was in abeautiful hollow throughwhich flowed MedicineLodge Creek, with its lovelywooded banks. This was afavorite place for the sum-mer medicine-making of theIndians and also for theirwinter camps.” Approxi-mately five thousand Indi-ans were in camp. Indianponies covered the hills andvalleys. Around six hun-dred men represented theUnited States, supported by

211 vehicles and 1250.Theodore Davis, special

artist for the New HarpersMonthly Magazine reportedhis exploits on the plains,noting the complexity of theproblem of gaining a lastingpeace with the plainstribes, “There are many oldchiefs who prefer peace,but the young men are in-variably for war. The chiefscannot control the ‘bucks,’who take the war-path asnaturally as the quail doesthe bushes or the youngducks the sedge.” Davis alsonoted that many old fron-

Governor’s Water Conference in Manhattan to focuson meeting the state’s current and future needs

For two days in Septem-ber, Kansas State Universi-ty’s Department of Agrono-my and K-State Researchand Extension hosted someof the top soybean re-searchers and agronomistsfrom the southern U.S.

The scientists learnedabout the challenges andopportunities of soybeanproduction in Kansas andthe attendees on the South-ern Soybean Breeders’ Touralso provided the K-Statefaculty with insights intowhat private and public soy-bean breeders in otherareas are doing, said BillSchapaugh, K-State soybeanbreeder and one of the tourorganizers.

“This was a special eventfor Kansas,” Schapaughsaid. “This annual tour hasbeen going on for decades,but it has always been host-ed by soybean breeders inone of the southern U.S.states. It had never beenheld in Kansas. This year, itwas our privilege to team upwith breeders and agrono-mists from DuPont Pioneerand Monsanto to develop aprogram for the tour inKansas.”

Attendees comprised adiverse group – from breed-ers to production agrono-mists, entomologists, andeducators; from graduatestudents in their first yearof study to breeders withmore than 40 years of expe-rience. Most of the partici-pants came from the south-ern U.S., but several re-searchers from Nebraska,Iowa, Illinois, and Missourialso joined the tour.

“We wanted to giveeveryone a good perspectiveon what’s happening inKansas with soybeans, bothresearch activities in plantbreeding and genetics andon-farm production. To dothis, we arranged for severalstops at diverse locations. Itwas a very intense but en-joyable and informative twodays,” Schapaugh said.

The group began the tourwith a trip to the DuPont Pi-oneer Soybean BreedingStation near Lawrence, ledby Les Kuhlman, DuPont Pi-oneer soybean breeder.

“At our first stop, we fo-cused on soybean geneticdiversity. That’s a big issue

in soybean breeding. Genet-ic diversity is what drivesthe improvement in soybeanvarieties. We have to devel-op varieties that are betterthan what we have now, andgenetic diversity is requiredto accomplish that goal,”Schapaugh said.

The group toured a plotwhere Pioneer breeders areevaluating lines for soybeansudden death syndrome re-sistance. In the KansasRiver Valley and irrigatedlocations in Kansas, there’squite a bit of SDS this year,Schapaugh said.

“We had multiple presen-tations on the tour focusingon SDS. This stop at Pio-neer’s facility focused on thegenetic side of the issue,”the K-State soybean breedersaid. “They had literallythousands of different geno-types in the field. We couldsee severe SDS symptoms inthe field, but not every geno-type was affected. Some hadno symptoms.

There have always beendifferences in genetic re-sistance among soybean va-rieties, but there is not yet ahigh enough level of resist-ance to help protect com-pletely from this disease. Pi-oneer and other companiesare working on this, Scha-paugh said.

The group then visitedthe Monsanto-Edmonds soy-bean variety plots near

Lawrence.“Robin and Jane Ed-

monds cooperate with Mon-santo in establishing testplots across the region onproducers’ fields. This givesthe company a good per-spective on how current va-rieties perform in differentenvironments in northeastKansas. It was interesting toget the Edmonds’ perspec-tive on the needs and chal-lenges of farming inKansas,” Schapaugh said.

The next stop was at theKansas River Valley Experi-ment Field near Rossvillewhere SDS and soybean cystnematodes were discussed.Chris Little, K-State plantpathologist, discussed hisresearch on environmentalfactors involved in SDS de-velopment. Little is studyingthe interaction between soilmoisture, soil temperature,soil oxygen content, soybeanstage of development, andSDS severity.

Another K-State plantpathologist, Tim Todd,spoke about his work onSCN diversity and the impli-cations for soybean manage-ment. SDS and SCN are twoseparate problems, but al-most always occur together,Schapaugh said.

Eric Adee, agronomist-in-charge at the River Val-ley field, talked about hisresearch into seed treat-ment control of SDS and

Fusarium, the organism thatcauses the disease. Adeehas found beneficial resultsin reducing losses to SDSfrom a new experimentalseed treatment from BayerCropScience.

The group also visitedMonsanto’s test plots at theRiver Valley field. Monsan-to’s Roger Olson, MollyDrimmel, and Craig Mootsdiscussed the new RoundupReady Extend lines being

tested in Kansas.The second day, the

group visited K-State’s re-search plots near Assaria inSaline County. These plots,on the fields of producer-co-operator Clayton Short, are

part of an abiotic stressproject funded by the Unit-ed Soybean Board. VaraPrasad, K-State crop physi-ologist, and Schapaugh aretwo of the more than 20 re-searchers across the coun-try working on this USBproject.

“At this site in SalineCounty, there’s always thepotential for drought andheat stress every year, sothat’s the focus of our re-search here,” Schapaughsaid.

Tommy Carter, USDA-ARS at North Carolina StateUniversity and overall coor-dinator of the USB project,and Neal Hageman, withUSB, discussed the re-search being done here andaround the country on abiot-ic stress in soybeans. Genet-ic and genomic strategies toimprove soybean responseto abiotic stresses were dis-cussed by Grover Shannonand Raymond Mutava, Uni-

versity of Missouri.Schapaugh spoke about

his team’s work in spectralreflectance and canopy tem-perature to more quicklyand cheaply identify desir-able genotypes in the breed-ing process in both stressedand non-stressed environ-ments.

“Remote sensing andhigh-throughput phenotyp-ing are areas of expertisebeing developed at K-State.This new technology isbeing tested not only in oursoybean breeding program,but also in the wheat andsorghum breeding programsat K-State,” Schapaugh said.

The group had lunch atRannells Ranch, the De-partment of Agronomy’stallgrass prairie researchsite near Manhattan. Clen-ton Owensby, K-State rangemanagement scientist,talked about the importanceof the prairie ecosystem.

At the Agronomy North

Farm in Manhattan, K-Stateagronomists talked aboutcropping systems researchand management of soy-beans. Kraig Roozeboom,crop production agrono-mist, and graduate studentBryson Haverkamp ex-plained their research inhigh-yield soybean manage-ment systems. Jeff Whit-worth, K-State Researchand Extension entomolo-gist, discussed the dectessoybean borer and othersoybean insect problems inKansas. Prasad and gradu-ate students Nan An andKyle Shroyer presentedtheir research into droughtand heat stress, utilizingrainout shelters, heat tents,and remote sensing technol-ogy at the North Farm.

The tour ended with twostops that delved deeperinto the genetic side ofbreeding. K-State plantpathologists Xu “Kevin”

You have to be tough totrail three horses over 400miles from Rapid City,South Dakota to Sioux City,Iowa to compete in a worldchampionship relay race

and a chance to win twothousand dollars. James“Russ” Madison Jr. thoughtthe prize money was worththe long ride, so he saddledup, and leading two horses,

headed to Iowa to competein the race and try for thegrand prize. It was a fewyears after he was married,in December of 1900 thatMadison left for Iowa. Thetough cowboy already had areputation as a top hand onthe Circle Bar Ranch out-side of Rapid City riding therough stock and the prizemoney would help his grow-ing family.

It was a thirty-five-milerace and each rider coulduse three horses to coverthe distance. Madison wonthe race and made the longride home with his pocketsjingling with prize money.

Russ Madison was bornin Iowa in 1879. His father,“Pap” Madison, had come toSouth Dakota in 1876 search-ing for gold and settled inthe Black Hills. He movedhis family from Iowa in 1886.They came by train to Buffa-lo Gap and then boarded astage coach to Rapid City.Russ was seven when he ar-rived in South Dakota.

He went to work when hewas 12 years old for PeterLemley, owner of the CircleBar Ranch, near the Madis-ons’ home. The Circle Barran 3,000 head of horses thatranged from Custer to FortPierre, South Dakota, en-compassing a 200-mile area.Young Madison worked withthe horses and was soonbreaking and training them.He had a lot of horses towork and was becoming acompetent bronc buster. Helearned his trade well andafter three years, he wasbreaking horses for the U. S.Army. By the time he was 15,he was known as a “TopHand.” His reputation as abronc buster grew and at 17,he was entrusted to break100 head of horses for theUBI Ranch near Rapid City.

It appears Madisonworked for Peter Lemley foreight years. In December of1890 the Wounded KneeMassacre took place on thePine Ridge Indian Reserva-tion. Lemley was a member

of the Civilian Militia andmade a trip to the massacresite in January soon afterthe massacre. While therehe met the Army scout,William F. Cody, (“BuffaloBill”), who was putting onWild West shows. They be-came friends and Lemleyeventually secured a con-tract to supply stock for oneof Buffalo Bill’s Wild Westshows in Watertown, SouthDakota in 1899. Russ Madi-son helped trail the horsesacross the Badlands andthen rode broncs in theshow. Madison managed toride “Blue Dog,” a broncthat had never been riddenbefore. Buffalo Bill was im-pressed with the youngsterand offered him a job tour-ing with the show.

The seed was plantedand Madison returned homewith money in his pocketsand the dream of rodeo per-formances in the West. Thatsame year, he staged a pub-lic saddle bronc exhibitionin downtown Rapid City.

His granddaughter, Ma-vis Madison, recalled, “Aman who was there bet himthat he couldn’t hold a sil-ver dollar between his bootand the stirrup without los-ing it before the end of theride,” Mavis said. “He tookthe bet and the horsebucked so hard and wildthat it went right throughthe front window of HaynesClothing store, and rightback out. And, believe it ornot, through the whole ride,he never lost that silver dol-lar.” In the early 1900s hewent on tour with BuffaloBill’s Wild West shows. Healso began gathering buck-ing stock for rodeos. Many ofthe horses were gatheredfrom the wild horse herd inthe South Dakota Badlands.They were said to be thetoughest bucking horses inthe country. In 1917, hebegan a 30-year career as arodeo stock contractor andpromoter. He trailed hisstock, including broncs,bulls and steers, to rodeos

Harold Trick, profes-sor, talked about K-Stateresearch in soybean im-provement through genet-ic transformation.

“Probably the mostbeneficial aspect of thisevent was the amount oftime we had to interactand discuss soybean is-sues among ourselves.”Schapaugh said. “I found

out a lot about what’sgoing on in the industry.And those in private in-dustry and other universi-ties found out what we aredoing at K-State. Wetalked about ways to im-prove what we’re doing,”he added.

“Mr. Rodeo” —James “Russ” Madison, Jr.

Kennedy and Coe, LLC, a leading U.S.agricultural accounting and consultingfirm, welcomes John Moenius as a managerin the firm’s Lenexa office. In this role,John taps 30 years of financial acumen—asfinancial analyst, treasurer, credit manag-er, and CFO—to address the current issuesfacing equipment dealerships. With a pas-sion for equipment and horsepower, Moe-nius balances the financial realities of alow margin-high inventory business to in-crease equipment dealership performanceby optimizing operational structure, finan-cial controls, and asset management.

Moenius understands margin and inven-tory impacts from working with equipmentdealers such as Caterpillar and JohnDeere, both nationally and internationally.His CFO point of view results in proactive-ly identifying metrics, industry trends, mar-ket demands, and key performance indica-

tors that help dealers achieve a better bot-tom line.

“John’s knowledge of the equipmentbusiness is a tremendous asset. His famil-iarity with the industry’s cycles and chal-lenges lets him quickly identify financialstrategies to improve their profitability,”says Marc Johnson, a principal withKennedy and Coe.

Prior to joining Kennedy and Coe, Moe-nius was president at Coventry Partners,LLC in Prairie Village, and CEO at Heart-land Farm and Lawn in Higginsville, Mo.He received an MBA in finance from Rock-hurst University in Kansas City, Mo. and hisbachelor’s degree in business from the Uni-versity of Kansas in Lawrence. Moeniusteaches corporate finance as an adjunctprofessor at Rockhurst University and is aretired captain of the United States AirForce.

in South Dakota and neigh-boring states.

Madison produced thefirst professional rodeos inSouth Dakota includingDeadwood’s “Days of 76”which was voted “Best Mid-Size Outdoor Rodeo in theU.S.” by the PRCA, the Tri-State Round-Up which laterbecame the Black HillsRound-Up in Belle Fourcheand the Range Days Rodeoin Rapid City. He also pro-duced rodeos in Wyoming,Montana, North Dakota andNebraska. Madison pro-duced rodeos from the lateteens into the 1940s. He sup-plied the livestock and inmany instances, he put onthe entire show. The Madi-son name is synonymouswith rodeo in South Dakota

and he became known as“Mr. Rodeo.”

Russ Madison had pur-chased a homestead in 1907and grazed his stock thereuntil acquiring anotherranch five miles south alongBox Elder Creek. He namedit the Diamond S and hostedthe first rodeos in SouthDakota. The Diamond S isstill home to Madison familymembers today. It is listedin the National HistoricRegistry and in 2003 waslisted in the South DakotaHistoric Registry. Today itwelcomes visitors and pro-vides western hospitalitysteeped with South Dakotarodeo history.

Russ Madison’s DiamondS is still a working ranch.The main ranch house was

once a rodeo cowboy guestlodge and was home to rodeogreats of a bygone era. Suchgreats as Casey Tibbs, JackBuschbom and Jim Shoul-ders have called it home.Madison Ranch visitorsenjoy the unique experienceof being part of rodeo histo-ry knowing the ranch wasonce home to rodeo legends.

Russ Madison’s grand-daughter, Mavis Madison,recounted an early memoryof her grandfather. She wasa toddler when he broughtthe first Brahma bull toSouth Dakota for his rodeostock. He took her out tolook at the bull. “I remem-ber he got down on one kneeand askedme what I thoughtof the new Brahma bull. Ithought it was bizarre-look-

ing but didn’t want to tellhim that. He was sure proudof that strange-looking ani-mal.”

Russ Madison’s rodeobroncs were the best manycowboys and fans had everseen and they lent extra ex-citement to a Madisonrodeo. They were rank andreliable buckers like “AngelSing,” “Battlefield,” “Boom-erang,” “Headlight,” “May-be” and “Stormy Weather.”There was also “Co-manche”. He was the best ofall and he was unridable.

In 1936, Russ offered abeautiful two-foot-tall silvertrophy to any cowboy whocould ride him to the whis-tle. After five years with nowinners, Madison figuredthe horse had earned thetrophy and retired him. Thesilver trophy honors “Co-manche” yet today. It is dis-played with rodeo memora-bilia at the High PlainsWestern Heritage Centernear Spearfish, South Dako-ta. “Comanche” lived a longlife, dying in 1959 at the ageof 33.

James “Russ” Madisonwas inducted into the SouthDakota Cowboy andWesternHeritage Hall of Fame in1986 and the Rodeo Histori-cal Society’s Hall of Fame inOklahoma City in 2012 andwas further honored as theDirector’s Choice inductee.

Russ Madison died in1956 in Rapid City at the ageof 77. He was a rodeo legendand every inch a cowboy.

As fall progresses intowinter and harvest comesto a close, crop producersmight want to considerplanning their future croprotations, crop mixes andirrigation use. The increas-ing demand for water in thefuture gives producers aneven greater obligation toefficiently use the resourcewhile optimizing yields.

That obligation is feltby many producersthroughout Kansas, accord-ing to Danny Rogers, agri-cultural engineer for K-State Research and Exten-sion. Through being in-volved in developingKansas Gov. Sam Brown-back’s 50-year water visionthis past year, he knowswater concerns, albeit dif-ferent concerns, have risenin all parts of the state.

The largest single wateruser in the Kansas econo-my is irrigation, Rogerssaid, which in westernKansas is primarily provid-ed by the High PlainsAquifer System, or in ex-treme western Kansas,called the Ogallala Aquiferdue to the Ogallala Forma-tion that makes up a major-ity of the geological HighPlains Aquifer mass. Re-search at Kansas State Uni-versity found that as muchas 69 percent of the Ogal-lala would be depleted inthe next 50 years, as waterusage is exceeding therecharge.

In eastern Kansas,Rogers said various sedi-mentation issues are affect-ing many of the reservoirsthat serve both publicwater supplies and crop ir-rigation. Some of thosereservoirs are direct diver-sions from rivers adminis-tered by the Division of

Water Resources, whichmeans irrigators in easternKansas at times face unan-ticipated water limitations.

“Whether you’re inwestern Kansas facing de-clines, therefore limitingthe total volume that youcan physically apply duringthe season, or you’re ineastern Kansas where youmight have an administra-tive reduction in yourwater right allocation by acertain percentage, now isthe time to plan how to bestoptimize the use of thatwater in the next (crop pro-duction) seasons,” he said.“We have the tools that canhelp you do that.”

For those irrigators whoare challenged with wateravailability in their irriga-tion programs, free onlineand downloadable toolsare available on K-StateResearch and Extension’sMobile Irrigation Lab(http://www.bae.ksu.edu/mobileirrigationlab/) to helpthem make the most oftheir water resources.

Among the variety of re-sources on the website,three main user-friendlyand practical tools areavailable for crop produc-ers to make water-planningdecisions: the Crop WaterAllocator, a tool used toplan optimum crop mixesfor the next growing sea-son; the Crop Yield Predic-tor, a tool used to predictyield, based on the amountof water and timing of irri-gation within a specificseason; and KanSched, anevapotranspiration, or ET-based scheduling tool usedwithin a season to maintainacceptable levels of irriga-tion in fields.Crop Water Allocator (CWA)

Rogers said the CWA

was primarily designed forwestern Kansas, as it wasdeveloped using data fromK-State agricultural re-search centers in Colby,Tribune and Garden City.

Using the tool, irrigatorscan select from majorKansas crops they plan toplant and set their fieldconditions—volume ofwater, anticipated precipi-tation levels, soil type andacreage. All of the inputsare easy to select andchange if needed usingdrop-down boxes on thenew Web-based version.The resource is customiz-able for each producer.

Jonathan Aguilar, K-State Research and Exten-sion water resource engi-neer, said making the Web-based CWA within the lastyear has been a positivechange for irrigators and

made the tool easier to use.“When we developed the

Web-based version, we alsoconsidered those peoplewho are using mobile de-vices,” Aguilar said. “Weenvision the CWA beingused while (producers) areout in the field and areable to share with otherfarmers what they are plan-ning for the next season.Then maybe they can alsoget some feedback from theother farmers.”

Both the new web-basedversion and downloadablesoftware version are avail-able on the Mobile Irriga-tion Lab website, and pro-ducers can use whicheverversion they prefer. Thetwo versions work with thesame end goal—achievingoptimum returns—in mind.

“You can put in the limi-tations that your field expe-

riences, and then the CWAwill look at different com-binations of crops for dif-ferent water levels,”Rogers said. “It is a usefultool to help irrigators es-tablish a crop rotation theymight want to consider forthe next few years. As wemove to more deficit irriga-tion, crop rotation becomesan important considerationfor those producers.”

As an example, Rogerssaid assume fully irrigated

corn in a particular areamight on average require16 inches of irrigation, buta producer only has theability to apply ten inches.That producer can chooseto grow corn at ten inchesfor the entire field, or he orshe might want to look atcorn on part of the acreswith other crops, or evenfallow as an option on theother part of the acreage.

KSU offers a trifecta of water-planning tools

producer has in ten-per-cent increments of theavailable water. The landallocation can be split intounits of land area as smallas 25 percent sections ofthe total cropland base.The producer then selectswhich crops to be consid-ered and customizes in-puts such as yield potentialand crop prices for theanalysis.

Each crop will be evalu-ated in the different landsegments with each incre-ment of water, and eventu-ally the CWA compiles thebest combination of cropand water applicationdepth for the producer toreview.

“You can use thiswhether you’re looking at asingle-field application ora whole farm application,”he said. “That would beyour long-term strategy ifyou started a particular ro-tation. This is a guide tomodel what combinationyou might want to consid-er.”

Inputs in the allocatorhave default general val-ues, and producers coulduse these values if they areapplicable to their area,Aguilar said. But, produc-ers can customize those,particularly their ownyield goals and availableirrigation levels, as need-ed.

Crop water use curves,showing the production in-creases with increasedwater use up to the crop’syield potential, are builtinto the program, and pro-ducers would input whatthey believed to be theirupper limit of productivity.

“Because there are dif-ferences in location due tosoils and other various as-pects, you wouldn’t want toinput a 300-bushel-an-acrecorn yield when the bestyield you’ve ever had was180 for fully irrigatedcorn,” Rogers said. “Thatwould make it an unrealis-tic projection.”

Aguilar said in the pastyear, many on the K-Statewater team have hostedtrainings to help producersbetter understand theCWA, its benefit to produc-ers and how to properly useit. He is optimistic thatthose who attended thetrainings will let othersknow how to use the tool,because they saw its useful-ness firsthand.

In-season waterplanning tools

While the CWA couldhelp producers with nextseason’s crop mixes andplanning their long-termrotation strategy, anothertool called the Crop YieldPredictor is available forin-season decisions.

“Using this tool, if youdecided you wanted toplant a particular crop, andyou’re projecting you’regoing to put on a certainamount of water, you couldplay with what would bethe best strategy of timingthat irrigation,” Rogerssaid. “It’s a seasonal look atwater that has a yield com-ponent in it, and it willtell you for this particularcrop and this level of waterwhat would be the beststrategy.”

The Mobile IrrigationLab’s baseline irrigationscheduling tool is Kan-

Sched, and it’s the toolRogers said he strongly rec-ommends that every pro-ducer, whether they’redeficit irrigating or fully ir-rigating, use for in-seasondaily decisions on irriga-tion.

“I often hear producerssay, ‘I’m deficit irrigating.Once I start irrigating, Idon’t have any other deci-sions to make.’ That’s nottrue,” he said. “It’s hard toremember, since we’vegone through about fouryears of drought now, thatthere are times we haveabove-normal precipita-tion in western Kansas, andthat there are opportuni-ties to save water.”

A recent simulated irri-gation schedule analysis(http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/irrigate/OOW/P14/LammDI14.pdf) that used a 43-yearrecord of ET informationshowed many opportuni-ties for water savings forlimited-capacity wellswithin a season as com-pared to continuous in-sea-son pumping, he said.Scheduling doesn’t guaran-tee a producer will alwayshave enough water, but itdoes help guarantee theproducer won’t miss oppor-tunities to save water forfuture use.

“As we look forward, wesee more policy modelscoming out where we couldgo to multi-year allocations

of water rather than annualallocations of water,”Rogers said. “There’s bene-fit to a producer to save aninch or two of water thisyear that can then be ap-plied in a following year.Because that water can beapplied later, you have amuch higher productivityvalue.”

Other tools to help withitems such as pumping effi-ciency, and managing fueland other energy costs, canbe found on the Mobile Ir-rigation Lab at http://www.bae.ksu.edu/mobileirrigationlab.

The Kansas Grain andFeed Association (KGFA)and the Kanas Agribusi-ness Retailers Association(KARA) have enthusiasti-cally endorsed Sen. PatRoberts for reelection tothe United States Senate.Tom Tunnell, presidentand CEO of both KGFA andKARA, cites a multitude ofreasons for the endorse-ment. “Senator Pat Rob-erts has shown unwaveringleadership and support forKansas Agri-business andthe state as a whole,” Tun-nell said. “He has been achampion for agribusinessas the ever-increasing reg-ulatory burdens fromWashington stifle Kansans’ability to feed the world.For example, the Senatorhas taken the lead on sev-eral issues, including halt-ing the EPA’s takeover ofstreams and farm ponds,and helping producers

fight the listing of the Less-er Prairie Chicken as anendangered species thatwould result in consider-able economic hardship.”

“His efforts to bring theNational Bio and Agro-De-fense Facility (NBAF) toManhattan will make Kan-sas be on the cutting edgeof scientific research,”Tunnell continued. “Theproject has created over1,000 construction jobs,will create over 300 perma-nent positions, and willbring a $3.5 billion injec-tion into the Kansas econ-omy over the next 20years.”

“With Senator Robertsas your choice in Novem-ber, you get a straightshooter, a proven trackrecord, and a man of in-tegrity,” he concluded.“No one else on the Senateballot has those creden-tials.”

Abengoa, the interna-tional company that ap-plies innovative technolo-gy solutions for sustain-ability in the energy andenvironment sectors, an-nounced the official grandopening of its second gen-eration cellulosic ethanolplant in Hugoton, locatedabout 90 miles southwestof Dodge City. The openingwas attended by U.S. Sec-retary of Energy Dr. ErnestMoniz, Kansas governorSam Brownback, FormerU.S. secretary of the interi-or Ken Salazar, KansasSen. Pat Roberts, mayor ofHugoton Jack E. Rowdenand CEO of AbengoaManuel Sánchez Ortega.

Abengoa’s new indus-try-leading biorefinery fin-ished construction in mid-August and began produc-ing cellulosic ethanol atthe end of September withthe capacity to produce upto 25 million gallons peryear. The plant utilizesonly “second generation”(2G) biomass feedstocks forethanol production, mean-ing non-edible agricultur-al crop residues (such asstalks and leaves) that donot compete with food orfeed grain. The state-of-the-art facility also fea-tures an electricity cogen-eration component allow-ing it to operate as a self-sufficient renewable ener-gy producer. By utilizingresidual biomass solidsfrom the ethanol conver-sion process, the plant

generates 21 megawatts(MW) of electricity –enough to power itselfand provide excess cleanrenewable power to thelocal Stevens County com-munity.

The Hugoton plantopening also marks thefirst-ever commercial de-ployment of Abengoa’sproprietary enzymatic hy-drolysis technology, whichturns biomass into fer-mentable sugars that arethen converted to ethanol.Among the first wave ofcommercial-scale ethanolplants in the country,Hugoton builds on recentindustry momentum show-casing cellulosic ethanolas a sustainable alterna-tive fuel source

In addition to theplant’s crucial role inproving the commercial vi-ability of cellulosic etha-nol, its success provides aplatform for the company’sfuture development ofother bioproducts that re-duce petroleum use, suchas bioplastics, biochemi-cals and drop-in jet fuel.

“The Hugoton plantopening is the result of tenyears of technical develop-ment, roughly 40,000 hoursof pilot and demonstrationplant operation, and thesupport of the DOE,” saidManuel Sánchez Ortega,CEO of Abengoa. “This is aproud and pivotal momentfor Abengoa and for thelarger advanced bioenergyindustry – and further

demonstrates our long-standing commitment toproviding sustainable en-ergy alternatives in theUnited States. This wouldhave been simply impossi-ble without the establish-ment of the RenewableFuel Standard.”

Abengoa received a$132.4 million loan guaran-tee and a $97 million grantthrough the Department ofEnergy to support con-struction of the Hugotonfacility.

IndustrialBiotechnology RenewedAt full capacity, the

Hugoton facility willprocess 1,000 tons per dayof biomass, most of whichis harvested within a 50-mile radius each year –providing $17 million peryear of extra income forlocal farmers whose agri-cultural waste would oth-erwise have little or novalue. Of that biomass,more than 80 percent is ex-pected to consist of irrigat-ed corn stover, with the re-mainder comprised ofwheat straw, milo stubbleand switchgrass.

Abengoa plans to offerlicenses and contracts tointerested parties cover-ing every aspect of thisnew industry – fromprocess design, to engi-neering, procurement andconstruction (EPC), supplyof exclusive enzymes, aswell as operations andmarketing of the complet-ed products from the facil-ity.

The proprietary enzy-matic hydrolysis technolo-gy utilized commercially atHugoton is also a focalpoint in Abengoa’s effortsto diversify the range ofraw material feedstocksfrom which biofuels andbioproducts can be pro-duced. For example, formore than a year the com-pany has been operating ademonstration-scale facili-ty that is capitalizing onthe same technology andenzyme cocktail used atHugoton to extract cellu-losic sugars from munici-pal solid waste (trash),thereby allowing expan-sion of the renewable fuelsindustry from rural tourban areas.

With a biofuels pres-ence on three continents,Abengoa is an internation-al biotechnology company– one of the largest ethanolproducers in the UnitedStates and Brazil, and thelargest producer in Eu-rope with a total of 867 mil-lion gallons of annual in-stalled production capaci-ty distributed among 15commercial-scale plants infive countries. Abengoa’s

overall presence in theUnited States – includingits solar, water desalina-tion, biofuels and engi-neering and constructionbusinesses – has grown ex-ponentially since the com-pany expanded its busi-ness more than a decadeago. Some 26 percent of thecompany’s assets are cur-rently in the United States,which is Abengoa’s largestmarket in terms of sales.

By David G. Hallauer,Meadowlark Extension

District Agent,Crops & Soils/Horticulture

A number of soybeangrowers have run into whathas been termed GreenStem Syndrome, resultingin green stems as seedshave dried to harvest mois-ture. It’s likely due to acombination of factors:stress, late rains, even in-sect damage, maybe? Howcan that be?

Typically, soybeans ac-cumulate carbohydratesand proteins in theleaves/stems up until seedformation (R5). As seed fillbegins, leaves provide pho-tosynthates needed forseed fill to continue – up toa point. As seeds grow,their need for photosyn-

thates becomes greaterthan the leaves can provideand we see a naturalprocess called ‘cannibal-ization’, wherein the plantsbegin to move accumulatedcarbohydrates and pro-teins from the leaves andstems into the seeds. Iteventually causes leaves toturn yellow and drop, andthe stems to turn brownand die.

In turn, if we have de-creased seed numbers be-cause of stress or otherconditions and those stems/leaves don’t need to be can-nibalized, they remaingreen longer than normal.The beans mature, but theplant doesn’t. Late seasonrains add to the issue, oftendelaying death of theleaves/ stems until frost. If

the leaves are still greenand intact when pods haveturned brown and havereached 13-14% moisture,it’s almost always an indi-cation of mid-season stressaround flowering/pod setand low yield potential – atleast relative to the amountof foliage produced. It ulti-mately means that you’llneed a sharp sickle andslower harvest speeds or a

good hard freeze to allowharvest to occur.

It also gives us an oppor-tunity to think back and seewhat environmental condi-tions may have resulted inthe green stems. If pre-ventable, then give consid-eration to whether that’ssomething you can econom-ically combat. If not, checkanother one up to MotherNature!

The old tractor still runs,but because the fuel gaugeis busted, you have to keepchecking to make sure it hasenough fuel to continueworking. And whether yourealize it or not, your cowsfunction similarly to thatold tractor.“Body condition scoring

is looking into a cow’s gastank to see how much ener-gy reserve she has,” saidSandy Johnson, beef cattlespecialist for K-State Re-search and Extension. “Weneed an idea of where she’sat as we manage her condi-tion in relation to the quali-ty of our forages.”A body condition score,

or BCS, in cattle is a reflec-tion of how well a cow is, orhas been, meeting her nutri-tional requirements. Pro-ducers must provide thatadequate nutrition to theircow herd. If a cow is not get-ting her required nutrients,the producer can’t expecther to do her job well, John-son said.Producers should score

individual cows from 1 to 9,with 1 being thin and 9being over-conditioned. Ascore of 5 or 6 at the time ofcalving is recommended toachieve timely rebreeding.Johnson said beef pro-

ducers should regularly de-termine the average BCS oftheir herd. Now is a goodtime in the production sea-son, when cows are eitherbred for spring calving orhave fall calves by side, toscore the herd and preparefor management throughthe remainder of fall andinto the winter.“Intentionally writing

down and tracking (body

condition) will help youknow what’s going on inyour herd and help you planfor known changes in yourcows’ nutritional require-ments,” she said.Sometimes it’s difficult

for producers to see bodycondition changes occur-ring in the herd, especiallyif they see the cows everyday, she added. Producersshould simply take a fewmoments to score the cowswhile they’re checkingthem. An easy way is towrite down the numbers 1through 9 and place a tallymark by the correspondingscore for each cow. Writingdown the scores is impor-tant, along with the date, asit helps keep track of anychanges over time.“It doesn’t matter if you

have a large group of cowsand don’t score them all,”Johnson said. “If you score20 to 30 percent, you’reprobably going to have asense of the herd averagebody condition score.”

How oftenshould you score?

Johnson recommendsbody condition scoring atseveral key times in the pro-duction year: weaning, 90days prior to calving, calv-ing and the start of thebreeding season. These keytimes are when the cows’nutritional changes occur.Scoring every month or twoduring the grazing seasonalso is useful. As an exam-ple, 90 days prior to calvingis usually when a cow needsmore energy to meet the in-creased demands for herunborn calf, she said. Atcalving, lactation will re-quire an additional in-

crease in energy. Producersshould score their herd atweaning so there is ampletime to change cow condi-tion prior to calving, ifneeded. Scoring at thesevarious points throughoutthe year can help producersevaluate the effectivenessof their pre-breeding andpre-calving nutrition pro-grams.“As our summers have

gone here, with lots of rainto no rain to somewhere inbetween, monitoring (bodycondition) would certainlygive you a good sense ofwhat’s going on with yourgrass, what the quality andquantity is as we go laterinto the grazing season,”she said. “This could behelpful so we don’t take toomuch condition off of thatcow.”“So that cows can re-

breed in a timely fashion,don’t take more conditionoff the cow than you havethe time and feed resourcesto put back on by calvingtime,” she continued. “Acow needs to gain more than100 pounds during the lasttrimester to account forfetal growth. If she doesn’t,she in effect loses body con-dition.”

What does an optimumcondition cow look like?This time of year a cow

will still have a slick haircoat, Johnson said, whichmakes it an easy time toscore her.“As we look at her top-

line, it would appearsmooth,” she described.“We wouldn’t see any of herspinous processes. Whenshe’s not loaded up onwater or feed, seeing her

last two ribs is still accept-able in a BCS 5 cow. Shewill not have any build-upof fat around her hooks andpins, or no fat around tailhead. Essentially, herbrisket is going to be tightwith no evidence of excessfat. She would have no mus-cle atrophy, which we wouldsee on a BCS 3 or lower cowthat’s beginning to use mus-cle for energy. So, whatevermuscle she has, a BCS 5 cowis showing her full amount.”If cows are lower than a

target score of 5 at calving,they will generally have alonger than normal post-partum interval, meaning

they will take more time torebreed, and the next calfwill be younger and lighterwhen it is weaned, Johnsonsaid. Managing body condi-tion is one of the things pro-ducers can use to maintainor even shorten that post-partum interval.“As we look at a two-year-

old, we might want to haveher in a little better bodycondition,” she said. “She’slactating, she’s growing andstill trying to maintain herbody, and so our typical feedresources might come a lit-tle shy of what she needs.She’s typically going to losea little condition as she’slactating. That BCS 6 givesus cushion to get her rebredin a timely fashion.”

Where can I learn more?Johnson said there are

numerous reliable re-sources online with imagesand charts to help produc-ers properly BCS theircows. An example of how tofigure BCS herd averages isavailable in the latest K-State Beef Tips newsletter(http:// www.asi.k-state.edu/about/newsletters/Sept2014BT.pdf).Contact your local Exten-

sion agent for a variety of re-sources for body conditionscoring and for help in prop-erly scoring your herd. John-son said you also can prac-tice scoring cows at yourlocal sale barn, where morevariety and differences incows is likely available.

(AP) – Kansas State Uni-versity says it will notrenew the contract of a pro-fessor who conducted con-troversial research ongrassland burning.

Research associateGene Towne says he be-lieves his 26-year careerwill end Oct. 31 because hesuggested in a publishedarticle that ranchers couldburn grassland at timesother than April. For years,the university has saidspring, especially lateApril, was the best time forgrassland burning to revivethe prairie.

The Topeka Capital-Jour-nal reports that Biology Di-vision administrator JohnBlair said Towne’s contractwas not renewed becauseof budget issues. Blair alsosaid Towne lacked techni-cal skills and his researchproject did not meet ac-cepted standards.

For decades, KansasState has used the KonzaPrairie as a laboratory forresearch into methods ofmanaging fire.

Cattlemen and produc-ers are invited to the FallForage Tour, Friday, Octo-ber 31, 2014 and Saturday,November 1, 2014. The tourwill begin at 1:00 p.m. onboth days at the Dale Strick-ler farm, one mile south ofCourtland on the west sideof the highway. Two audi-ences will benefit from par-ticipation in the Fall For-age Tour – cattle producersand those interested in uti-lizing cover crops to im-prove soil health. The tourwill focus on improving soilproductivity by using ofcover crops, forages, andperennial grasses.

According to Strickler,ranchers have two optionsto increase cattle carryingcapacity. They can choose“Horizontal Expansion” byacquiring more land – andmore debt – or they can im-prove existing pasturesthrough “Vertical Expan-sion.” Vertical Expansion

increases the cattle carry-ing capacity by both ex-panding the root zone andincreasing plant biomass.Strickler advocates expan-sion of the root zonethrough the use of selectedcover crops and enhancedsoil biology.

Soil and plant roots tellthe story of how managedgrazing, re-growth, and restaffect not only the topgrowth of grasses but alsotheir roots. To illustratethis, Strickler will dig a soilpit at his farm’s EasternGamagrass site, permittingattendees to walk down intoit and closely examine theroots and the soil beneaththe grass. Dale will explainwhat is happening at thesite so that ranchers can seefor themselves that in-creased root depth resultsin elevated organic matterlevels and improved biolog-ical activity in the soil. Ex-panding the root zone by

managing the grazing hasthe potential to increase theland’s carrying capacity.

At the cabin site, ranch-ers will have the opportuni-ty to view many varieties ofcool season cover crops.Most varieties are soloseeded to see the effects ofsoil tolerances. Five differ-ent soil types exist at thislocation: Calcareous, erod-ed, poorly-drained bottomground, well-drained bot-tom ground and salinesodic. Participants will seeEastern Gamagrass, GrazingAlfalfa, Low Alkaloid ReedCanary Grass, Dale’s CoverCrop Test Plot, BrownMidrib Forage SorghumSudan, Tropic Sun Non-Toxic Sun Hemp, Bird’sFoot Trefoil, and manyother legume, forage andgrass varieties.

Strickler is a formeragronomy instructor at Con-cordia’s Cloud County Com-munity College, cover crop

and forage specialist forStar Seed and is passionateabout soil health. He pur-chased his irrigated farm in2000, and slowly has transi-tioned it to a sub-surfacedrip irrigated grazing sys-tem. Strickler utilizes annu-al and perennial pastures togrow the forage for his graz-ing operation. His ranch isan ongoing research class-room, and his annual toursshare the various practiceshe utilizes to make hisranch more productive, re-duce costs and improve soilhealth. Each year many dif-ferent species of covercrops, legumes and foragepossibilities are showcasedto better understand howthey can be used. Strickleris a leader in helping farm-ers and ranchers find alter-natives to purchased hayand expensive inputs espe-cially during the recentdrought, and is on the fore-front of helping ranchers

think through the endlesspossibilities to meet theneeds of their ranch, live-stock and financial situa-tion.

(AP) – After a slow start to 2014, several wind energyprojects in Kansas are under construction and more areplanned once utilities have signed contracts to pur-chase the power they generate.

The Wichita Eagle reports the state has nearly 3,000megawatts of wind energy capacity in 25 wind farms,and four wind farms under construction bring an addi-tional 475 megawatts. Six other wind farms under de-velopment and approved for construction have a com-bined capacity for 1,800 more megawatts.

Federal wind energy tax credits expired at the end oflast year, but by law developers can still qualify for thecredits if their wind farms were started in 2013 and arefinished by 2016.

Developers say some of the projects are on hold untilutilities agreed to purchase power from them.

AUCTION

By Steve SutherI got my start with other

people’s cull cows, just abid or two above the ham-burger market – which wasnot so dear back then.Decades of using at leastbreed-average bulls in thepasture and artificial in-semination (AI) on the tophalf moved their progeny upfrom 10% premium Choiceto eight times that. I wouldnot want to start over withany other cows now, but it’sstill easy to find a bottom20% in these.

When disposition or in-consistent performancecrops up, I still blame the“first cows.” Science proba-bly wouldn’t assign muchculpability back throughseveral generations, butsomehow it helps me to seethose family trees withquestionable roots.

Besides, it has helpedimprove disposition to cull

high-headed granddaugh-ters of certain foundationcows while using bulls inthe top 5% for docility andmonitoring daughters.

Many, if not most herdshave humble beginnings,left behind by decades ofkeeping replacements fromthe best bulls. Whetheryours are just coming out ofthat phase or well-improvedby now, bull selection stillbrings up questions of bal-ance and adding value tothe next generation ofcalves.

I’ve heard people justifysome pretty strange choiceswhen they see the bullswith everything bringing$7,500. I guess financialpressure makes people lookfor justification to backaway from the top.

One of the strangest isthe idea that I have toomuch marbling in my herd.It was fine when I brought

them up from 50% Choice to75%, and few would arguethat I erred in pushing thata little more to 90% Choiceand 40% Premium Choice.

But going beyond thatpoint? That’s irresponsible.If we produce more andmore great beef, next thingyou know, we have too muchgreat beef. Folks won’t paymore for it and we’ll have aglut of great beef on themarket. Besides, you can ig-nore marbling and maxi-mize pounds while payingless for bulls.

Sounds like an excusefor single-trait exclusionbased on a wrong reading ofconsumer demand. Haveyou seen the Prime grid pre-mium lately? The boxedbeef has been $50/cwt. ormore above Choice, andhalf of that is available onthe grid for each animalthat qualifies.

Research has shown overand over that we need giveup nothing to keep on pro-gressing. But the bulls thatwill lift these fixer-uppersto that level do cost more,because of what they can dofor a herd over the nextdecades.

When all the bulls youmarked go to other bidders,the illogic of single-trait ex-clusion comes to mind be-cause you can more easilyafford bulls with that holein their EPD profile. All cat-tle are sky-high, so it can’thurt to back away fromquality for a while. Besides,you heard somebody say wemight get too much Primesome day.

You can rationalize allyou want, but premiumbrands and Prime beef arethe only parts of our smalleroverall supply that in-creased volume and pricein the last few years. That’sreal demand, less subjectto a switch to pork orchicken than commoditybeef.

Consumers stayed withbeef at these prices becauseit satisfies their craving fora great eating experience,and there are fewer disap-pointments than ever forthose who buy a Prime orleading premium brandsteak.

Maybe it’s time to thinklike those loyal beef con-sumers. Stay on course toproduce the best beef,

rather than trade down tosomething that will have tocompete on a sensory levelwith cheaper proteins.

Results of a consumer tracking study released by thePork Checkoff found that more American consumers arereporting an enduring love for pork. Key research findingsshow more U.S. consumers rate their enjoyment of porkhigher than in previous studies. Also, consumer-buyinghab-its measured by the U.S. Department of Agriculturealso show more consumers are buying pork.

“People are becoming more passionate about their con-sumption of pork,” says Michael Springer, Kansas pork pro-ducer. “These studies confirm that consumers are eatingmore pork in recipes and as a menu item because of itsvalue, flavor and versatility.”

Consumers taking part in the Pork Checkoff study wereasked to rate pork cuts on a ten-point scale, resulting in ademonstrated increase in the volume of consumers whorank pork as an eight or higher.

The tracking study indicates the size of the Pork Check-off’s consumer target market has grown to 43 percent ofU.S. households, up seven points from 36 percent in May

2013, the last time the survey was fielded. In 2010, the con-sumer target was just 27 percent of U.S. households.Growth in the target size is attributed to people rating porkcuts higher, as well as their confidence in cooking meat.

The study also found that a majority of all fresh porkeaten - 84 percent at home and 80 percent away from home- is consumed by consumers in the Pork Checkoff’s targetmarket. The total percent of pork eaten by the consumersgrew significantly since the Pork Be Inspired® campaignwas introduced in 2011.

“The industry is beginning to see the impact of new mar-keting campaigns. We’re making a distinct difference in themarketplace and in how American consumers view and buypork,” Springer says. “Across the board, consumers arebuying more pork from stores and foodservice outlets.”

The tracking study re-sults are further reinforced

by the Pork Checkoff’s key measure of domestic marketing,which is real per capita consumer pork expenditures.Using USDA data, consumer pork expenditures measurethe volume (in pounds) and value (in dollars) of pork sold inthe United States. Data through May 2014 showed year-to-date per capita pork expenditures grew by 7.5 percent.

The consumer tracking study also asked pork eaters,“Other than price, what most influences your meat-pur-chasing decisions?” The top three drivers of meat purchas-es are quality (63 percent), followed by appearance (50 per-cent) and convenience (32 percent). The nationally fieldedtracking study is conducted by the Pork Checkoff twiceeach calendar year and most recently in November 2013.Respondents are representative of the U.S. population forgender, age, ethnicity and income.


America’s love for pork continues to burn strong

(AP) - More than $10 mil-lion in state funds will bespent on work on nearly 80rural bridges listed as defi-cient, the Kansas Depart-ment of Transportation said.

The 77 bridges, rated de-ficient because they aren’table to handle legal loadlimits, are scattered across75 counties, the WichitaEagle reported. Some rea-sons for a rural bridge notbeing able to withstandlegal loads are outdated de-signs or deterioration, ac-cording to the transporta-tion department. Of thenearly 25,000 bridges in thestate, less than 10 percent,

or 2,390, are consideredstructurally deficient.

Not all were eligible forstate funding. To qualify, abridge had to have a dailyvehicle count of less than100 and a length between 20and 50 feet.

“These bridges mighthave low traffic numbers,”transportation departmentsecretary Mike King said ina statement, “but they areimportant to the farmersthat use them to get theirequipment to fields andcrops to market.”

State funding is cappedat $120,000 per bridge, or at$160,000, if two bridges are

being worked on by thecounty or city. The state pro-vides 90 percent of the fund-ing while the county or cityprovides the remaining 10percent, the departmentsaid.

In Sedgwick County, thetotal cost of replacing itsbridge near Viola is$400,000. The county willpay for the remaining$280,000.

The bridge has a ratingof 47.5 on a federal scoringscale of 100, said PublicWorks deputy director JimWeber. He said federal lawrequires bridges to be in-spected every other year.


The marketing outlook for cattle is basically a continuation of the last coupleyears, with more record prices.

University of Missouri Extension agricultural economist Ron Plain told the Oct.14 MU Agricultural Market Outlook conference that fed cattle prices will setrecords for the fifth straight year in 2014. And not just by a bit, Plain says.

“Last year, fed cattle averaged about $126 a hundredweight,” he says. “We’ve hadprices at $160 and above this year and are probably going to average $153 a hun-dredweight for the year. That’s an increase of $27 per hundredweight. On a 1,400-pound steer, that’s big money.”

Feeder cattle prices are also setting records. With high prices at slaughter andcorn dropping more than $2 per bushel, feeder cattle are more valuable, Plain says.

“The weather has been very good, so the nation has a record corn crop, a recordsoybean crop and pasture conditions far better than average,” he says. “So thatmeans lower feed cost and makes bottom-line numbers very attractive for the cat-tle business.”

The size of the calf crop has declined 19 years in a row, which tightens suppliesof beef and boosts prices at the grocery store. In August, choice-grade beef aver-aged above $6 per pound for the first time ever, Plain says.

Lower feed costs have also helped the profitability of hogs. At the peak of cornprices, the break-even price for hogs was around $75 per hundredweight, but Plainsees that break-even price dropping below $50 this winter.

“Feed makes up 60 to 65 percent of the cost of raising hogs,” Plain says. “For2011, 2012 and 2013, corn averaged above $6 a bushel, and now producers are look-ing at prices less than $3, which adds to the profitability.”

Pork production is low, in large part due to death losses from the PED virus.Plain says production may increase in 2015 because of fewer deaths and a largerbreeding herd driven by lower feed costs.

“Next year we are expecting pork production to be up 3 to 4 percent over thisyear,” Plain says. “It may not set a record, but it will mean lower hog prices. Growthshould mean consumers will see lower prices of pork in the grocery store.”

Presentation slides from the conference are available for download athttp://agebb.missouri.edu/mkt/teleconf/.

HOLSTEIN SPECIAL - NOVEMBER 6

October is national “Co-op Month” and GovernorBrownback has proclaimed it “Co-op Month” in Kansasas well. Cooperatives across the state and throughoutthe nation will be celebrating all month long. “Co-opMonth” also included “International Credit Union Day”on Oct. 16.

The Kansas Cooperative Council (KCC) and theirmember cooperatives host numerous events in October,highlighting the values inherent in the cooperative busi-

ness model. This year, co-ops are demonstrating “con-cern for their community,” one of the seven core philoso-phies of the international cooperative movement, by do-nating to local food banks and charities providing nutri-tional support to those in need.

The theme for the Kansas cooperative initiative tofight hunger, “70 Years – 70 Pounds,” ties our communi-ty support with recognition of the Kansas CooperativeCouncil’s 70th anniversary. The KCC’s board of directors

has challenged each member of the organization to do-nate at least 70 pounds of shelf-stable food items to alocal hunger relief charity in their community. If each ofour 265 members meets the 70-pound goal, over 18,000pounds of food will be given in the name of co-ops tofeed hungry people all across Kansas.

The EPA is registeringthe herbicide Enlist Duowith first-time ever restric-tions to manage the prob-lem of resistant weeds. Thepesticide is for use in con-trolling weeds in corn andsoybeans genetically engi-neered (GE) to tolerate 2,4-D and glyphosate. The agen-cy’s decision reflects a largebody of science and an un-derstanding of the risk ofpesticides to human healthand the environment.

The herbicides 2,4-D andglyphosate are two of themost widely used herbi-cides in the world for con-trolling weeds. Dozens ofother countries includingCanada, Mexico, Japan and26 European Union mem-bers have approved thesepesticides for use on nu-merous crops and residen-tial lawns. Last year, Cana-

da approved the use of En-list Duo for the same usesthat EPA is authorizing.

EPA scientists used high-ly conservative and protec-tive assumptions to evaluatehuman health and ecologi-cal risks for the new uses of2,4-D in Enlist Duo. The as-sessments confirm thatthese uses meet the safetystandards for pesticide reg-istration and, as approved,will be protective of the pub-lic, agricultural workers,and non-target species, in-cluding endangered species.

The agency evaluatedthe risks to all age groups,from infants to the elderly,and took into account expo-sures through food, water,pesticide drift, and as a re-sult of use around homes.The decision meets the rig-orous Food Quality Protec-tion Act standard of “rea-

sonable certainty of noharm” to human health.

The approved formula-tion contains the cholinesalt of 2,4-D which is lessprone to drift than the otherforms of 2,4-D. The Agencyhas also put in place re-strictions to avoid pesticidedrift, including a 30-foot in-field “no spray” buffer zonearound the applicationarea, no pesticide applica-tion when the wind speed isover 15 mph, and onlyground applications arepermitted. This action pro-vides an additional tool forthe agricultural communityto manage resistant weeds.

To ensure that weedswill not become resistant to2,4-D and continue in-creased herbicide use, EPAis imposing a new, robustset of requirements on theregistrant. These require-

ments include extensivesurveying and reporting toEPA, grower education andremediation plans. The reg-istration will expire in sixyears, allowing EPA to re-visit the issue of resistance.In the future, the agency in-tends to apply this ap-proach to weed resistancemanagement for all existingand new herbicides used onherbicide tolerant crops.

This assessment is thethird time in recent yearsthat EPA has evaluated thesafety of 2,4-D and the safe-ty finding is consistent withpast assessments that EPAhas performed for 2,4-D.EPA comprehensively re-viewed 2,4-D in 2005, andonce more in 2012 and nowagain in 2014 in response tothe current application.

EPA is registering thepesticide in six states: Ill.,

Ind., Iowa, Ohio, S.D., andWis. The agency is acceptingcomments until Nov. 14, 2014on whether to register EnlistDuo in ten more states: Ark.,Kan., La., Minn., Mo., Miss.,Neb., Okla., Tenn., and N.D.

The EPA’s final regulato-ry decision document is

available in EPA docketEPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0195 atwww.regulations.gov

For the week of October 15, 2014:

Dairy producers arecoming off a tremendouslyprofitable 2014, and theoutlook for 2015 is promis-ing.

“Feed costs havedropped and should belower next year,” saysJoe Horner, University ofMissouri Extension agri-cultural economist. How-ever, Hor-ner says milk

prices are expected to dropas well. Dairy productionnext year will still be prof-itable, but not as profitableas in 2014.

Horner made his re-marks during the fallMU ExtensionAgriculturalMarket Outlook Confer-ence.

“Right now our herdsize is increasing and

milk production per cowis increasing, so we areexpecting to grow themilk production in theU.S. in 2015 at above-average rates,” he says.That means milk, but-ter and cheese shouldcost consumers less in2015.

Dairy prices at the farmlevel have dropped by as

much as a third in manyparts of the world. Horn-er says the U.S. has notseen that kind of a dropbecause the economy haspicked up and produc-tion has been constrain-ed. However, he says, ageconomists expect theU.S. to look more likethe rest of the world in2015.

Kansas Attorney Gener-al Derek Schmidt an-nounced recently that hehas filed a formal objectionto proposed new federalwater regulations thatcould significantly extendthe regulatory reach of thefederal government ontoKansas private property.

Schmidt and ten otherstate attorneys general andsix governors submitted ajoint comment letter last

week to the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA)identifying significantproblems with the pro-posed new definition of“Waters of the UnitedStates.” The EPA, alongwith theArmy Corps of En-gineers, proposed a newregulatory definition inApril that would result inthe intrusive regulation ofsmall waterways, ditchesand ponds on Kansas

farms, ranches, and landdevelopment.

“The sum total of theseprovisions is that the pro-posed rule would place vir-tually every river, creek,stream, along with vastamounts of neighboringlands, under the Agency’sClean Water Act jurisdic-tion. Many of these featuresare dry the vast majority ofthe time and are already inuse by farmers, developers

or homeowners,” the attor-neys general and governorswrote. “States by virtue ofbeing closer to communi-ties are in the best positionto provide effective, fair,and responsive oversight ofwater use, and have consis-tently and conscientiouslydone so.”

The joint comment letterasserts that the proposedrule unlawfully and uncon-stitutionally seeks to exer-

cise federal jurisdictionover local water and landuse management, whilemaking it impossible forfarmers, developers andhomeowners to know whenthey may carry on their ac-tivities without obtainingan extremely expensivefederal permit. “This fed-eral power grab is unneces-sary, unwise and contraryto the Clean Water Act.

We don’t need a federalregulator on every acre ofevery field and pasture.The proposed rule needs tobe withdrawn,” Schmidtsaid.

The deadline for publiccomment on the proposedrule is November 14, 2014.A decision on whether to fi-nalize, modify or revokethe proposed rule is not ex-pected until 2015.


Shawnee County Fair’s grand champion swine was ex-hibited by Riley Showalter, Riverside 4-H Club, son ofTroy and Mary Beth Showalter. Premier Farm & Home,Queen Farms and Timeless Portraits were the premiumbuyers.

Doug Peterson, son of Charles and Amanda Peterson,drove the reserve grand champion swine at theShawnee County Fair. Buyers were Stockgrowers StateBank, Blythe Farms, Rezac Livestock Commission,Mary Spencer and Wehner Farms.
