Rural issues included in gubernatorial debate - Grass and ...

By Donna Sullivan, EditorA late January storm was

blowing in and her husbandwas out of town on business,when the baby monitor she’dpurchased for just this rea-son signaled their first Boergoat was about to kid. Don-ning her coveralls she rushedout to the barn only to dis-cover the door was frozenshut. With her own maternalinstincts in overdrive, shefrantically told her husbandover the phone that she

would get into that barn evenif she had to take a sledge-hammer to the door.So began Marcia Steph-

enson’s venture into themeat goat business. She andher husband Craig, a formercattleman, operate GypsumCreek Farm on ground thathas been in Craig’s familysince 1916. Craig got out ofthe cattle business in the late1980s and is now a crop ad-juster for RCIS. Marcia isthe director of public rela-tions for Central Care Can-cer Center.When the couple decided

to get into meat goats, theywere advised to start small,but go ahead and jump in. Sothey purchased four bredBoer goats at the local salebarn. The former city girlthrew herself wholehearted-ly into learning everythingshe could about the meatgoat business. “When youfirst start out, you’re every-one’s entertainment,”Stephenson said. “There’ssomething in you that says,‘I will prove everyonewrong.’”She took online courses

and did a great deal of re-search to prepare for raisinggoats. “At that point in time,we named all the does and Iwas very invested in everysniffle they had,” she admits.

“Then you learn they aretougher than you are. Noweverything has a number, nota name.”Marcia attended the Okla-

homa State University MeatGoat Camp, which caused apivotal change in her think-ing. “That was probably theturning point at our farm, be-cause suddenly my hobbybecame a business,” shesaid. “I’m learning that ourmeat goats are part of thefood chain and I’m learninghow that plays in the biggerpicture. I know my goal is tomake a profit and my deci-sions have changed.”

As for the first Boer goatabout to kid behind thefrozen barn door, that was

the first live birth of any kindshe had ever witnessed, andshe wasn’t just a bystander.A neighbor came and talkedher through what she calls a“Pull your cowgirl boots onand do it” moment. “Afterthat I was an old pro andnothing bothered me,” shesaid.The couple now has about

sixty does and thirty buck-lings, but the Boer breed isno longer their focus.“Through the process of ed-ucating ourselves we deter-mined Boer goats weren’tnecessarily the way wewanted to go,” she said. Thebreed tends to require moreattention, as well as needingmore parasite control. Beingof a frugal nature, they want-ed to raise healthier animalswhile using less wormer.

“I’m wanting to breed for ananimal that can stay out inthe pasture and not have tocome in,” she explained.“And I don’t have any prob-lem culling something that isgoing to wake me up at twoin the morning.” They nowraise mainly Kiko and Span-ish goats, and had a 200%kid crop this year, all bornout in the pasture. On thecold, windy nights, theyplaced plywood on the fenceto give them shelter.Goats are ruminant ani-

mals similar to deer. Becausethey eat forbs, they co-grazevery well with cattle, and thecombination is very good forthe pasture.Goats are notorious for

escaping, so proper fencingis important. “We were told,

By Donna Sullivan, EditorWhen Kansas governor

Sam Brownback and hisDemocratic challenger PaulDavis squared off for a de-bate at the Kansas State Fair,they answered a wide rangeof questions on issues facingthe state of Kansas.Prior to his election as the

46th governor of Kansas,Brownback served as theKansas Secretary of Agri-culture, served one term inthe United States House ofRepresentatives and twoterms in the United StatesSenate. His running mate isJeff Colyer.Rep. Davis has spent

eleven years in the KansasHouse of Representativesand has been the house mi-nority leader since 2008. Heis joined on the ticket by JillDocking.Education funding was a

hot topic, and a large groupof educators supportingDavis were among thestanding-room-only crowd.Davis said that Brownbackhas never made education apriority and made the singlelargest cut to public schoolfunding in state history.Brownback countered thathis administration has put arecord amount of money inK-12 education in Kansas,amounting to about 52% ofthe state’s budget. He calledon Davis to remove John

Vratil as the education advi-sor on his campaign, whoBrownback says supportsthe forced consolidation ofrural schools.On the issue of rural hos-

pitals and Brownback’s re-fusal to allow the federal ex-pansion of Medicaid to takeplace in Kansas, which hasleft an estimated 380,000residents without coverage,Davis said he would not playpolitics. “Our rural hospitalsdesperately need this,” hesaid. “I’ve had too manyconversations with ruralhospital administrators who

have said they may have toclose their doors if this does-n’t happen.” Davis assertedthat $3 billion could be in-jected into the state’s econo-my by accepting the Medi-caid expansion.According to Brown-

back, accepting the expan-sion amounts to implement-ing the Affordable Care Act,which he says will cost thestate $1 billion. “Obamacaretook money from Medicare,which goes to our rural hos-pitals and put it into Medi-caid,” he said, which headded does not go to rural

hospitals to the same degree.“And we’ve expanded Med-icaid. We added 80,000 peo-ple to Medicaid since I’vebeen governor. We have abetter Medicaid system thanObamacare.”Announcements by agri-

culture equipment manufac-turers John Deere andAGCO about planned lay-offs at the Deere plant inCoffeyville and the AGCOplant in Hesston prompted aquestion about possiblestruggles ahead for the ag in-dustry.Davis remarked that one

of the key elements in sup-porting the ag industry,which he called vital to thefuture of the state, is dealingwith the water problem. Hecredited Brownback withheightening the discussion,but claimed water had notbeen made a priority.“Everybody you talk toabout the water issuesknows that we are going tohave to devote some re-sources to this,” he said,adding that Brownback haddefunded the water planevery year he’s been in of-fice.Brownback said that his

concerns for agriculture inKansas stem from theObama administration andtheir regulatory efforts,specifically the EPA’s pro-posed Waters of the U.S.(WOTUS) rule and the list-ing of the lesser prairiechicken as a threatenedspecies. “They want to regu-late all of the range,” hecharged. “I want you to beable to have a home and abusiness out on the range.What I want to see us do isgrow and under our admin-istration, we have grown.The Kansas dairy industry –fastest growing in America.Kansas wind production –it’s doubled while I’ve beenin office. Oil and gas pro-duction has increased. Agri-culture is growing and will

continue to grow under asecond Brownback adminis-tration.”In terms of wind energy,

Davis believes certainty inthe Renewable PortfolioStandard (RPS) is crucial tobolstering the wind industryin Kansas and he said hewould veto any bill that re-peals the RPS.When asked whether, as

part of the measure to savethe Ogallala Aquifer, eithercandidate would supportmandating dramatic reduc-tions in irrigation, bothagreed that the issue ofwater is critical to the state’sviability. Brownback point-ed to his efforts in address-ing the state’s water issues,including his 50-Year WaterVision, and the repeal of the“use it or lose it“ water doc-trine for irrigators. He spokeof the Local Enhanced Man-agement Areas (LEMA’s)that bring together all stake-holders in the area to com-mit to a reduction in waterusage, as well as the plan tobegin the first dredging of areservoir in Kansas.Davis reiterated his

stance that addressing thewater issue will involve thecommitment of substantialresources.An average of polling

data from July 5- September7 shows Davis with a 2.5-point lead over Brownback.

Questions for Kansas governor Sam Brownback and Democratic challenger PaulDavis at the Kansas State Fair debate included ones on rural schools, hospitalsand agriculture’s future.

Stephensons turn meat goat hobby into profitable business

The diet for Gypsum Creek meat goats is pasturegrass, brome hay and forbs. Thirty days prior to kiddingwhole corn is given to the bred nannies to maintaintheir energy levels during kidding. Regardless of theweather, the animals get fed first, Marcia pointed out.

Goats love to climb and frolic which makes them great for many enjoyable eveningsand terrific stress relief for the Stephensons. Courtesy photos

During the Farm Bill de-bate, many agriculturalleaders pointed out the factthat farm policy should bewritten for the bad times,not the good.

It appears that suchchallenging times might behere sooner rather thanlater, with the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s Eco-nomic Research Service(ERS) forecasting farm in-come to drop 14 percent in2014.

The 2014 forecast wouldbe the lowest since 2010.Lower cash receipts forcrops like corn and soy-beans, and, to a lesser de-gree, higher production ex-penses and the eliminationof direct payments, havedriven the expected drop innet farm income.

In terms of the taxpayerledger, the elimination ofdirect payments under the2014 Farm Bill will reducefarm policy expenses byroughly $5 billion this year,which is what many of theleaders on both sides of theaisle promised the publicwhen the Farm Bill discus-sions began three years ago.But given what has hap-pened to commodity pricesthis summer, this infusionwill be sorely missed in the

farm economy this fall.So what is left of the

safety net?Crop insurance—which

is purchased by producersand kicks in only whenprices dip or Mother Na-ture strikes—was often re-ferred to in the debates asthe cornerstone of the 2014Farm Bill.

Farmers currently spendabout $4 billion a year onpremiums, and the accumu-lation of those dollars overthe years—38 billion since2000—is used to help offsetclaims in disastrous years.Farmers must suffer a veri-fiable loss before they col-lect a dime from their cropinsurance policies. Duringthe 2012 drought alone, de-ductible losses shoulderedby farmers, not taxpayers,totaled $13 billion.

As Senate Ag Committeechair Debbie Stabnow de-scribed it, “Today, crop in-surance is the foundation ofthis Farm Bill and the farmsafety net... The farmer getsa bill, not a check with cropinsurance… and they don’tget help unless they reallyneed it.” This is all good,but with the declining com-modity prices and cashflows, receiving anotherbill for a crop that has beensteadily diminishing invalue will hurt more than ithas in recent years.

Not getting help unlessyou really need it is also themantra of what remains ofthe Title 1 safety net foundin the 2014 Farm Bill. Farm-ers have a choice, but in anycase will only receive emer-gency assistance if rev-enues drop well below arunning five-year averageor crop prices fall wellbelow the cost of produc-tion.

So this is the new world.In lean years like 2014, hav-ing a backstop in place willnot mean a profit, but hope-fully it will provide thepeace of mind to help ourU.S. farmers continue to in-vest and spend and be thebest in the world. That’s ex-actly what has beenachieved in recent farmpolicy, and that is why law-makers wrote this newFarm Bill.

By John Schlageck,Kansas Farm BureauTalk to farmers, stock-

men and ranchers – mostwill tell you how much theylove their cows. Problem is,this humble and in mostcases easy-going beastrarely receives the praiseassociated with the nobleshow horse or one of the so-called smartest creatures,the squealing pig.

No one extols the virtuesof this contented creaturethat spends her days quietlygrazing and eating grass.We’ve all watched moviesabout horses (Trigger) andpigs (Babe), but most of thetime, cows are consideredboring and ignored by Hol-lywood, the media and thegeneral public.

Still, cows are not whin-ers and they take their ob-scurity in stride and rarelycomplain about their cir-cumstances. They spenddays and nights under the

stars without a tent or blan-ket and only their coat tokeep them warm. They haveto hoof it across the pasturejust to get a drink of coldwater.

But hey, I’m not here tosay I feel sorry for the cowcommunity. Confident andquiet, it is not their way toask for preferential treat-ment.

Spend time with a herdof cows and you’ll soon dis-cover they are indeed spiri-tual beings. They live theirentire lives in service tomankind.

Behind that seeminglyblank stare rests a knowingglint that suggests, “Goahead. Make fun. I spend allday eating and sleeping.You’re the one with highblood pressure and cash-flow problems.”

Cattle occupy a uniquerole in human history, do-mesticated since the StoneAge. Some are raised for

meat (beef cattle), dairyproducts (cows) or hides(both).

They are also used asdraft animals and in certainsports. Some consider cattlethe oldest form of wealth,and cattle rustling, one ofthe earliest forms of theft.

Dairy cows are referredto as the foster mothers ofthe human race becausethey produce most of themilk that people drink.They provide 90 percent ofthe world’s milk supply.

The best cows may giveapproximately 25 gallons ofmilk each day. That’s 400glasses of milk. Cows in thiscountry give an average of2,000 gallons of milk peryear. That’s more than30,000 glasses of milk.

Beef cattle supply morethan 30 different cuts ofmeat including the heart,tongue and what we grew upcalling mountain oysters – amale private part. You gottaadmit, that’s meaningfulgiving.

Another gift from thebovine community isleather that comes fromtheir hides. We use it forboots, belts, baseballs, suit-cases, purses, wallets, easy

chairs and jackets. Yes, cat-tle or cows make the ulti-mate sacrifice for humancomfort.

Another place cowsshine is in the rodeo arenaor as spokesmammals in ad-vertising. Who hasn’t seenthe skydiving cows on theirtelevision screen?

Another cow celebritythat’s been around for eonsis Borden’s Elsie the Cow.

Snorting bulls symbolizea healthy stock market anda Hereford cow pioneeredspace travel. Every kidknows about the cow whojumped over the moon.

Milk, ice cream, cheese-burgers or that fine leatherpurse – think about it.Where would we be withoutour cows?

On any given day a cowoften does more for us thanour friends, neighbors, in-laws or even our elected of-ficials. Cows deserve a roar-ing round of applause andrecognition for a job welldone.

Anyway, I’d much ratherthank a cow and wear a pairof leather boots than sport amink coat and thank avarmint. I know I’d ratherdrink milk from a cow thanmilk from a mink.

Enough said.John Schlageck is a lead-

ing commentator on agricul-ture and rural Kansas. Bornand raised on a diversifiedfarm in northwestern Kansas,his writing reflects a lifetimeof experience, knowledge andpassion.

Grass & Grain, September 16, 2014

Is there anything better than acool fall morning? Well, okay, maybethe first real warm morning in thespring. I have to say that I reallyenjoy fall, it is one of my four favoriteseasons of the year. Did I hear agroan? Yes, I admit it, I like all fourseasons equally, and I guess that iswhy I live in Kansas where we havefour definite seasons (and some-times all in the same day).

While I like all four seasonsequally, I also must come clean thatI especially enjoy the transition fromsummer to fall. Some of us were justnot made for hot weather and thecool temperatures of the fall are awelcome relief. You can always putmore clothes on, but there are onlyso many layers of clothing you cantake off. I am living proof of that.

In any case, it must be fall. Jen-nifer, the kids and I have spent ourweekend at the Kansas State Fair,football and volleyball season are infull swing and the harvest anticipa-tion has started to build. There isnothing like the build up to fall har-vest to test the patience of a farmer.I truly think waiting on Christmasmorning as a kid was training forwaiting on the crops to dry down.

This year is no different; harvestcan’t get here fast enough. Lastmonth it looked like corn harvestwas going to be early, we were goingto be picking corn in early Septem-ber for sure. It was hot, dry and thecorn was maturing at a rapid pace.Then it started raining. Don’t get mewrong, I appreciate the rain and I amnot complaining; maybe whining alittle, but not complaining. Themoisture certainly slowed the dryingdown of our corn.

This past week I did notice somefields being picked and while I stillsaw some green in our corn, I could-n’t help myself and I picked someears and hand- shelled a sample. Iknew it was an exercise in futilitybut I persevered anyway. The earswere still standing upright and ittook a good yank to separate themfrom the stalk. Dad quickly told me

that the corn was way too wet as wehand-shelled it off of the cob. How-ever, I continued on because an in-quiring mind has to know.

Off to town I drove with a coffee-can-sized sample of corn next to meon the front seat. The anticipation ofharvest steadily building as I gotnearer to the elevator, it was Christ-mas morning all over again. I walkedthrough the door with my sampleand presented it proudly to Joanne,the branch manager. She quicklylooked at my sample and pro-nounced it too wet. By now I was rel-atively sure that 1) my corn was notready and 2) I was not the first oneto bring in a sample.

Sure enough, the sample tested19.3%; harvest was just going tohave to wait. I was having flash-backs to being a kid and waking upat midnight Christmas Eve. I wasgoing to have to wait but it wasn’tgoing to be easy. Joanne handed mysample back to me and told me tocome back in a couple more weeks.We both chuckled when she said it;knowing full well that I would prob-ably be back in with another samplein a few more days.

While those of us involved infarming are among some of the mostpatient people, waiting for harvest isnot easy. I also know when the grainis finally dry enough and harvesthits full bore, we will wonder why wewere so anxious for it to start. Thatis of little consolation right now andeach time I drive by one of our fieldsI look a little harder to see some hintthat harvest is getting closer. Moreears hanging down, more brownleaves, anything that heralds theonset of harvest.

Well, I guess that means cornharvest will have to wait. Maybe Ishould take a look at the soybeans.Even better, maybe I should take asample of the soybeans in. I betterget started because it sure is hard toshell out those green pods. After all,harvest season has started and I amhauling the crop to town one coffeecan at a time.

Farm incomes estimated todrop 14%; high input, lowcrop prices cited for decline

if water will run through it, agoat will get through,”Stephenson said. “So all ofour fences have been done tothe extreme.” They have 4x4woven wire plus two strandsof electric wire, one aboveand one below, powered by a24-joule electric fencer. Theyrun four lines of electricfencing out in the pasture.

The couple recentlyprocessed goats for their ownconsumption for the firsttime. Stephenson said themeat tastes very much likemoist pork. Cooking tech-niques are important, as themeat is leaner than chicken,so easy to overcook.

The United States pro-duces only about 50% of thegoat meat (cabrito andchevon) consumed in thecountry. In 2012, the U.S.imported goat meat valued at

$72.1 million, mostly fromAustralia. The Stephenson’ssell their goats at the salebarn.

“Goat meat is the most-eaten meat in the world, but

we don’t have much of amarket for it here,” she said.“We both really like the meatand are hoping we can getmore folks around here in-terested in eating it.”

In addition toa grill and fuel for cookingfood, pack a food thermome-ter to be sure the meat andpoultry reach a high enoughtemperature to destroy anyharmful bacteria that maybe present.

Q. Several of us are plan-ning a tailgate party. Howcan we handle the foods safe-ly?

A. Keeping food at a safetemperature betweenhome, a store or restaurant,and the tailgate locationhelps prevent foodborne ill-ness. Follow these tips fromthe U.S. Department ofAgriculture (USDA) to en-sure that your food stayssafe.

Carry cold perishablefood such as raw hamburgerpatties, sausages and chick-en in an insulated coolerpacked with several inchesof ice, frozen gel packs orcontainers of ice.

Place an appliance ther-mometer in the cooler soyou can check to be sure thefood stays at 40 degrees F orbelow.

When packing the coolerfor an outing, be sure rawmeat and poultry arewrapped securely to pre-vent their juices from cross-contaminating ready-to-eatfood.

Perishable cooked foodsuch as luncheon meat,cooked meat, chicken andpotato or pasta salads mustbe kept refrigerator cold,too.

If bringing hot take-outfood, eat it within two hoursof purchase (one hour if thetemperature is above 90 de-grees F).

To keep food such as

soup, chili and stew hot, usean insulated container. Fillthe container with boilingwater, let it stand for a fewminutes, empty and thenput in the piping hot food. Ifyou keep the insulated con-tainer closed, the foodshould stay hot (140 degreesF or above) for severalhours.

If you can’t keep hot foodhot during the drive to yourtailgate, plan ahead andchill the food in the refrig-erator before packing it in acooler. Reheat the food to165 degrees F as measuredwith a food thermometer.

In addition to a grill andfuel for cooking food, pack afood thermometer so youcan check and make surethe meat and poultry reacha high enough temperatureto destroy harmful bacteriathat may be present.

Include lots of cleanutensils for preparing andserving the safely cookedfood.

Bring water for cleaningif none will be available atthe site. Pack clean, wet,disposable cloths or moisttowelettes and paper towelsfor cleaning hands and sur-faces.

Q. How do you handlemarinated meat for tailgatecooking?

A. Some recipes recom-mend marinating meat andpoultry for several hours ordays, either to tenderize oradd flavor. Acid in the mari-nade breaks down connec-tive tissue in meats.

Always marinate food inthe refrigerator, not on thecounter. If some of the mari-nade is to be used for bast-ing during smoking or as asauce on the cooked food,reserve a portion of themarinade. Don’t put rawmeat and poultry in it. Don’treuse the marinade fromraw meat or poultry oncooked food unless it’sboiled first to destroy anyharmful bacteria.

Transport marinatedmeat and any reservedmarinade in a cooler, andkeep it cold until grilling it.

Q. Can you partially cookfood at home so it grills fasterat the tailgate gathering?

A. No. Partially cookingmeat or poultry ahead oftime should only be done ifthe food goes immediatelyfrom the microwave or stoveto the hot grill. Partial cook-ing of food without cookingit to a safe temperature al-lows harmful bacteria tosurvive and multiply. Oncemeat or poultry starts cook-ing, continue cooking untilit reaches a safe tempera-ture as determined by afood thermometer.

Q. What are the safe tem-peratures for cooking meatand poultry?

A. Cook food to a safeminimum internal tempera-ture to destroy harmful bac-teria. Meat and poultrycooked on a grill oftenbrowns very fast on the out-side. Use a food thermome-ter to be sure the food hasreached the temperaturesrecommended below.

Cook all raw beef, pork,lamb and veal steaks, chopsand roasts to a minimum in-ternal temperature of 145degrees F as measured by afood thermometer beforeremoving meat from theheat source. For safety andquality, allow meat to restfor at least three minutesbefore carving or consum-ing. For reasons of personal

preference, consumers maychoose to cook meat to high-er temperatures.

Cook all raw groundbeef, pork, lamb and veal toan internal temperature of160 degrees F as measuredby a food thermometer.

Cook all poultry to an in-ternal temperature of 165degrees F as measured by afood thermometer.

Q. How do you avoid cross-contamination?

A. When taking food offthe grill, use a clean platter.Don’t put cooked food onthe same platter that heldraw meat or poultry. Anyharmful bacteria present inthe raw meat juices couldcontaminate safely cookedfood. In hot weather (above90 degrees F), food shouldnever sit out for more thanone hour.

Q. Are leftovers from a tail-gate party safe to eat later?

A. Some people have somuch fun at tailgate gather-ings that they never actuallywatch the sporting event.But that doesn’t mean it’ssafe for the food to stay un-refrigerated before, duringand after the event. Holdingfood at an unsafe tempera-ture is a prime cause offoodborne illness.

Store perishable food inthe cooler except for brieftimes when serving. Cookonly the amount of food thatwill be eaten to avoid thechallenge of keeping left-overs at a safe temperature.

Discard any leftoversthat are not ice-cold (40 de-grees F or below) after thegame. Food should not beleft out of the cooler or offthe grill more than twohours (one hour when theoutside temperature isabove 90 degrees F).

By Mary PowellYou want to raise meat

goats? That’s great! Haveyou done your research? Ifnot, you might postponethat purchase a while. If,like me, you have years ofcattle experience, you mayfind that thinking goats arejust like cattle is a very bigmistake. Yes, goats are ru-minants; they have a dentalpad and cloven feet, butgoats are more like deerthan cattle, preferring tobrowse than graze.

Do you have goodfences? Goats are notoriousfor escaping even the bestcombination fences. Hous-ing is easier to deal with, becreative and re-use thingsother livestock have used.

What breed of goat doyou prefer? Where will youbuy your goats? What abouta veterinarian? Many ques-tions need to be answeredprior to that purchase andyou need to visit with a lotof meat goat producers, toget an idea of how simple orcomplex you want your op-eration to be.

Research is a click away;there are excellent sitesout there but the first stopmust be to Langston Uni-versity’s Extension site.They have an online courseabout goats that is free. It is

an excellent way to learnabout goats, covering alltopics. Goat Rancher Maga-zine is the most informativethat I’ve found, covering allbreeds, topics and has arti-cles from Dave Sparks,DVM and Frank Pinkerton.These men know their stuff!There are countless othersites and magazines butthese are the more popularones to start with.

Two books to read are;Raising Meat Goats in a Com-mercial Operation by GregChristiansen and Storey’sGuide to Raising Meat Goatsby Maggie Sayer. Greg is acattleman and he writesabout what he has learnedand the wrecks he’s hadwith goats; he tells it like itis. Maggie’s book is a gener-al introductory book forthose who have little live-stock experience and forthose who like a referenceto go to, on occasion.

Fencing is a must forgoats and there are manyoptions but you must re-member, goats will escapeand if you have little timefor escapees, you will cullthem out of the herd, evenif they are your best ani-mal. Combination fenceswith barbed-wire and hogwire work for some.Barbed-wire with eight

wires can also be used andelectric fences or electricnetting are common.

Housing is easier andcan be as elaborate as youwant or as creative as usingan old school bus. If you kidin the winter, a totallydraft- free barn where youcan keep the temperatureabove freezing is a must.But if you kid in the spring,a good windbreak or loaf-ing shed will work. Withgoats, let your budget dic-tate your choices on hous-ing.

Choosing a breed is apersonal thing, but buyinggood quality animals meansshopping around. Finding

good seed stock providerscan be a challenge and buy-ing from the local sale barncan potentially bring un-wanted problems into youroperation that you don’twant, like worms or dis-ease. Choose your seedstock providers carefully.

A good veterinarian is amust for any livestock oper-ation but some vets don’tknow much about goats.Finding a knowledgeablevet means talking to a lot ofother producers and askingwho they prefer. Get a listof vets and keep them all onyour speed dial, you willeventually need them.

Most meat goat produc-

ers are more than willing toshare their experienceswith someone wanting toget into the business. Breedassociations and state or-ganizations are also greatresources.

One thing you reallyneed to raise goats is a goodsense of humor, somethingmost people don’t thinkabout. These animals arecrazy fun and can be frus-trating as well, but whenyou see a group of month-old kids bouncing and run-ning around your pasture,you will have hours ofentertainment that hightechnology could neverprovide.

While 2014’s wheat har-vest has been left in thedust, producers are start-ing to make decisions thatcan affect next year’s crop,for both themselves andtheir neighbors.

Being a good neighboris a source of pride formany Kansans, but beingneighborly extends be-yond lending a cup ofsugar every now andagain. Wheat farmersshould control their volun-teer wheat in order to pre-vent severe problems thatcould cost both them, andtheir neighbors, a prettypenny.

Volunteer wheat car-ries several risks, such aswheat streak mosaic virus,wheat curl mites, Hessianflies, Russian wheataphids, take-all, barleyyellow dwarf virus andmany more. Keep in mindthat it is critical that allvolunteer wheat within ahalf-mile be completelydead for at least two weeksprior to planting in thefall, and give yourselfenough time to have asecond chance just incase the first attemptdoesn’t kill all of theplants.

Wheat streak mosaicvirus is the most importantrisk of volunteer wheat,and it has the largest im-

pact. Based on data fromthe 2013 crop, the stateloss due to wheat streakmosaic would equal about1.2% of the total harvest.While this may not seemlike a large chunk, the 4.25million bushel loss had aneconomic impact of $32.6million.

Barley yellow dwarfcan also be prevented bycontrolling volunteerwheat. Last year the statelost .25% of the harvest tobarley yellow dwarf. Thistranslates to 875,000bushels and an economicimpact of $8.6 million.While volunteer wheatisn’t the root cause ofthese issues, it is the firstline of defense againstthem. Destroying the“green bridge,” the grass-es that harbor disease-rid-den insects, and waitingfor two weeks ensures thatthe insects and the dis-eases they carry, both ontoyour fields and your neigh-bors’, are no longerthreats to your crops.

Untimely rains alsoplagued Kansas’ lastwheat harvest, which thenresulted in a large influxof weeds that requiredherbicide applications.But, if farmers are intend-ing to hold back some ofthe treated wheat forseed, it is advised that

they have it tested for ger-mination.

Most common herbi-cides used as pre-harvestaids require that the grainbe below thirty percentmoisture before applica-tion, but if the moisturecontent is higher it can ad-versely affect seed germi-nation for the next year’scrop.

The only way to be surethat the newest crop’s ger-mination isn’t inhibited isby having the seed testedat a professional laborato-ry. While farmers may betempted to perform theirown germination tests athome, they may not be anaccurate depiction of thewheat’s ability to germi-nate.

“Seed germination is

relatively easy to concludefrom a germination test.What is not quite so obvi-ous is the potential dam-age done to seed though itappears to germinate,”said Eric Fabrizius, Kan-sas Crop Improvement As-sociation associate direc-tor. “Our trained analystsevaluate each seedling ina test to make sure it hasall the essential structuresto establish a plant in thefield. The lack of roots or adamaged coleoptile result-ing from a herbicide appli-cation may have a pro-found effect on that seed’sability to establish itselfwhen planted.”

Plant prep: take control of next year’s wheat crop

The grand champion market goat at the Morris CountyFair was shown by Erica Auchard. Wyatt Buchman ledthe reserve champion. Chad Wilson judged the show.

The term “hands-on” hasrecently reached a wholenew level at Kansas StateUniversity’s Beef Cattle In-stitute.

The center, housed atthe university’s College ofVeterinary Medicine, pur-chased a dystocia simulatorcow and calf to help teachand demonstrate thebirthing process. Visitors tothe Kansas State Fair inHutchinson, where the newsimulator has been dis-played to the public, are al-ready getting their own in-depth experience.

Developed by VeterinarySimulator Industries andthe University of Calgary inCanada, the equipment waspurchased with the initialgoal to create a simulationlab for teaching studentsworking toward their veteri-nary degrees. But once pur-chased, it was quickly real-ized that the simulatorcould be a valuable addi-tion to the Birthing Centerat the Kansas State Fair.

Dave Rethorst, directorof outreach for the Beef Cat-tle Institute, coordinatedthe first demonstrations ofthe simulator cow, nick-named Bossy, and her calffor the state fair.

“At the fair it wasn’t somuch as to give a demon-stration as it was to let youthhave an opportunity to pulla calf,” Rethorst said.

At the fair exhibit,Rethorst and a group ofKansas State University vet-erinary students have al-

lowed children to identifythe structures of the calf.The next step is for childrento pull the calf with thestraps. Youth anywherefrom ages 4 to 20 have linedup to try their hands atpulling a calf from the simu-lator cow while their par-ents and grandparents takephotographs and video theexperience.

“All you had to do wasask the first kid passing by ifthey wanted to pull a calf,and the line grew fromthere. I never had to ask therest of the day,” Rethorstsaid.

Modeled as a Hereford

pair, both the cow and calfare built with realisticcharacteristics, includingsize and structure. The cowstands approximately 53.5inches at the shoulder, 96inches in length and 31 inch-es at the widest point.Standing on a recycled plas-tic base, the cow is con-structed of steel reinforcedepoxy/fiberglass with water-resistant components. Thesimulator features an ad-justable pneumatic uterine,calf support system and

pump, and a functionaludder with a milk tank.Bossy pulls out all the stopsto provide the most authen-tic experience as possible.The calf is built of similarmaterials, but less struc-tured, to imitate a newborncalf.

To set up the simulatorfor demonstration, the cowhas a removable top sectionbetween the shoulders andhooks, which opens to a hol-low cavity with a clear, vinyluterine bag in which thesimulator calf can beplaced. The demonstratorcan decide how to place thecalf to simulate differentbirthing scenarios for stu-dents. A soft but durableperineum panel is built intothe backside of the cow toallow for flexibility duringthe process.

Following the debut atthe Kansas State Fair, thesimulator will be attendingmultiple education eventsacross the state, includingAg in the Classroom andjoint 4-H/FFA meetings. Italso will be a feature ineach of the upcoming BeefQuality Assurance RegionalTraining meetings this falland has been requested foruse at a Kansas county fairnext year.

Those interested in hav-ing the simulator for anevent can contact Rethorstat [email protected].

independant challengerGreg Orman in a debate atthe Kansas State Fair onSeptember 6. Roberts isseeking his fourth term inthe United States Senate.Orman is a businessmanfrom Olathe who has arecord of voting for both Re-publicans and Democrats.

“Kansas needs someone inWashington with convic-tions and a backbone. Idon't think my opponenthas either,'' Roberts saidduring the debate, whichwas attended by roughly2,000 people.Orman stated that he

has tried both parties andwasn’t happy with either,which is why he is running

as an independent. Robertspointed to contributions toSenate Majority LeaderHarry Reid (D-Nev.) as evi-dence of Orman’s liberalleanings.The campaign saw a

shake-up when Democraticcandidate Chad Taylor, withurging from Democrats inWashington, withdrew fromthe race.

Senator Pat Roberts and challenger Greg Orman debated before a packed house atthe Kansas State Fair.

When one thinks ofDodge City a vision comes tomind of wild cowboys shoot-ing up the streets. WyattEarp, or perhaps the fiction-al Matt Dillon steps intoview to face down a lonegunman in front of the LongBranch saloon. Gunplay andDodge City went together.However, even Dodge Cityhad standards which thetoughest men lived by. Oneparticular quarrel carriedin the September 9, 1879,edition of the Globe ignitedan air of astonished editori-al passion. Under the title“A Cowardly Murder” thepaper described the unset-tling events. “Dodge City hasadded another item to herhistory of blood, and rumhas found another victim.”

Barney Martin andArista H. (known as Jim)Webb whiled away the after-noon of September 8th so-cializing and drinkingwhiskey in the Old Housesaloon. Martin was a tailor,known to be quiet and in-dustrious when sober. Hewas an Irishman, describedas “…a remarkably smallman, generally inoffensiveand timid…” Jim Webb wasdescribed as “a powerfullybuilt man, fully six feettall.” Webb worked as a“porter” (custodian or jani-tor) at the York & Drapermercantile company.

As the whiskey flowed,the conversation moved in aheated direction. Accordingto the newspaper, “Manycomplimentary allusions tothe parentage, habits, andprevious history of the par-ties, usually passed duringsuch scenes in Dodge cir-cles, were freely bandiedbetween the two…” Martinwas in his element. When ona “spree” the normally inof-fensive wisp of a man be-came intolerably obnoxious.Webb had successfully kepthis explosive nature undercontrol but it simmered justbeneath the surface. Twodangerous character flawsmet head-on when Martincarried his insults too far tobe ignored. The infuriatedJim Webb closed his fist andknocked the little Irishmanto the floor.

Webb then turned to thebartender, Rufus Cook, andcalled for a pistol, but Cookrefused to supply theweapon. No bartenderwants trouble in his saloon.Cook’s response was theclassic “Get out of here!”

Undoubtedly used tosuch treatment after a dis-play of his provocative ver-bal skills, Martin pickedhimself up as he announcedhe was only joking. Hemeekly continued with aheartfelt apology “for someof his strongest epithets.”

Jim Webb didn’t answer, hejust left. Oblivious to thedangerous turn of events,Martin returned to his tailorshop and sat down to enjoythe rest of the day on awooden bench in front ofthe store.

Webb was still fumingand was definitely not satis-fied with the apology. As heproceeded up Main Streethis anger grew. With everystep Webb threatened morevengeance. At Zimmerman’sHardware he again askedfor a pistol. Webb pleadedthat he didn’t want to shootanyone; he just wanted tohit someone over the head.He was willing to pay the po-lice fine and pay for anydamages to the pistol. Hejust wanted satisfaction.The Zimmerman clerk wasnot impressed. Webb triedto push his way past theclerk to retrieve a pistolhimself, but the clerk wasable to hold him back.

Blinded with rage, Webbwent to the one place hecould not be denied. Hekept a Winchester rifle athis home “…on the hill.” Hetook up his Winchester, sad-dled his horse and rodeback to Main Street. Step-ping from the saddle he tiedhis horse to the hitching railon the corner next to the OldHouse saloon.

Having succumbed to thenumbing effects of the after-noon’s whiskey, Barney Mar-tin was quietly lounging onthe bench as Webb ap-proached. He happened tostand, looking in the oppo-site direction when Webbraised his rifle above hishead with both hands andbrought the barrel down onthe back of Martin’s headwith terrific force. The littleIrishman never knew whathit him. Martin fell “like alog,” to the boardwalk.

Citizens were alerted as

Webb ran for his horse, buthis way of escape wasblocked. Dodge City Mar-shal Charles E. Bassett ar-rived in time to take his rifleand rescue him from themaddening crowd. Withwords of “lynching” in theair, Bassett conveyed hisprisoner not to the city cala-boose, but to the more se-cure Ford County Jailwhere county officers wereavailable to protect Webb inthe event that citizens mightresort to vigilante justice.

Following Miller’s death,Webb became the first manto be sentenced to death inFord County, but was neverexecuted. He was later de-clared insane and pardonedfor the explosion of deadlyrage that ended BarneyMiller’s life one Septemberafternoon on The Way West.

Deadly Rage

Carissa Dalquest drove the grand champion markethog at the Morris County Fair. Judging the competitionwas Ethan Stephenson.

By David G. Hallauer,Meadowlark Extension

District Agent,Crops & Soils/HorticultureFour years ago, the last

week of September 2010, wehad a wave of fall army-worms move through. Notknown to cause ‘significant’damage in most cases, pres-sure was high enough fromsome feeding that standswere lost – some of whichhave yet to recover fully!Fast forward to the end ofAugust 2014 and we have ityet again. With cool seasonforages a mainstay of ourlivestock feeding program,stand loss by armywormfeeding is never a goodthing.

This time around, thepressure doesn’t seem to bequite as heavy, but damagehas no doubt occurred. Inmost cases, their feedingcycle has or should shortlybe coming to an end, mean-

ing it’s time for stand evalu-ation.

During the fall – rightnow in fact – our perennialcool season grasses(brome/fescue) are usingavailable foliage to capturesunlight to convert to ener-gy to store in roots prior towinter. Adequate energymeans better winter sur-vival and more rapid springgrowth. New tillers are alsobeing formed.

If fields have goodhealthy root systems sup-ported by good fertility,were harvested in a timelymanner so that good re-growth occurred, and havefared well through droughtstress, they’ll likely respondvery well. If any of theabove conditions are lack-ing – you may see somestand decline. Either way,monitor the stand for re-growth. If after recent mois-ture you don’t see any, you

may want to give seriousthought to reseeding thisfall (through the third weekof September is optimum)or re-evaluate in the springand re-seed then.

If stands, particularlythose with lower fertilitylevels (Phosphorous andPotassium in particular)have seen feeding pressure,it might be an opportunityto initiate a fall fertilizationprogram. Fall fertilizationwith a low rate of nitrogenplus soil test recommendedP/K levels (in the absence ofa soil test, use 25-35 poundsof phosphorous per acre)will give stands trying to re-grow this fall a feeding withsome much needed nutri-ents.

With any luck and a de-cent fall (we’ve had somegood moisture and the firstfreeze should be a littleways off) for regrowth,stands should respond fair-

ly well. Even so, be obser-vant for ‘thinned’ standsnext spring and manage ac-cordingly.

For more information onarmyworms and a few pic-tures, check out a fact sheetonline at www.meadow-lark.ksu.edu under theCrops & Soils link.

Fall Armyworms on TurfYep – they like turfgrass

too! Armyworms are a prob-lem for just about any for-age species and most of our

fescue/bluegrass lawnscould also be damaged.

The young worms are ahalf to three-quarters of aninch long, reaching a ma-ture length of one and a halfinches. Body color variesfrom green to almost black,all with light stripes alongthe length of the body. Youcan often find a whitish in-verted "Y" on the top of theblack head.

Damage looks a lot likedrought stress, so look care-

fully in the ‘interface’ be-tween dying and good turffor larvae. Feeding gener-ally occurs early in themorning or evening or oncloudy days. Damage doesnot tend to kill establishedturf.

A number of insecticidesare labeled and effective.Treat in late afternoon,when the caterpillars arelikely to begin feeding.Avoid mowing for threedays after treatment.

Armyworms present again in cool season grasses

By the time I gotthrough photographingCourtland Fun Day—twodays actually, with a com-bined total of 30 hoursworking in 112-degree tem-peratures—I was fried inmore ways than one, andwondered how long itwould take to bounce backfrom my half-dead state.Turns out about a week,give or take a day.

Similar timelines fol-lowed my last 15-hourwedding and a 4.5-mile en-durance/obstacle courseoutside of Palmer that Iwalked carrying two heavycameras. While I wasspared the rigors of danc-ing across floating bargesor scrambling throughmuck-filled trenches, thevalleys were just as deepand the hills just as steepfor this old guy as they

were for the fitness gurusand 20-something militaryveterans.

Depending on my stateof mind—a variable influ-enced by a host of factors,not the least being theamount of sleep I receivedand my workload—takinga week to recuperateseemed both too long andabout right. The part of methat objected to the lengthof time was no doubtswayed by memories of theman I used to be when Ihiked the Front Range ofColorado, bicycled thewarren of trails radiatingthrough the metropolitanarea, and worked in aphysically demandingfield. I call it my delusion-al side, one that is so stuckin the past that it can’t seethe present.

My rational side—my

favorite, if I’m being hon-est, though at times I wishI could silence it—cau-tioned restraint. I’m nolonger a spring chicken,after all, and I have a badknee, I’m reasonably outof shape from sitting at adesk most of the time, I’ma little too heavyset for my

stature (growing out ratherthan up, that’s middle agefor you), and on and on, alitany of reasons danger-ously bordering on excus-es. Whenever the thoughtof exercise or diet enteredmy internal dialogue, myrational side went into fulldefense mode. “You’re av-erage for a man your age,”it whispered. “No need todo anything rash. Besides,you hate exercise as muchas you love to eat, so whyadd torment to depriva-tion?”

It had a point. Butwhere did I fit in withother men my age? I wasn’tsure if my recuperativeweek was good or bad, typ-ical or atypical, for a 60-year-old. As far as I know,there are no quantifiablestudies that define mean

levels of physical activityand fitness by age group,and if there are it’s doubt-ful that they would in-clude data on rural free-lance photographers/writers who alternate be-tween long days and nightssitting motionless at com-puters with extreme boutsof stamina testing. Nor amI at all positive such astudy would prove any-thing. Most people have afairly accurate assessmentof their fitness levels andhealth, so it’s not exactly

rocket science. A randomsurvey of friends and ac-quaintances indicatedthat the average personfeels he or she is about av-erage when it comes tohealth and stamina. A fewprided themselves onbeing physically fit andactive while others de-plored their conditionas equivalent to carswith cracked windshields,leaky transmissions andthree flat tires. Of course,my test sampling was solow in numbers as to

The Kansas Beef Coun-cil (KBC) hosted work-shops for students en-rolled in dietetic intern-ship programs at the Uni-versity of Kansas (KU)Medical Center in KansasCity and Kansas State Uni-versity in Manhattan.These checkoff-fundedsessions are designed toprovide accurate informa-tion and practical experi-ence with beef to aspiringprofessionals who willreach thousands of con-sumers with dietary ad-vice.

Future dietitians learn-ed about beef nutritionfrom KBC director of nu-trition Audrey Monroe,RD, LD. They heard first-hand how cattle are raisedfrom Wamego rancher andKBC Chair Barb Downey.

NCBA senior executive di-rector of communicationsDaren Williams presentedtips to student dietitiansabout responding to mediaquestions and conductingon-air cooking demonstra-tions. Students practicedthese skills through mockinterviews about the Beefin an Optimal Lean Dietstudy, and through cookingdemonstrations, where

they learned to grill topsirloin steaks and discusson camera how to build ahealthy diet with beefusing the government’sMyPlate model.

Katelynne Burghardt, adietetic intern at KU Med-ical Center, said the eventprovided new perspec-tive on issues like beefsustainability and the pas-sion ranchers have for

their animals.“For Barb to come in to

talk to us about what it isshe does as a cattle raiser,how she can use byprod-ucts, potential waste fromother companies, showedus another side,” saidBurghardt. “I love to seethat and as future dieti-tians, we can really pro-mote that information welearned today.”

make the entire study sus-pect if not downrightlaughable, but hey, I’m noscientist.

It came to me yesterdayas I mowed the lawn in 93-degree heat that I’m notdoing too bad. I was outthere in the hottest part ofthe day whereas my neigh-bors had one and all cho-sen to mow when themorning was young andcool. They also used ridingmowers, though severalwere half my age. Wimps!Here I was racking up themiles behind a powermower, the air seethingwith instability, a cloying,tropical humidity drench-ing my clothes, my mindfilled with vivid forecastsof tornadic doom andgloom and my right knee asheet of flame, and for allthat uncomplaining andvirtually unstoppable.

Did it prove anything?Not really. Did it say any-thing about my physical

condition? Maybe, but itcould also point to a men-tal deficiency—why did Ichoose to mow in the heatof the day? If pride wasthe culprit, then it wasmisguided foolishness.Simple necessity, on theother hand, imbued theexercise with a glimmer ofheroism. The job had toget done before the stormregardless of physical con-straints or obstacles, and Inailed it.

Though I’m reasonablycertain that mowing ele-vated me to the above-av-erage category of 60-year-olds, I’m not one to toot myown horn. Younger, morefit friends could have fin-ished in half the time, andolder, less-healthy friendscouldn’t have endured theheat, so I suppose it aver-ages out. Give me a day ortwo and I’ll be good asnew. For a man my age,that’s perfectly unexcep-tional.

EARL & SHIRLEY VARNEYAuction Conducted By: THUMMEL REAL ESTATE & AUCTION LLC

785-738-0067 or 785-738-5933

Beware connoisseurs! Anew discovery may changethe way America eats! Loveyour broccoli? Savor yourhome-grown tomatoes?Would give your eye-teethfor a blueberry pie?

This discovery could cre-ate sweeping protests andblack markets like marijua-na has never seen! Plantsfeel pain! That’s right,plants feel pain!

Science has discovered,that a relative of the cab-bage plant was proven to besensitive and react to an in-sect chewing on it by in-creasing its “chemical de-fenses.” Silly, you say? Howsilly do you think the Hu-mane Treatment and En-dangered Species congrega-tion takes this new opportu-nity?

Selected species offungi, coral and insectshave already been declaredendangered. There is no re-ality connected to the ex-tent of damage and sacrificethat must be made by thehumans to save the fungus!Now, there will be zealotswho will solicit millions of

dollars to SAVE THE FUN-GUS!

They will adopt themantra of Plants feel pain!Lettuce killers! Save ourturnips! Free chile! Haveyou hugged your kum-quattoday? Sponsor your ownpineapple or bunch ofgrapes for only $25.00 amonth! Join the vegetable

protection league!These anti-plant con-

sumption groups will rise inself-righteous indignation!They will use the tried andtrue methods used today byanti-meat eaters of yester-day. There will be bill-boards with pictures of abunch of limp carrots withtheir top knot sagging, an-other showing a potato withtears coming from its eyes,an artichoke with a brokenheart.

They will seek out themost flagrant violators ofthe Plant’s Rights; vegetari-ans and their extremistbranch, the vegans! Mediawill pick up the banner cov-ering rallies demanding

equal rights for plants.Whole Foods, Sprouts,Trader Joe’s will be sued bythe Plant Savers of the Unit-ed States (PSUS) for every-thing their lawyers canthink of. Small growers whosell their fresh produce atlocal farmer’s markets willbecome pariahs; ridiculed,demeaned, cursed and hungin effigy in their own pump-kin patch…and on and on.

Well. Nobody with anysense would even considersomething like the Veg-etable Protection League orthat the PSUS could hap-

pen. What would advocatessuggest people eat? Thehuman body can be sus-tained by mouth or intra-venously by taking a slurryof chemicals containing hy-drogen, oxygen, nitrogen,carbon, sulfur and phospho-rus. That would be their an-swer. Which is irrelevantbecause all they need is acause. They don’t need toprove anything. Even if theycould convince only 2.4% ofthe population that eatingvegetables is ethically badand unhealthy, it would be avictory for their cause and

make them feel good aboutthemselves. They would betheir own little industry andwe all gotta make a living.

Today only 2.4% of Amer-icans consider themselvesvegetarians, who for practi-cal reasons do not includeeggs and dairy products.And they feel good aboutthemselves.

I asked in jest if anyonewith even half a brainwould actually considerplant’s rights and the Veg-etable Protection Lea-gue…and then I remem-bered Congress.

ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSE

Plant’s Rights

The reserve champion market hog at the Morris CountyFair was shown by Carissa Dalquest, picturd with judgeEthan Stephenson.

The Surface Transporta-tion Board (STB) held arare, nine-hour field hear-ing in Fargo, N.D., recentlyto provide individuals andgroups the opportunity toreport on rail service prob-lems and to hear from railindustry executives abouttheir efforts to address theproblems. According to TheHagstrom Report, a widerange of elected officialsand industry leaders urgedthe STB to make sure theBNSF and Canadian Pacificrailroads provide rail carsto ship wheat, corn, soy-beans and other commodi-ties from the Upper Plainsthis fall or risk farmers andagribusiness losing billionsof dollars and the U.S. los-

ing its reputation as a reli-able supplier of agricultur-al products. Many of thosethat testified also called onthe STB to require the rail-roads to provide greatertransparency on their ship-ping service between indus-tries and to order addition-al reporting through de-tailed service plans thatoutline service improve-ments for this fall.

The STB has already re-quired the railroads to sub-mit weekly reports on carmovements and backlogs,and BNSF officials say theyare making progress in re-ducing the grain-car back-logs. For example, in its re-port dated Aug. 29, BNSFshowed past-due cars total-

ing 2,029, down 22.2 percentfrom the 2,609 cars reportedon Aug. 22. BNSF officialsblame much of the backlogon a bad winter and an ex-plosion in rail traffic de-mand in the region andacross the country, but Ste-van Bobb, executive vicepresident and chief market-ing officer for BNSF Rail-way, refuted claims thatcrude oil shipment aresomehow favored, statingthat “both crude and grainshipments are slower.”

”Nothing is more impor-tant than restoring the flu-idity of the market,” Bobbsaid, but he warned againstsuggestions to institute poli-cies allowing other railroadcompanies or private cars

to use BNSF tracks, or toprefer some regions or com-modities over others. “Itwill not create more capaci-ty. It will reduce capacity,and customer volumes willbe negatively impacted.”Bobb went on to say, “In-creasing regulatory pres-sure to target certain com-modities or regions willbackfire as “the chosen”commodities move at theexpense of all others.”

Caution was also ex-pressed by STB chairmanDaniel Elliott, who notedthat while the STB hasbroad powers to act in thecase of emergency, he doesnot want to take actions thatcould make the situationworse.

While no short-term so-lution to the situation is ap-parent, BNSF believes thatthey are taking the neces-sary steps to improve per-formance. As of Aug. 31,Bobb said the railroad hasadded 339 locomotives outof a goal of 500 for the year,and had hired 2,419 employ-ees of the planned 3,000 inits train, yard and engineservice, as well as another2,305 engineering and me-chanical staff – exceedingits goal of 2,000 for the year.He went on to say thatBNSF has increased year-to-date shipments over 2013in three categories: crudeoil, up 47,157; coal, up22,183; and agriculture, up5,303 shipments.

August 2014 velocitiescompared with 2013 fortrains are down for threecommodities: oil, 24 per-cent; agriculture, 22 per-cent; and coal, 17 percent.However, BNSF shuttletrains have improved inrecent weeks. BNSF hasexceeded the 2.5 round-trip goal to the PacificNorthwest ports in thepast three weeks. Gulf ofMexico shipments to Texashave increased to 2.1times per month afterfalling to 1.5 and 1.7 formuch of August. The com-pany plans to increase itsshuttle numbers by 15 to20 percent over five-year av-erages from October toMarch.

Dane G. Hansen Foun-dation has granted a $25,000grant to the Kansas Agricul-ture and Rural LeadershipClass XIII program.

The Dane G. HansenFoundation was estab-lished as a charitable or-ganization in 1965, with theprimary goal of making thecommunities of northwestKansas better places to live.The Hansen Foundationwas established through thegenerous donation of DaneG. Hansen, an exceptionalKansas citizen who had apersonal interest in pro-moting education and help-ing young people to suc-ceed. Upon his death, Mr.Hansen left a generouslegacy to allow others tomake the world a betterplace. In honor of Mr.Hansen’s memory, theFoundation awards grantsand scholarships every yearto qualified recipients who

demonstrate a strong desirefor community improve-ment.

KARL is a two-year, non-profit program that pro-vides study, training andtravel opportunities foremerging leaders in the

state’s agriculture and ruralcommunities. Since 1990, ithas helped develop deci-sive, informed spokespeo-ple to be representatives forthe farming and ranchingindustries. Costs for eachclass are about $600,000.

“The Hansen Founda-tion was one of the originaldonors to the KARL pro-gram,” says Jack Lindquist,graduate program director.“That they are the groupthat has put us over the five-million-dollar-mark in 25years of KARL is incredi-ble.”

“KARL has had manygraduates and current classmembers from northwestKansas which makes this agreat fit for our partnershipwith the Dane G. Founda-tion,” say Al Davis KARLPresident.

Since its beginning,KARL has had 11 classes of30. These 330 members from101 of Kansas’ countieshave participated in theprogram. KARL graduateshave gone on to be in lead-ership roles in all of themajor commodity associa-tions, including the KansasLivestock Association.

By Mary PowellIt never fails; I come

home from work and find anescaped goat grazing in theyard. How they manage to es-cape depends on the day;they climb into the hay feed-er, then jump down on theother side of the fence.Sometimes they climb underthe fence or jump out. Thesegoats and many others likethem are escape artists anda goat producer has threeoptions, cull the goats, builda taller fence with electricwire or get used to the es-capee’s capers and put themback in the pen.

We dry lot our goatswhen we are at work, thenwhen I return home, I openthe gates so they can grazethe pasture. Since the horsepasture isn’t completelygoat proof (there is no suchfence), I use my three bor-der collies as the invisiblefence. When the goats gettoo close to the barbed-wirefence, I send the dogs out toherd them away from thetempting ‘greener side ofthe fence.’ This is a time-consuming activity but itgives me time to write orread. For those with lesstime to deal with the goats,other options are endless.

Barbed-wire fences work

great for cattle and horsesbut goats will crawl through,unless you add at least fourmore strands of wire to thefence and even then, goatswill try to slip through.Some folks combine barbed-wire fences with two orthree additional hot wireson the inside of the fence, touse as a deterrent. A lot ofproducers use the old stand-by of hog wire and barbed-wire to control their goats.There is electric netting,which some suppliers ad-vertise as temporary fenc-ing that works well but islabor- intensive, if you haveto keep moving it around.Some folks use cattle panelsfor their goats but even thatcan be problematic whenthe goats stick their headsthrough the panels and gettheir horns hung up whenthey try to pull away. What-ever the type of fencing,goats will manage to escape,get tangled or caught andcertainly will drive youcrazy.

I have not met a goat pro-ducer who doesn’t have agood story of their escapeartist goat or goats. One pro-ducer was confounded byhis whole herd escapingdaily. After putting upwildlife cameras to figure it

out, he discovered three bigdoes pushing on the cattlepanels, managing to leanthe panel up against a tree,where the goats could climbinto the tree and drop out ofit on the other side; puregoat genius. We have a Boercross doe that can clear thesix-foot-tall cattle panels.She walks up to the fenceand like a gazelle, clears itin a graceful single motion.Another producer had to cutdown a tree in the pasturebecause the goats wereclimbing it, walking out onthe branches, then droppingout of the tree.

Goats – you can’t help butbe amazed, confounded orfrustrated by their antics. Ifthey don’t respect the fenc-ing, it will be hard to keepthem in where you wantthem. Tall fences don’t al-ways mean they will stay,nor will electric wires keepall goats under control. Ittakes constant checking,mending, building and evenculling to keep the most tal-ented escape artist goats inyour pastures or pens. Italso helps to have a greatsense of humor when rais-ing goats.


Raising goats requiresa sense of humor

serious threat to our pas-tures and rangeland. Be-cause of its aggressive rootsystem, prolific seed pro-duction and ability to thriveon soils of low fertility,landowners who have bat-tled this weed probablyhave stronger and more col-orful words than just de-scribing sericea as a nox-ious weed. But, sincesericea is labeled a noxiousweed by state law, assis-tance in purchasing herbi-

cides to battle this pest isavailable through yourcounty weed department.

The recent rains in ourarea have caused sericea tobegin growing rapidly andstart the onset of settingflowers. This is a primetime to apply herbicidesand get effective control.After sericea has floweredand up until the first freeze,metsulfuron (marketedunder Escort, Ally, Cimar-ron, and other trade names)is the herbicide of choicefor control. Metsulfuron cancontrol sericea eventhrough seed fill, unless the

plants are under droughtstress. However, to avoidthe formation of viable seedtiming of spray is ideal to-ward the end of full flower.

It is also a good idea notto graze of hay sericea afterit has gone to seed. This canprevent spread of seed bycattle to other areas. .

Controlling sericea ismulit-year process to anycontrol measures will needfollowup to maintain effec-tiveness Spraying remain-ing plants next in Junewhen the plants are in avegetative growth stagewith Remedy or Pasture-Gard at the labeled rate.

The Rural OpportunityZones (ROZ) program hasexpanded by four countiesfor Fiscal Year 2015, bring-ing the total number ofROZ certified counties to77. On July 1, Cherokee,Labette, Montgomery andSumner counties joinedthe initiative designed tohelp bring new residentsto rural Kansas afterdecades of population loss.

The ROZ program al-lows qualifying individu-als who move to one of the77 designated counties tohave their state incometaxes waived for up to fiveyears. In addition, coun-ties that opt to partnerwith the state may offerstudent loan repaymentsof up to $15,000. Currently,70 counties have decidedto join the student loan re-payment program. Mont-gomery and Washingtoncounties are the two mostrecent additions to thisportion of the ROZ pro-gram.

“Rural OpportunityZones have had a positiveimpact across our state,helping to bring new fami-lies and skilled workers tocounties that have suf-fered population loss forgenerations,” said KansasCommerce Secretary PatGeorge. “The most recentexpansion of the programwill bring those ROZ bene-fits to additional areas ofsoutheast and south cen-tral Kansas.”

The Department has re-ceived 1,654 applicationsfor participation in the stu-dent loan repayment pro-gram from residents of 42states. Applicants repre-sent a wide variety of in-dustries and educationalbackgrounds. Education,health care and agricul-ture are the most commoncareers of applicants.

U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts re-cently called on Senate Ma-jority Leader Harry Reid toallow the Senate to act oncritical legislation to protectfarmers, ranchers and pri-vate property owners fromproposed Waters of the U.S.rule changes by the Envi-ronmental ProtectionAgency (EPA).

“The House has ap-proved bipartisan legisla-tion to stop the EPA’s regu-latory assault on farm coun-try through its proposedchanges to the ‘Waters ofthe U.S.’ rule,” Robertssaid. “It is time for the Sen-ate to act on this common-sense legislation to protectfarmers, ranchers and otherprivate property ownersfrom confusing and vagueproposed rules. I call onMajority Leader Reid tocall up the House passedbill or the Senate bills thatwould stop this attack onrural America.”

Last week the House ofRepresentatives approvedH.R. 5078, theWaters of theUnited States RegulatoryOverreach Protection Act,by a bipartisan vote of 262-152. This bill would prohib-

it the EPA and the ArmyCorps of Engineers fromenacting the proposed ruleredefining waters of theUnited States in the CleanWater Act.

Roberts has cosponsoredand voted for legislation toprevent the EnvironmentalProtection Agency from fi-nalizing the rule. He is anoriginal cosponsor of S.2496, the Protecting Waterand Property Rights Act,and S. 1006, the Preservethe Waters of the UnitedStates Act, and has alsocosponsored Sen. RandPaul’s Defense of Environ-ment and Property Act, S.890. He supported anamendment no. 888 to pre-serve existing rights and re-sponsibilities with respectto waters of the UnitedStates during debate of S.601, the Water ResourcesDevelopment Act.

In July, Roberts andother Agriculture Commit-tee Republicans met withEPA administrator GinaMcCarthy. In the meeting,Roberts expressed frustra-tion with the Agency’s re-cent dismissal of concernsfrom Kansans regarding the

proposed Waters of the U.S.rules. Roberts took issuewith the EPA’s recent cam-paign calling these concerns“myths.”

“Just two weeks ago, youwere in Missouri to meetwith producers regardingthe proposed Waters of theUnited States regulation.Farmers and ranchers hadhoped they would be able topersuade you to recognizethe far-reaching and nega-tive impacts of the proposedand interpretive rules, butthe reports back have notbeen positive.” Robertssaid. “To hear that theirconcerns were categorizedas ‘silly’ or ‘ludicrous’ istruly frustrating.”

Roberts has fought regu-lations that hurt farmers andranchers, hospitals, busi-nesses and consumers. He isan outspoken opponent ofcostly regulations that harmthe economy and job cre-ation.

Roberts is also an out-spoken opponent of theEPA’s National PollutantDischarge Elimination Sys-tem (NPDES) permit that isnow required in addition toany label requirements or

restrictions already placedon the use of a pesticidesunder the Federal Insecti-cide, Fungicide and Roden-ticide Act (FIFRA).

This double permittingrequires approximately35,000 pesticide applicatorsto get permits to coverabout 500,000 applicationsper year. EPA estimates de-termined the permit rulewill cost states, local enti-ties and pesticide applica-tors $50 million and require

one million hours to imple-ment per year.

Roberts and SenatorMike Johanns have intro-duced a bill, S. 175, to en-sure Clean Water Act per-mits are not needed for theapplications of pesticidesand amends FIFRA by stat-ing that no permit shall berequired for the use of a pes-ticide that is registeredunder FIFRA. Roberts intro-duced the same legislationin the last Congress where it

was blocked from consider-ation on the Senate floor.

Responding to the con-cerns of Kansans, Robertshas also fought the cap andtax scheme for its negligibleimpact on climate. He sayscap and tax policies willsimply pass on costs to con-sumers already strugglingin this tough economy.

Roberts is a senior mem-ber of the Senate Commit-tee on Agriculture, Nutri-tion and Forestry.

The Kansas WheatCommission and theKansas Association ofWheat Growers have un-veiled their new brandmark — the EAT Wheatsymbol.In addition, the organi-

zations are also introduc-ing a new tagline, Re-discover Wheat. The brand-ing changes coincide withKansas Wheat's focus onhelping consumers redis-cover wheat in their diets,developing a renaissancein wheat research, andconcentrating research ef-forts on exploring thegenetic diversity and

complexity of the wheatplant.The new Kansas Wheat

symbol represents the posi-tive and innovativechanges that the KansasWheat Innovation Centerhas had on the wheat indus-try. Wheat provides around20% of global calories forhuman consumption, andthe work being done inKansas continues to ensurethat the world has enoughto eat.The $11 million facility

was built by the KansasWheat Commission,through the Kansas wheatcheckoff. It represents the

single largest investmentby wheat farmers in the na-tion. The facility wasopened in November 2012and houses the two KansasWheat organizations in ad-dition to other industry or-ganizations, 15,000 squarefeet of research laborato-ries, and 10,000 square feetof greenhouses."In recent years, con-

sumers have increasinglyfollowed fad diets such asthe low-carb and gluten-free crazes. Our newtagline invites them to re-discover wheat foods,

which have positive effectson the diet," said KansasWheat CEO Justin Gil-pin. "The new brand marksignals a clear purposefor our brand, which isinvesting in the futurethrough wheat geneticsresearch. By rediscover-ing genetics in ancientwheat ancestors, we hopeto unlock the true potentialof modern-day breadwheat."The brand mark and

tagline were developed bythe Manhattan-based firm,502 Media Group.

SPECIAL CALF SALES:MONDAY EVENING, OCT. 6TH, 6:30 PMMONDAY EVENING, OCT. 27TH, 6:30 PM

Zoetis Inc. has an-nounced that the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture(USDA) has granted a con-ditional license for a vac-cine to help fight porcineepidemic diarrhea virus(PEDv) in pigs. The two-dose inactivated vaccine,licensed for use in healthypregnant sows and gilts,is designed to help themdevelop antibodies thatcan be transmitted totheir newborn piglets.Zoetis anticipates the vac-cine will be available toveterinarians and porkproducers later in Septem-ber.

“This vaccine is an im-portant part of our com-mitment to working with

veterinarians and porkproducers to help mini-mize the impact of PEDvon pigs in their care,” saidGloria Basse, vice presi-dent, U.S. Pork BusinessUnit, Zoetis. “To achievethe best possible results,producers should workclosely with their veteri-narians and the Zoetistechnical services team toimplement the new vac-cine into their biosecurityprograms.”

The vaccine is given asa 2 mL intramuscular (IM)injection to sows or giltsprior to farrowing. Twodoses given three weeksapart are recommended,with the second dose giventwo weeks pre-farrowing.

Previously vaccinatedsows should receive a sin-gle dose given two weeksbefore farrowing. To re-ceive the conditional li-cense, the vaccine wasshown to be safe in a fieldsafety study, and a reason-able expectation of effi-cacy was demonstrated.Zoetis is working to com-plete the studies ne-cessary to obtain full li-censure in the UnitedStates.

“We at Zoetis are proudto provide our customerswith a vaccine to help bat-tle this devastating dis-ease,” said CatherineKnupp, executive vicepresident and president,Zoetis Research and De-

velopment. “Bringing thisvaccine to market quickly— in a little more than ayear since the disease wasidentified — exemplifiesour commitment to sup-porting veterinarians andlivestock producers withhigh-quality vaccines torapidly respond to andhelp control the evolvingand complex threat ofemerging infectious dis-eases.”

Zoetis continues workwith Iowa State Universityon a second vaccine ap-proach to help controlPEDv. The results fromthese vaccine researchprograms could have ap-plicability in countriesoutside the U.S. where

PEDv has been identifiedand is threatening swineherds and the livelihoodsof producers.

“From death loss toemployee morale, weknow the impact PEDv hashad on the swine industryover the past 15 months,”said Rick Swalla, DVM,Pork Technical Services,Zoetis. “We look forwardto bringing solutions toand working with vet-erinarians and producersto help combat this dis-ease.”

In the meantime, ongo-ing efforts to slow the

spread of PEDv continueto focus on improvingbiosecurity measures.From the farm to transporttrucks, stepped-up effortsinclude additional sanita-tion, better control of ac-cess points and review ofemployee protocols. All ofthese steps have beendemonstrated to help miti-gate the risk of the virusentering a farm.

For more informationabout the new vaccine,contact your veterinarianor local Zoetis representa-tive or visit https://www.zoetisus.com/pedv.

By Miranda Reiman“It made me mad!”

That’s what a Montanarancher told me when talk-ing about the first carcassdata he ever got back.

“I got tired of trying tosell them. I wasn’t willingto accept generic pricewhen I thought I had some-thing better,” he said. “Isoon learned.” Those firstcalves graded 20% Choice,and motivated him to con-tinue feeding cattle for thenext two decades. It also

spurred the rancher toadopt an AI plan to infusethe best genetics morequickly. Today he sellsloads above 90% Choice,with more than half ofthose reaching the uppertwo-thirds of that grade.

A visit to a Wyomingranch earlier this summerillustrated the other end ofthe surprise spectrum.When the cattleman decid-ed to retain ownership fiveyears ago, he knew it was arisk. He’d been buying “top-

dollar” bulls, but had noway of knowing how thosegenetics performed beyondweaning. And then he gotthe call from his cattlefeeder.

“You can’t believe whatyou’ve got,” the yard man-ager told him. The inaugu-ral retained ownershipload went better than 90%Choice and earned brandedpremiums. “Don’t change athing.”

The bulls were working,the cows were working, butthat producer didn’t wantthem in a holding pattern.His first data just served asbenchmark that he’s beenbuilding on ever since. Andyes, they’re still getting bet-ter.

Not all surprises are ap-parent right away. When anIowa cattleman got his firstcarcass report on cattle fin-ished with a local farmer-feeder, it was interesting,but not all that informative.

“Under the marbling, wehad all the different scoresand, well, I didn’t under-stand them,” he told me.

Denotations like “AB10”and “AB20” could have justas well been a product codeor carcass locator number.So months down the roadwhen the producer asked acustom feedyard managerto explain the packer data,he got quite a shock.

“He broke it down andsaid, ‘Those are exception-al cattle and that’s Primeon the carcasses.’”

His goal now? To movethe whole herd into the“AB” (abundant marbling)category.

I’m lucky to chat withcow-calf producers allacross the country, andmany of them followed in

the tradition of sellingweaned calves before tran-sitioning to retained owner-ship at some point. Rarelydo I hear, “That’s exactlywhat I expected my data tolook like.” But they almostalways tell me—regardlessof how positive or negativethe surprise—it was worthit.

The Iowan said, “If I’mgoing to pay that kind ofmoney for genetics, I want-ed to make sure ‘it’ was inthere. And it was in there inspades.”

There is power in know-ing how your product per-forms. Why do you thinkcompanies beg for online

reviews or restaurants in-centivize you to completepost-visit surveys? The in-formation they learn fromfeedback helps them makesystems improvements,marketing tweaks and gen-erally get better at givingtheir customers what theyexpect. Most cattlemen Iknow want to do just that.Maybe it’s time to get a lit-tle vulnerable and try feed-ing some cattle. Just braceyourself for a few surprisesalong the way.Next time in Black Ink®

Steve Suther will take a lookat fixer-uppers. Questions? E-mail mreiman@certified an-gusbeef.com.
