W ASHINGTON (AP) — With the 2008 election season over, Rep. Jerry Moran wasted little time taking the next step in his likely bid for higher office. The western Kansas Republican filed paperwork Friday that allows him to accept contributions for a U.S. Senate campaign. Moran, of Hays, has been telling constituents for months that he plans to seek the seat being vacated in 2010 by Republican Sam Brown- back. His statement of candidacy filed with the Federal Election Com- mission and the secretary of the U.S. Senate formalizes that process. “Jerry was on the ballot for the U.S. House for the last time,” Moran spokesman Travis Murphy said Fri- day. “He’s made his intentions known for some time that this was his plan.” Murphy said the filings are part of the process of making Moran’s in- tentions clear “and allowing him to follow the rules.” Moran already has amassed about $2.4 million in his House campaign coffers that could be transferred to a Senate bid. Moran was re-elected to a sev- enth House term on Tuesday with 82 percent of the vote, the highest per- centage of any Republican in the na- tion running for Congress. But he has been working in recent months to increase his name recognition in eastern Kansas. Moran may not be the only prominent Republican laying the groundwork for a Senate bid. Rep. Todd Tiahrt, of the Wichita area, has not ruled out such a campaign and has been traveling the state recently to raise his profile outside his south- central Kansas district. “An open Senate seat will draw a lot of interest, and my feeling is Kansas will not have two senators from the same congressional dis- trict,” Tiahrt said Friday, a reference to Republican Sen. Pat Roberts, who also represented western Kansas be- fore ascending to the Senate. “I can guarantee there will be others who will get into this race.” But Tiahrt also said it was too early to talk about the next election cycle. “Like other Kansans, talk of an- other political campaign makes me groan right now,” Tiahrt said. At least one prominent Democrat is ruling himself out for now. Former Rep. Jim Slattery, who garnered just 36 percent of the vote on Tuesday in his challenge to Roberts, has no interest in making another run for the Senate, spokes- woman Abbie Hodgson said. Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is a possible Democratic contender, but she is widely expected to take a position in Barack Obama’s ad- ministration should an offer be ex- tended.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Withthe 2008 election season over, Rep.Jerry Moran wasted little time takingthe next step in his likely bid forhigher office.
The western Kansas Republicanfiled paperwork Friday that allowshim to accept contributions for aU.S. Senate campaign.
Moran, of Hays, has been tellingconstituents for months that he plansto seek the seat being vacated in2010 by Republican Sam Brown-back. His statement of candidacyfiled with the Federal Election Com-mission and the secretary of the U.S.Senate formalizes that process.
“Jerry was on the ballot for theU.S. House for the last time,” Moran
spokesman Travis Murphy said Fri-day. “He’s made his intentionsknown for some time that this washis plan.”
Murphy said the filings are partof the process of making Moran’s in-tentions clear “and allowing him tofollow the rules.” Moran already hasamassed about $2.4 million in hisHouse campaign coffers that couldbe transferred to a Senate bid.
Moran was re-elected to a sev-enth House term on Tuesday with 82percent of the vote, the highest per-centage of any Republican in the na-tion running for Congress. But hehas been working in recent monthsto increase his name recognition ineastern Kansas.
Moran may not be the onlyprominent Republican laying thegroundwork for a Senate bid. Rep.Todd Tiahrt, of the Wichita area, hasnot ruled out such a campaign andhas been traveling the state recentlyto raise his profile outside his south-central Kansas district.
“An open Senate seat will draw alot of interest, and my feeling isKansas will not have two senatorsfrom the same congressional dis-trict,” Tiahrt said Friday, a referenceto Republican Sen. Pat Roberts, whoalso represented western Kansas be-fore ascending to the Senate. “I canguarantee there will be others whowill get into this race.”
But Tiahrt also said it was too
early to talk about the next electioncycle.
“Like other Kansans, talk of an-other political campaign makes megroan right now,” Tiahrt said.
At least one prominent Democratis ruling himself out for now.
Former Rep. Jim Slattery, whogarnered just 36 percent of the voteon Tuesday in his challenge toRoberts, has no interest in makinganother run for the Senate, spokes-woman Abbie Hodgson said.
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius isa possible Democratic contender,but she is widely expected to take aposition in Barack Obama’s ad-ministration should an offer be ex-tended.

Moran begins raising money for Senate bid Poem incorrectly attributed
In some copies of thefirst section of today’s edi-tion, the poem honoringveterans was incorrectlyattributed to regular G&Gcolumnist Don Coldsmith.Although the poem wassubmitted by Coldsmith, itwas penned by an un-known author.
G&G sincerely regretsthis error.
Monday was the Novem-ber crop report. This waswritten prior to the report,but average trade guessessuggest that the changes willnot be very large. Part ofthat, I am sure, has to dowith the fact that we had arevision to the October re-port just a couple weeksago. The USDA has beenvery erratic lately so any-thing is possible. The aver-age trade guess for corn pro-duction is up slightly at12.066 billion and yield at154.3 bushels per acre.
For the beans the aver-age guess in calling for aslight cut in production to2.916 billion and yieldfalling to 39.2 bu/ac. It is sohard to guess what theymight do since we just hadthat revision, but things tolook for other than the pro-duction changes are anothercut in the corn export esti-mate, an increase in the soy-bean export estimate, but acut in crush and perhaps anincrease in the wheat ex-port estimate.
As far as the world num-bers go look for a cut in Aus-tralian and Argentine wheatproduction and cuts inBrazilian and Argentinecorn and soybean produc-tion. Depending on whathappens with the US cornproduction figure, we couldsee another new low in theworld corn stocks to useratio.
The corn market had an‘okay’ start to the week, butit seems like we can’t quite
get away from following thestock market, at least whenit is heading lower. Whenthe Dow Jones dropped 1000points between Wednesdayand Thursday the corn wentwith it and the Decembercontract ended up losingabout 25 cents.
The market has good sup-port below it from $3.74down to $3.64, but a bearishreport on Monday or anoth-er sharp drop in the stockmarket to start the week willpush the corn through thesupport. A failure of thesupport early next weekwould make the $3.35 - $3.50area the next downside ob-jective.
The wheat market start-ed the week very strong, butthe December KW ran intoresistance at the $6.15 areaand sold off from that level
when the stock marketbroke. The December KWonly lost 8 cents for theweek, but that was 56 centsoff the weekly high.
The news isn’t particu-larly bearish with theprospects for productioncuts in the southern hemi-sphere and export sales at adecent pace, but there sim-ply isn’t any news that isfriendly enough for thewheat to separate itselffrom the stock market.Global financial concernsare still a bigger marketmover than anything else.There is good support underthe wheat market, but itwon’t be good enough if thesupport doesn’t hold in thestock market, so I urge cau-tion.
The January soybeansmade a positive close four of
the five trading days lastweek, but that wasn’tenough to overcomeWednesday’s losses. TheJanuary beans lost about 11cents for the week, but Ithink that the positive closeon Thursday and thestrength on Friday indicatethat traders realize thismarket has potential.
The export pace is far toostrong for the current esti-mate. It is still baffling tome that the USDA cut theexport estimate in lastweek’s revision. It wouldhave made sense had theyraised the estimate, but thatwasn’t the case. The esti-mates we have seen out ofthe USDA regarding the soy-beans have been bizarreand in my mind they havelittle credibility, but theyare the numbers we have towork with. Unless salesslow dramatically we willsee the export estimate in-
creased in one of the nextfew reports, but I have noidea what may happen Mon-day.
The choice boxed beefmarket made a big jump thisweek gaining just over $8.00.It could be an aberration, orit could be a sign that theeconomy has stabilized.Whatever the case, if thegains are held, or builtupon, next week it shouldbode well for the cash cattlemarket. Cash cattle tradewas light as of early Fridayafternoon, but there werereports of cattle trading ashigh as $149 in Kansas.
December LC had a poorclose on Friday and onlygained 10 cents for theweek. The futures are overbought so a set back earlynext week is likely, but I stillthink we will eventually seea move up to the $96 area.Feeder cattle are in a simi-lar situation. The market isoverbought and will likely
see a pause, but if the cashcattle can move up anotherweek, we will eventually seemore gains in the feeder cat-tle.

CASHIER: Shirley Riek
Bred replacement heif-ers that will calve in Januaryor February should be in abody condition score six atthe time their first calf isborn.
“This allows the heifersthe best opportunity to pro-vide adequate colostrum tonewborns, repair the repro-ductive tract, return to heatcycles, rebreed on time fornext year and continue theirnormal body growth,” saidGlenn Selk, Oklahoma StateUniversity Cooperative Ex-tension cattle specialist.Heifers should be gaining 1.0to 1.5 pounds per head perday, from now until calvingtime. That means heiferswill need supplemental pro-tein if their major source offorage in the diet is bermu-dagrass, native pasture orgrass hay.
If the forage source is av-erage in quantity and quali-ty, 6 percent to 9 percentcrude protein, heifers willneed about 2 pounds of ahigh-protein supplementcontaining 38 percent to 44percent crude protein eachday.
“Remember that winterweather increases the ani-mal’s nutrient require-ments; the base recommen-dation will probably need tobe increased with higherquality hay such as alfalfa oradditional energy feed suchas 20 percent range cubes tooffset the effects of badweather,” Selk said.
Soybean hulls or wheat
mids also may be used tohelp ensure adequate ener-gy intake by pregnantheifers. Yes, wheat pasture— provided there is suffi-cient growth from rainfall —can be used as a supplementfor pregnant replacementheifers, provided it is usedjudiciously. Selk said judi-cious use is important be-cause pregnant heifers con-suming full feed of wheatpasture will gain about 3pounds per head per day;however, the heifers can be-come very fat and may sufferfrom dystocia if they are lefton the wheat too long.
“Wheat pasture can beused more efficiently forgain of stocker cattle orweaned replacement heif-ers,” he said. “If wheat pas-ture is used for bred heifers,use it as a protein supple-ment by allowing the heifersto access the wheat on alter-nate days.”
Some cow-calf producershave reported that one dayon wheat pasture and twodays on native grass orbermudagrass work well.
“It makes sense,” Selksaid. “This encourages theheifers to rustle in the warmseason pasture for the sec-
ond day, rather than juststand by the gate waiting tobe turned back into thewheat pasture.”
Whatever method is used,the ultimate goal is to get ahealthy calf on the groundwhile having the bred heif-
ers in good body conditionby calving so that they willgrow into fully developed,productive cows.
“Producers need to re-member that the two-year-old heifers are handicappedbecause their teeth are in
the process of changing frombaby teeth to adult teeth,”Selk said. Additional infor-mation from OSU Coopera-tive Extension on cattlemanagement is available athttp://beefextension.com onthe Internet.

By Miranda ReimanAt the local café two cat-
tlemen are discussing theidea of compensatory gain.
“I heard you can makemoney on calves this winterif you just get by, save by notfeeding much. Come spring,nature will provide a fewmore groceries and thecalves will make up for it,”one says.
“Makes no sense to me,”the other retorts. “If you lookat anything else in farming,from poultry to hogs, corn orwheat, it’s maximum produc-tion all the way.”
The cattle industry’s seg-ments are often poorlylinked. Traditionally, stock-ers or backgrounders heldthe option of “roughing”calves through the winter.The calves made up for losttime, compensated whenthey hit the feedlot, but at thecost of beef quality.
That kind of winteringfell out of favor a few yearsago when quality beef premi-ums soared, but some pro-ducers are taking a look backnow because of relativelyhigh feed prices and generalmarket uncertainty.
At the café, the first pro-ducer agrees. Thinking of hiscrop enterprises, he says,“Yeah, I guess we don’t with-hold nitrogen from a cornplant for 30 days for compen-satory gain or try to delay get-ting water to the soybeans.”
To be fair, beef cattleoffer some flexibility, andthere are half a dozen rea-sons why plans may includelow-gain wintering, from tax
benefits to marketing op-tions. But many producerscould realize an advantageto speeding up the process.
First, know why you’re inthe race. Then think aboutthe checkpoints on the wayto a finish line of profitable,higher quality beef.
After breeding, the nextbig decisions start withweaning. When and how arethe questions, and in a fast-paced scenario it’s the soon-er the better. Scientists sug-gest a target of 90 to 150 daysfor “early weaning.” If you’renot ready for that part of therace, just keep in mind stud-ies show it has many advan-tages, like better feed effi-ciency, higher quality beefand reduced cow costs.
The other question istougher. To load up bawlingcalves and send them downthe road could be expedient,but this is no time for shortcuts. It’s a relatively short pe-riod of time when speed cantake a back seat to quality.Starting calves on creepprior to weaning sets themup for a healthy start in thelot because the calves al-ready know how to eat. Thatreduces stress and, there-fore, sickness.
Regardless of how youmarket your calves, thoseare health bonuses. Pre-con-ditioned calves bring moreat the salebarn and if you re-tain ownership, you’ll reapthe rewards later throughboth performance and car-cass merit.
Historically, the stockerphase comes next, partly be-cause the cattle of yesterdayneeded some added frame.Today’s fast-growing, larger-framed cattle may not get asbig without doing time as astocker, but that’s not all bad.
The foodservice sectorrates ribeye size among itstop concerns. Taking moretime to produce more beef isnot always better whenyou’re cutting steaks to fit ona plate. Besides, currentstudies have shown that a de-creased plane of nutrition
after weaning decreasesmarbling potential.
If cattle have been heldback, feeding them longer inthe lot won’t recoup the qual-ity grade. Marbling deposi-tion starts early and they’vemissed their chance. Ex-perts say a quality-friendlyequation must keep up thegains, at least 2 pounds perday or more, depending onframe size.
So if you really want toput the racer’s edge on yourherd, forget stockered year-lings. Instead of sendingthem to the feedyard at 12months, send the calves andsee them finished with
money in the bank at 13months. It’s being done, andthe winner’s purse is hefty.
A few perks include bet-ter use of pasture resources,increased carcass value andquicker feedback on howyour current program isworking. Of course some ofthose only apply to cattle-men who partner or feedtheir own calves, but thereare buyers who look for cat-tle that are on the fast trackto success.
Those two producersdrain their cups and wind uptheir chat.
“Sometimes I hear calvespromoted as ‘green,’ or thin,”
one says, reaching for hiscoat. “I want efficiency, but Idon’t buy them because ofthe hidden costs.”
His friend nods. “I’m notafraid to buy creep-fedcalves. They know how to eatstay on track for an early fin-ish.”
Sounds like a winningplan — at the bank for deliv-ering early cash flow andfrom the consumer for deliv-ering better beef.

By Bill SpiegelVic Knauf believes there
is great potential in solvingsome of the agronomicproblems that plague wheatproducers.
Knauf is the chief scien-tific officer at Arcadia Bio-sciences, Davis, California.The company developsplants that improve the en-vironment and are benefi-cial to human health. AndArcadia is developing Ni-trogen Use Efficiency tech-nology in wheat.
“It varies by crop andlocation, but generally,50% of the nitrogen farm-ers apply to the ground, theplant will never use,”Knauf told wheat producersat this week’s fall boardmeeting of the U.S. WheatAssociates and NationalAssociation of WheatGrowers. So Knauf’s com-pany has fine-tuned tech-nology developed by theUniversity of Alberta,Canada, to develop and testNUE in cereal crops.
Researchers have eightseasons of data in NorthDakota, Minnesota andCalifornia, indicating farm-ers can achieve the sameyield of canola with theNUE trait using one-thirdthe nitrogen that conven-tional canola requires.Early research in riceshows that, with NUE tech-nology, a half-rate of nitro-gen still results in highertiller count and increasedpanicle numbers.
Arcadia has developedand licensed NUE technol-ogy to a number of compa-nies in several crops, in-cluding Monsanto forcanola and Pioneer for
corn. For wheat, the chal-lenge of adopting biotechis greater. Not only is thegrain readily consumed byhumans – a sticky wicketwhen it comes to biotechadoption – but the bulk ofthe nation’s wheat researchoccurs at land-grant univer-sities and USDA Agricul-tural Research Service fa-cilities. Therefore, biotechresearch companies likeArcadia must develop li-censing agreements witheach institution in order torecoup their research in-vestment.
Wheat leaders are work-ing to develop a less cum-bersome means of creatinglicensing agreements.
That’s a good thing, asbiotechnology investmentin wheat can bring about ahost of traits that makewheat a much more sus-tainable crop. These in-clude traits such as droughttolerance, which allowsmore bushels to be grownwith less water; fusariumtolerance, which preventsfungus development and ofcourse, Arcadia’s nitrogen
use efficiency.The reluctance to invest
in biotechnology is a battlethat NAWG and U.S.Wheat have waged foryears. Hope, however, is onthe horizon.
“The key is to get inter-national acceptance,” saysDaren Coppock, chief ex-ecutive officer of NAWG.Therefore, NAWG is work-ing with wheat grower or-ganizations in Australia andCanada to develop a pro-biotechnology statementsigned by all three coun-tries. Such a document,presented to key exportcountries, would illustratethat the three nations areserious about committing
to adopting biotechnologyin wheat in a safe, scientif-ic approach.
“We want to be unifiedso that one country cannotleverage itself against theothers,” Coppock says.
Meanwhile, the NAWGis preparing a survey thatgauges wheat farmers’ col-lective acceptance ofbiotechnology. Surveys arebeing prepared now forearly 2009 distribution tothe nation’s wheat farmers,in which farmers can indi-cate whether they embracebiotech advancements inwheat. The goal is to havethe survey results tabulatedby the end of February,2009.
Biotech wheat requires international influenceWAKARUSA (AP) — The body of a 49-year-old man
missing since September was found in a Shawnee Countybarn last Tuesday.
The body of Larry Carls, of Wakarusa, was discoveredaround 1:30 p.m. by his father. William Dale Carls was onhis way to work in a field on the family’s property whenhe went to check an unsecured barn door and discoveredhis son’s body.
Deputies said he had been dead for several weeks.Larry Carls had been missing since leaving his home
in the middle of the night on Sept. 9, according to hissister, Vera Brinkman. Carls left a note for his wife andfour-year-old son that night, saying he needed to get awayand be alone so he could “find out what God wanted himto do.”
Brinkman said Carls was associated with a religiousgroup that promotes fasting and had lost about 50 poundsafter two seven-day fasts in July and August.

MILWAUKEE (AP) —Wisconsin’s cranberry har-vesters had some help thisyear from far, far away.
Japanese marketerspitched in to rake berriesduring a multi-day tour de-signed to educate them onthe fruit they hope to sell totheir countrymen.
Back home, they will runrecipe contests and overseean infomercial and a glossymagazine spread featuring aThanksgiving feast at theU.S. embassy in Tokyo.
Their work is the latest ina strong marketing effort bythe American cranberry in-dustry to create a more stablemarket for the fruit follow-ing a severe price crash inthe late 1990s.
Japan-based marketing
expert Izumi Amano saidmost of her work for theCranberry Marketing Com-mittee will focus on educat-ing Japan’s health-consciousconsumers about cranber-ries’ nutritional benefits.
It’s an approach that hasserved her well in promotingfoods for the USA Poultryand Egg and California Pis-tachio export councils. Shehas touted turkey as high inprotein and low in caloriesand promoted pistachios tomiddle-age men and womenconcerned about cholesterol.
“We are an aging socie-ty,” Amano said. “Sooner orlater, one-fourth of popula-tion will be over age 60years old.”
Farm industry marketingprograms are exceptional in-
vestments, said Richard Sex-ton, an agricultural econo-mist at the University of Cal-ifornia at Davis. Studiesshow most generate at least$2 in profit for every dollarspent, and many have muchhigher returns.
Some are so successful,they become part of the pop-ular culture. Consider theAmerican Egg Board’s “in-credible edible egg,” the Na-tional Cattlemen’s Beef As-sociation’s “Beef, It’sWhat’s for Dinner,” and theCalifornia Milk ProcessorBoard’s “Got Milk?”
Consultant Rodger Was-son, who has worked to pro-mote almonds, strawberriesand pork, said successfulmarketing starts with re-search on foods’ nutritional
and health benefits. Some-times, industry groups payfor studies themselves.
In the case of almonds,the Almond Board of Cali-fornia found people wereconcerned that eating nutswould raise their cholesterol— a belief its research wasable to refute.
“That’s the sort of thingan industry could do that, butno individual company coulddo it,” Wasson said. “Noranymore could you expectthe publicly funded researchto do it. There just aren’t thedollars.”
Both the messages andthe means marketers use tospread them have becomemore sophisticated in thepast 10 to 15 years, he said.Marketers who once focusedon television advertising
now target consumers withmagazine articles, Web sitesand grocery displays. Theyalso reach out to doctors andothers who can influencepeople’s eating habits.
Amid the growing com-petition, industry groupssuch as the Cherry Market-ing Institute and the IdahoPotato Commission havebrought in new leaders to up-grade their programs.
The tart cherry industrylaunched a new, health-fo-cused campaign in 2006after deciding it needed tochange “its image from cher-ry pie, George Washington,
sticky, gooey” to competewith blueberries and otherso-called superfruits, saidJeff Manning, chief market-ing officer for the CherryMarketing Institute.
Today, cherries are theNo. 2 superfruit behind blue-berries in terms of publicity,Manning said. That, in turn,has generated demand. Man-ning was particularly heart-ened when Starbucks recent-ly introduced a cherry sconeafter years of baking withblueberries and cranberries.
“You look at that busi-

Composting is prettyeasy. It is the one gardeningactivity that our kids do on aroutine basis. Even thekindergartener helps. Thekitchen fruit and vegetablescraps are dumped on to thepile regularly.
Compost is the end resultof combining plant materi-als with the aid of micro-organisms into a productmuch like soil. Only, it isbetter. Brown or deadplants are mixed with greenor not completely deadplants to be broken downinto soil-like conditions.
Our pile is a slow com-poster. That means that the
raw materials are dumpedas needed. There is no con-cern with layers of brownsand greens in any orderlymanner. The pile dries outbetween rains. Occasional-ly, the pile will get turned.
A compost pile is neces-sary for those on a septicsystem. We divert itemsgoing down the garbage dis-posal which fills up the sep-tic tank. These products arefine for the septic system. Itjust needs to be pumped outsooner.
Many items besides sal-ad scrapes go into thepile. Most recently wasthe carved jack-o-lanterns.
Newsprint, leaves, sawdust,dead potted plants, card-board and acorns are a fewitems that have been addedover the years. Sometimesthe fireplace ashes areadded. Another use of ashesis to inhibit plant growthsuch as under a fence.
Construction of a com-post bin can vary range fromthe elaborate to the simple.We chose the simple byusing some cement blocksthat we already had. The in-side diameter is 5 feet by 5feet by 4 feet tall. Wood pal-lets make a good-size com-post pile. They are oftenavailable for free from busi-
nesses. Attractive commer-cial bins are also available.
Compost can be madeslowly or with some effortsped up. It just depends onthe composter. To learnmore about composting, youcan stop by your local Ex-tension office. A publica-tion on "Making and UsingCompost at Home" is avail-able on the Web at www.oznet.ksu.edu.
Just like gardening, peo-ple have their own tech-niques of composting. In theend, it all decomposes andis good for mixing in withour Kansas soils.

ness, and you say, ‘If wecan’t convince Starbucks toinclude cherries, probablydried, we’re going to missout,"’ Manning said. “Youhave to be in the manufac-tured products, the bakeryproducts, the yogurts or thecereals.”
In better times, the IdahoPotato Commission targetedchefs to get potatoes onmenus in fine restaurants.Now, it emphasizes that amedium potato costs lessthan 25 cents to serve andprovides a host of nutrients.
“We look at what’s hap-pening in the marketplaceand dovetail our programs tofit the needs of the con-sumer,” president and chiefexecutive Frank Muir said.
The potato campaign alsopushes a brand — Idahopotatoes — which mostagricultural marketing pro-grams don’t. But it’s an ap-
proach Dennis Courtierhopes to see more of in theapple industry.
The owner and chief ex-ecutive of an orchard inMinnesota, Courtier helpedlaunch the Honeycrispapple. Next year, a growers’cooperative he founded willintroduce a new variety,SweeTango. It’s alreadystarted the marketing cam-paign by sending the applesto food writers, producebuyers and others who caninfluence public taste.
The goal, Courtier said, isto persuade people to eatmore apples and fresh fruitoverall. But, he said, mar-keters have to regularly givepeople something new to try.
“Eventually, you have toobsolete your own productor someone else will,” hesaid. “How come there’s 47new flavors of Doritos all thetime?”

Medicare prescription drug plans are changing for2009. Five drug plans will no longer be available and onenew plan has been added making forty-eight drug plansKansans can choose from for 2009. If your plan is one ofthe five not offered in 2009, enroll in a new plan to be sureyou have drug coverage.
Each year the open enrollment for Medicare prescrip-tion drug plans is November 15, to December 31. Duringthe open enrollment, anyone eligible for Medicare canenroll for the first time or change their plan.
If you are currently enrollment in a Medicare drugplan, the plan must send you a notice of changes in pre-miums and coverage for 2009. So if you have received apacket of information from your plan, open and read it.Check for changes in premium, deductible, and if yourdrugs are still on the formulary. The majority of drugplans show a premium increase for 2009. Some have asubstantial increase. A listing of all the drug plans forKansas can be found at the Central Kansas Extension Dis-trict website: www.centralkansas.ksu.edu.
In 2009 the maximum deductible for a Medicare drugplan is $295. Several plans are available with zero de-ductible.
The “gap” or “donut hole” for 2009 is from $2,700 to$6,153.75. That means when the total cost of your drugs —what you have paid and what the drug plan has paid —equals $2,700, you start to pay full price for your drugs.
No plan offers coverage for brand name drugs in the gap,but several plans offer coverage for generic drugs in thegap.
To determine which of the 48 plans will cover yourdrugs at the least cost to you and be accepted at yourpharmacy, you must compare plans.
There are several ways to compare plan, but they alluse the Medicare Drug Plan finder on the web. Go towww.medicare.gov and click on 2009 drug plans. Or call1-800-Medicare and a Medicare counselor will assistyou. Another option is to call a SHICK counselor (SeniorHealth Insurance Counselor for Kansas). When you do,have a list of your of drugs along with the name of yourcurrent plan and your Medicare card.
To compare, look at the total annual cost of the plannot just the monthly premiums. Also check if there areany restrictions such as pre-authorization, quantity lim-its, or step therapy.
There are several ways you can enroll in a Medicaredrug plan: at the Medicare web site www.medicare.gov,call the plan (phone numbers are in the back of the 2009Medicare and You booklet), call 1-800-Medicare-1-800-633-4227, or have a SHICK counselor assist you. When you en-roll in a new plan, it will automatically stop your old planas of January 1, 2009.
To reach a SHICK counselor, call the Kansas SHICKhotline at 1-800-860-5260. They can connect you with acounselor in your area. The Area Agency on Aging canalso provide names of SHICK counselors in your area.
SHICK counselors for Saline and Ottawa counties areMary Lou Odle, Extension Agent, (785) 309-5850, DonnaHansen, (785) 825-0958, Milt Roth, (785) 827-1664, and Char-lotte Johnson, (785) 392-2882.
If you like the drug plan you had in 2008 and want tostay with it for 2009, you do not have to do anything if theplan is offered in 2009.
Open enrollment for Medicare Advantage plans, orMedicare C starts November 15. Medicare Advantageplans are health plans offered by private companies thatreplace your Medicare A and B coverage and yourMedicare supplement plan.
Medicare Advantage premiums are often smaller thanMedicare supplement premiums. With Medicare Advan-tage plans, you are responsible for co-payments for doc-tors, lab tests, and hospitals and other services. SomeMedicare Advantage plans include a drug plan, others donot. Many plans have increased co-payments and maxi-mum yearly out of pocket expenses. Always check thatyour doctor and hospital will accept the Medicare Advan-tage plan before you sign up.
When you are on Medicare, it is wise to compare yourdrug plans and other health insurance coverage eachyear. Remember, just because your friend has a certainplan and likes it, that plan may not be the best one foryou. Talk to your kids or grandkids. They can help youcompare plans at www.medicare.gov. Make any changesby early December so you have the new plan informationby January 1, 2009.

The U.S. Departmentof Agriculture (USDA) hasgranted approval of Myco-mune® R, a vaccine tohelp prevent respiratorydisease in calves causedby Mycoplasma bovis.This new vaccine, whichcontains antigens againstfour economically impor-tant strains of M. bovis,can be administered tobeef and dairy calves asyoung as three weeks ofage. Mycomune R was de-veloped by CEVA Bio-mune, a manufacturer ofvaccines for animals, andis being marketed exclu-sively in the UnitedStates by AgriLabs.
Mycomune R containsthe same four highly im-munogenic protectivestrains found in the cur-rent Biomune Co. productMycomune, which hasbeen available for threeyears and is the onlyUSDA-approved vaccinefor the prevention andcontrol of mastitis causedby Mycoplasma bovis inmature cows. Mycomune
R has a withdrawal peri-od of only 21 days. Recom-mended use for Myco-mune R is an initial vacci-nation of 2 mL adminis-tered subcutaneously in
the neck, followed by twosubsequent doses at twoto four week intervals.
For more informationabout new Mycomune R,visit www.AgriLabs.com,
call 1-800-542-8916 or con-tact your local AgriLabsrepresentative.
The fall-breeding season is upon us, and that means herdmanagers need to keep an eye on bulls to make certaincows are being bred.
Occasionally, a bull that has passed a breeding sound-ness exam may have difficulty serving cows in heat, espe-cially after heavy service, cautions Glenn Selk, OklahomaState University Cooperative Extension cattle specialist.
“In terms of calf-crop percent, the inability of a bull tocomplete normal service and low fertility are more detri-mental than failure to detect cows in heat,” he said. “Suchproblems can best be detected by observing bulls whilethey work.” In other words, cattle producers should protecttheir investment by watching bulls actually mate with cowsduring the first part of each breeding season.
“If problems are apparent, there is time to replace thebull and salvage the remainder of the breeding season and
next year’s calf crop,” Selk said.Also, some bulls can wear out from heavy service and
lose interest in mating. These animals must be replaced assoon as possible.
“The greater the number of cows allotted to each bull inthe breeding pasture, the more critical it is that every bullbe ready to work every day of the breeding season,” Selksaid.
In addition, injuries to bulls during the breeding seasonare not uncommon.
“When a bull becomes lame or incapable of breedingbecause of injury to his reproductive tract, the animal needsto be removed from the breeding pasture and replaced withanother herd sire,” Selk said.
Additional information on bull management is availableat http://beefextension.com on the Internet.
Observe bulls closely during breeding season

Weather is the greatesttest of a farmer’s manage-ment. Farmers do every-thing according to theweather, from the spring ofthe year until after the har-vest. The weather deter-mines the priorities of theday. A farmer’s judgmentmatters. Margins are toothin for bad decisions. Thatis stress. The only time itdoesn’t matter is when he isall caught up and that isn’toften.
Late season rains haveadded severe stress to whathas otherwise been a goodgrowing year. Farmers areon edge with anxiety andimpatience about gettingtheir crops out. The harvestis slow and farmers are
looking at small windows ofopportunity to get theircrops off. The corn is wetand winter is coming. Thisis no small thing in the Mid-west and upper Midwest.
So how do farmers copewith the stress of weather?The weather isn’t an enemy.It is what it is. Thoughstressful, winning the battlewith weather brings feel-ings of satisfaction and ac-complishment. It validatesa farmer’s skill.
There are some things towatch for when fall harvestis beset with weather prob-lems: worry, haste, fatigueand frustration.
Task complexity andworry. Accidents happenwhen farmers attempt acomplicated task with se-quential steps while preoc-cupied with other matters.
Solution: Postpone worryuntil later. Use mental dis-cipline to focus on the hereand now.
Haste. Today’s high pow-ered tractors and combinestravel at double the speedsof ten or 15 years ago. Farm-ers can be lulled by theirown thoughts while travel-ing at these higher rates ofspeed.
Solution: Operator atten-
tiveness has to match the in-creased ground speed atwhich they are traveling.Farmers can turn the radioon to block out thinkingtime. Farmers need anextra sense of awareness ofthe space around them andthe technology they areusing.
Sheer fatigue. Farmshave grown in size to thepoint where farm operatorspush past their physicallimits.
Solution: Change opera-tors or pull over and take ashort nap. Eat nutritiousmeals. Take away the coffeecup and the poor diet thatgoes with long hours. Forlate evening work, a secondmeal late at night adds en-ergy.
Anger and frustration.Being angry and frustratedtakes energy. Trying to sup-press anger and hostilitytakes energy.
Solution: Farmers needan outlet to discuss andprocess their anger. Decideto deal with certain matterslater. This decision removesthe need to be agitated andangry at the moment, know-ing that the issue will bedealt with in a timely fash-ion.
Personality characteris-tics are more pronouncedduring stressful times.
A typical farmer or ranch-er personality profile. Mostfarmers or ranchers andtheir spouses would agreewith this description ofthemselves: hard workers,conservative decision-mak-ers, practical, orderly, or-ganized, matter-of-fact, re-alistic, and dependable.They feel a strong sense ofduty. They value belongingand contributing. They arepatient with routine and de-tail. Success comes becauseof their ability to be persist-ent and conscientious.
Farmers and ranchersfocus on the “here and now”problems and expect the fu-ture to take care of itself.They have a need to be incontrol and take control ofsituations when they can.They trust their own judg-ment and analysis. They areindependent almost to afault.
Some common weakness-es. Every set of strengthshas its flip side. The samequalities that serve farmerswell in their profession cancause problems for them-selves and others close tothem. Family members of afarmer or rancher see someof these negative character-istics more than they wouldlike.
Farmers and rancherstake a lot for granted. Theyare known to be critical,sarcastic or impatient. Theytend to overwork while hav-ing difficulty with leisureand relaxation. They have ahard time expressing loveor appreciation. Because
they have high standards ofperformance, they rarelyrecognize or comment onthe efforts of others unlessit is truly exceptional.
Farmers and rancherstend toward a “doom andgloom” appraisal of the fu-ture. They are not generallyopen to new ideas unlessthey are practical, realisticand related to his or hercurrent mode of operation.They may not see the signif-icance of changing times,outside forces or new devel-opments.
Farmers under stress.What kinds of situations aremost stressful for farmersor ranchers with this per-sonality profile? They feelstressed out when: theirplans are blocked, whenthings don’t go right, whenthere are too many dead-lines. Harvest pressures fitthis profile.
they are confronted witheconomic uncertainty, whenthey lack control, when theycan’t correct the problem,when the risks are great.Quality of the crop affectsfinancial prospects.
They are faced with con-flict or confrontation, whenthere are too many people
demands, when they feelmisunderstood, when theyfeel let down by someone.Potential for conflict, impa-tience, and misunderstand-ings increases during atough harvest. They don’tmeet their own expecta-tions, when they make amistake, when they feel likethey’ve failed. Perfection-ist, focused and drivenfarmers expect a lot ofthemselves and can blamethemselves excessively.

Farmers and ranchermembers of the state’sleading agriculture advo-cacy organization havereached consensus ontheir 2009 public policyroadmap and selectedtheir leadership.
More than 400 FarmBureau voting delegates,representing each of thestate’s 105 counties gath-ered in Manhattan Nov. 6-8 for the 90th AnnualMeeting of Kansas FarmBureau.
The Farm Bureau vot-
ing delegates re-electedOttawa County grainfarmer Steve Baccus to atwo-year term as presi-dent of the organization.The delegates also re-elected George Pretz,Miami County; BobVoegele, Cowley County;Jerry McReynolds, RooksCounty; John Stegman,Ford County and LindaFranklin, Sherman Coun-ty, to positions on theKansas Farm BureauBoard of Directors.
In his message to the
Farm Bureau delegateson Friday, Nov. 7, KansasFarm Bureau presidentSteve Baccus scanned theagricultural, economicand political horizon andencouraged the Farm Bu-reau faithful to remainengaged.
“Budget pressures willdrive the agenda in Wash-ington for the foreseeablefuture. The political willto sustain direct pay-ments to farmers simplymay not exist when wewrite the next farm bill,”
said Baccus. “If directpayments are going away,if conservation and ener-gy debates are going todominate farm policy —our organization needs to
lead that discussion.”The heart of the
Kansas Farm Bureau an-nual meeting is the dele-gate resolution process.The policy resolutionsadopted by voting dele-gates in Manhattan willbecome KFB’s 2009 policyroadmap for agricultureadvocacy efforts beforelocal planning and zoningboards, county commis-sions, the state legisla-ture and the U.S. Con-gress. The resolutions ap-proved at the KFB Annu-al Meeting are the resultof a yearlong grassrootseffort, involving inputfrom county Farm Bureaumembers throughoutKansas.
The Farm Bureau vot-ing delegates adoptedlanguage aimed at ensur-ing the availability ofcredit, expanding exportmarkets, encouraging eco-nomic stability and cre-ation of a tax structurethat considers the specif-ic needs of farmers andother small businesses.
The national farm poli-cy resolutions approvedby the KFB delegates will
be carried to the Ameri-can Farm Bureau Federa-tion resolutions processthrough the end of theyear and voting delegatesfrom Kansas will join
their counterparts fromother states in a similarconsensus-building exer-cise at the AFBF AnnualMeeting in January inSan Antonio.

Pat and Lois O’Shea of Hoyt have been "most happy"with the bulls they’ve purchased in the past from theIrvine Ranch and bought new Simmental sires in thefirm’s recent annual production sale at the Manhattansale barn.
The whooping cranes are back. Eachyear, some of these birds — the largestand rarest of North American cranes —make a stop in central Kansas, at
Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area, nearGreat Bend, or Quivira National WildlifeRefuge, about 30 miles south of CheyenneBottoms.
Currently, officials at both sites are re-porting the presence of whoopers.Cheyenne Bottoms staff reported eightbirds on Nov. 4, and an undeterminednumber of birds have been reported atQuivira as well as another small groupseveral miles south. As a result, CheyenneBottoms has closed the hunting of sand-hill cranes and white geese on the area’sfiring line until further notice. Quivira hassuspended all hunting on the national
refuge until further notice. Approximately 260 whoopers will mi-
grate from Wood Buffalo National Park inthe Canadian Northwest Territories toAransas National Wildlife Refuge on theGulf Coast of Texas this fall. This takesthem directly through the center of theCentral Flyway, offering Kansas wildlifewatchers an opportunity to see one of therarest birds in the world.
Officials with the Kansas Departmentof Wildlife and Parks and the U.S. Fishand Wildlife Service will monitor thebirds’ movements and lift hunting restric-tions once they are certain the whoopershave moved south. For current informa-tion on Cheyenne Bottoms, phone (620)793-3066. For information on Quivira,phone (620) 486-2393.

Can you afford not to have aSioux hoop shelter?
Based on a conservative cost of hay at $40 per ton, over a15 yr. expected life span of a hoop shelter:• A 36’ X 100’ hoop (holds approx. 360 round 5’ bales) can save $23,828.• A 42’ X 100’ hoop (holds approx. 420 round 5’ bales) can save $35,563.• A 56’ X 100’ hoop (holds approx. 540 round 5’ bales) can save $52,080.
Hoop shelters save even more bypreserving the nutrient value of your hay.
University studies show that bales left uncovereddeteriorate from 16.87% to 24.10% in a year’s time.
It’s not what it costs,it’s what it SAVES!

When the economy getsrough, family life getsrougher.
Economic stress causesindividual and familystress, triggering depres-sion, blame games, angerand sometimes violence,according to Kristy Archu-leta, assistant professor inthe College of HumanEcology’s School of Fami-ly Studies and HumanServices at Kansas StateUniversity.
Archuleta, a licensedmarriage and family thera-pist, also is a facultymember in K-State’s Insti-tute of Personal FinancialPlanning. The institute isexploring new methods tohelp families cope witheconomic hard times.
“We hope to bridge fi-nancial planning and mar-riage and family therapyto form a type of financialtherapy, where financialplanners and relationshiptherapists work together toprovide comprehensivetreatment to clients experi-encing financial distress,”Archuleta said.
“In many ways, finan-cial issues and familystress events are interrelat-ed,” said John Grable, aK-State professor of fami-ly studies and human serv-ices who also leads theInstitute of Financial Plan-
ning. “In some cases theway in which individualsand families manage theirpersonal financial situationhas a direct impact on thestress felt in the house-hold.”
For example, suppose ahusband habitually spendsmoney without his wife’sapproval. In addition toadding debt to the family’sbalance sheet, it is likelythat this behavior increasesmarital stress, Grablesaid.
Today’s financial plan-ners and counselors arepretty good at helping thefamily work out the debtissue, but they are unpre-pared to address the emo-tional aspects of the be-havior, Grable said. Mar-riage and family therapists,on the other hand, havethe skills necessary to helpthe family work throughthe emotional issues sur-rounding the behavior, butthey are weaker in givingfinancial guidance.
“What is missing is theintersection between themoney and emotionalrealm,” Grable said. “Thisis where we think finan-cial therapists will findtheir niche. A financialtherapist will be able toblend financial counselingwith basic therapy tech-niques. Students in our
new Ph.D. financial plan-ning program will have anopportunity to study finan-cial therapy.”
Archuleta exemplifiesthis crossover. She has adoctorate in marriage andfamily therapy and sheteaches in the personal fi-nancial planning program.A founding member ofWomen Managing theFarm, she specializes intherapy for rural and farmfamilies, working withcouples experiencing finan-cial issues.
“Research tells us thatcouples realize when theyhave relationship problems,and they realize when theyhave financial problems —but they often don’t real-ize which might be thekey to their marital prob-lems and they are unsurewhere to turn,” Archuletasaid.
“We look at four fac-tors that affect the dynam-ics of a relationship,” shesaid. “First, do couples
have similar views on fi-nancial goals — savings,spending and investing?Second, do they respecteach other’s view?”
Respect, said Archuleta,is more important thanhaving the same goals andviews.
Third, do they trusteach other when it comesto money? This is a giantissue in today’s economicclimate, she said. “I seestress up, depression upand trust down. It’s hardto trust when you feelvulnerable,” Archuleta said.
Fourth, do couples havethe communication skillsto talk about money evenwhen they disagree? “Myresearch has shown thathow you communicate isnot as important as havingshared goals and values,”she said. “This is mostlikely due to the respectfactor, which appears tomore important than hav-ing the same goals andviews.”
Exploring new methods to help families cope in hard times
Experts recommendways families canlower financial stress
Financial problems are often a family problem andparents need to manage stress so they do not transfertheir anxiety onto their children, according to experts atKansas State University.
John Grable and Kristy Archuleta of K-State’s Person-al Financial Planning Institute, say it is important forparents to not pass along their stress about financial mat-ters in these tight economic times to their children.
“Creating anxiety in children creates more problems,said Archuleta, an assistant professor of family studiesand human services, licensed marriage and family thera-pist and a faculty member with the Personal FinancialPlanning Institute. “Children pick up a parent’s stressquickly because they can feel tension and can read non-verbal communication. “
From belt-tightening to losing a house, life-changingtransitions are hard on children, Archuleta said. Be openwith children, but don’t give them too much informationabout issues that are adult issues and not children’s is-sues, she said.
She suggests that if you have to take something awayfrom a child, like piano lessons or pizza every Friday, shesuggests substituting something like family night in thekitchen and attending free concerts.
Archuleta and John Grable, a K-State professor offamily studies and human services and head of the Per-sonal Financial Planning Institute, suggest several meth-ods to lower financial stress:
First, have an emergency fund of at least three monthsworth of living expenses in a safe account. What mattersis a savings plan that is dedicated to building that emer-gency reserve, Grable recommended.
Second, discuss financial goals regularly. Theychange, Archuleta said, as the family changes withbirths, retirements, college graduations, job changes andother events.
Third, talk about individual financial risk tolerance.“The real issue comes down to preference, perceptionand tolerance,” Grable said. “Most people prefer to avoidfinancial risk. Why take risk if I don’t have to?
“Second, how we perceive risk is different from oth-ers. I might have a preference to avoid risk, but not per-ceive the stock market as risky,” he said. “In the end,though, risk tolerance does really matter. Risk tolerancerefers to a person’s willingness to take risk. For example,I might prefer not to take risk; I might also perceive thestock market as risk, but in the end, I might be willing totake the risk anyway. Why? To maximize my long-term re-turns.”
Grable said it is essential for a married couple toknow the risk tolerance of each partner. If the husbandmakes the investment decisions and his risk tolerance issignificantly higher than the wife’s tolerance, this couldlead to stress within the relationship.
“Knowing risk tolerance differences at the outset caneliminate many financial arguments and stressors,” hesaid.
Archuleta offers a final piece of advice for parents: Begood examples.
“Children learn financial and stress managementfrom their parents,” she said. “Especially in economical-ly turbulent times, they can learn to talk about how tosave and spend money effectively, and to seek help whenneeded."

Let’s talk about Paints.No, not the kind used byartists to create pictures, I’mtalking about PaintHorses — those beautifulhorses with the flashy skincolors. Today we’ll meet anationally acclaimed PaintHorse trainer, breeder andshowman. He’s based inrural Kansas.
Kevin Hood is the ownerof Kevin Hood Show Hors-es. Kevin grew up likinghorses. His father was in theArmy, so they literallymoved all over the world,but his grandfather lived inSherman, Texas whereKevin went for the sum-mers. When Kevin was tiny,his grandfather took him tohorse sales. Kevin startedbuying and selling horseslike his grandpa.
As Kevin’s father’s mili-tary career was windingdown, the family thoughtabout a place to retire. WithTexas becoming urbanized,they looked for a more rurallocation and chose FortRiley. The family moved
here in 1975 and fell in lovewith it. They bought a farmnear the rural community ofWestmoreland, population628. Now, that’s rural.
Kevin says, “We camehere and loved it.” He’dgrown up around horses, butnow he came to learn thatthere is an art and science tohorse training. He embarkedon a training and showingcareer which would takehim to various horse ranchesaround the country. As hehad success, people encour-aged him to work with thoseflashy Paint Horses.
When Kevin and hiswife Kathy wanted to start afamily, they came back toKansas. Kevin says, “I’velived all over, but I’m herebecause this is where I wantto be.”
Today, Kevin Hood spe-cializes in training, show-ing, breeding, shippingsemen, and sellinghorses — especially Paints.Kevin says, “I grew uparound ranchers and stock-men, so I can pick a colt and
know what he’s going to bein a couple of years.” Thatability to develop horses hasproven to be a significantasset.
He recalls another lessonfrom his early days. Kevinsays, “We were sitting withan old rancher at a café inTexas when his grown soncame in and told about buy-ing a neighbor lady’s cattle.The old rancher asked whathe gave for `em. His sontold him the price, whichwas below market value butwas exactly the price thatthis lady asked. The old mangot real upset. He said,“Now, you know better thanthat. You know the realvalue of those cattle. You getup right now and go pay herwhat those cattle wereworth.” And he did.” Kevinsays, “I saw the importanceof doing the right thing andtreating people fair.”
Kevin has put his valuesto work while using moderntechnology. He says, “Whenwe moved here we had atwo-party line. An inde-pendent phone companycame in and upgraded ourtelephone and Internet.Thanks to my daughters, Ican sit here in small townUSA and do business allover the country.” Theirwebsite is www.kevinhood-showhorses.com.
Today, Kevin attractscustomers from all over the
country and even overseas,as far away as Australia,Italy, and Sweden. His suc-cess in the show ring isamazing, having shownsome 33 reserve or worldchampion horses.
He says, “I’m especiallyproud that they’ve come indifferent areas. They’re notall in halter or westernpleasure classes, for exam-ple.”
That’s like MichaelPhelps winning Olympicgold medals in track andbasketball, in addition toswimming.
But Kevin and Kathyhave values that are moreimportant than theshowring. Kevin says, “It’sreally about helping thepeople behind the horses.And it’s great to see mydaughters learn and grow inself- confidence.” DaughterKally was on K-State’sworld champion horse judg-ing team. Daughter Katelyntakes online high schoolclasses while on the horseshow circuit. Kevin says,“Working with them is a giftand a blessing.”
We commend Kevin andKathy and Kally and Kate-lyn Hood for making a dif-ference by using their loveof horses to build an interna-tionally known business.For family values in ruralKansas, it paints a prettypicture.

The Kansas Rural Cen-ter will hold its annual sus-tainable agriculture confer-ence Saturday December13, with the theme “Meet-ing Agriculture’s Chal-lenges in a Rapidly Chang-ing World.” The one dayconference will be held atSt.Monica-St. ElizabethCatholic Church, 1007 EastAvenue, Blue Rapids, be-ginning at 9 a.m. and end-ing at 4:30 p.m.
The purpose of the con-ference is to provide an op-portunity to discuss the bigpicture of agriculture in thistime of increasing inputcosts,volatile markets andhigh energy prices, providepractical information on al-ternative marketing andproduction ideas throughworkshops, and provide op-portunities for farmer,rancher, and consumer net-working.
Keynote speaker will beDr. Fred Kirschenmann,Distinguished Fellow forthe Leopold Center for Sus-tainable Agriculture at IowaState University. Also,since January 2008,Kirschenmann has held ahalf-time appointment atthe Stone Barns Center forFood and Agriculture inPocantico Hills, New York,exploring ways that ruraland urban communities can
work together to develop amore resilient food systemand agriculture. He divideshis time between Iowa andNew York, as well as over-seeing his family’s 3500-acre organic farm in NorthDakota. Dr. Kirschenmannwill talk about the chal-lenges of climate change,high input costs, expensiveenergy, and volatile mar-kets, and what we need todo to respond.
Kirschenmann is a longtime leader in national andinternational sustainableagriculture, speakingaround the country helpingto define the challenges fac-ing agriculture and the“thinking outside the box”necessary to address thesechanges. “The principalreason industrial agricul-ture has been so success-ful during the past cen-tury is that is has beenblessed with cheap energy,abundant water, and re-latively stable climates.That rosy landscape seemspoised to undergo rapidand significant change,”Kirschenmann wrote in apaper presented to the AgHistory Conference in2007.
“The elephant in theroom,” he stated during an-other speech, “is whetherwe can make the changes
we need to make in thetimeframe we have avail-able to us.”
Dr. Daryl Buchholz,Kansas State University,College of Agriculture, andDonn Teske, Kansas Farm-ers Union president, andothers to be announced,will offer a response to Dr.Kirschenmann’s remarks,followed by audience dis-cussion about agricultureand the food system’s fu-ture.
The afternoon offers sixworkshops covering a rangeof practical information in-cluding switching to grassbased livestock systems, re-ducing input costs with in-tegrated crop and livestocksystems, local and regionalfood system opportunities,how to produce food foryour neighbors and com-munity, transitioning to or-
ganic farming, and on-farmand community wind en-ergy options.
The conference is beingheld in the parish hall of theSt. Monica-St. ElizabethCatholic Church at 1007East Avenue, in BlueRapids. Blue Rapids is lo-cated about an hour northof Manhattan. The churchis located in Blue Rapids 5blocks south of Hwy 9 and77 on East Avenue.
Registration is $10 perperson, and will coverlunch, snacks, and materi-als. Reservations are need-ed in advance to ensure ameal ticket.

As sunlight hours dwindle and give way to chillywinter days, people are turning to auxiliary heatsources, said State of Kansas Climatologist MaryKnapp.
Whether this heat source is an old-fashioned woodstove or a modern furnace, if it involves combustion, itbrings the risk of carbon monoxide, said Knapp, whoheads the Kansas Weather Data Library based withKansas State University Research and Extension.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, toxicgas that results from the incomplete combination ofoxygen and carbon during combustion. The climatolo-gist said some common sources are: Unvented gas orkerosene space heaters; Leaking furnaces or fire-places; Back drafts from gas water heaters, stoves orgenerators; or exhaust from vehicle engines.
“Make certain that any heat source is properlymaintained, operated, and ventilated,” Knapp said.“When the car´s running, keep it away from your build-ing.
“Also, make certain that the chimney is clear andin good shape before lighting that first fire of the sea-son. A bird´s nest blocking the flue can result in morethan just a headache.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) —The future of large-scale eggproduction in Californiamight be in jeopardy afterthe adoption of an initiativebanning the use of crampedcages for hens.
Farmers say it’s unknownhow Proposition 2 will beenforced and fights lieahead in California andelsewhere over how muchroom factory farm animalsshould be provided.
The measure requiresthat hens, pregnant pigs,and calves raised for veal begiven enough room to standup, lie down, turn aroundand fully extend their limbs.
How big those pens andcages must be will decidewhether California farmerscan stay in business as pro-duction costs go up, said JillBenson, vice president ofJ.S. West and Companies, aModesto-based companythat runs three hen barns.
Veal and pork are notmajor industries in Califor-nia so the impact of theproposition will be feltlargely by the state’s eggfarmers, whose production
last year was valued at $337million in a study by theUniversity of CaliforniaAgricultural Issues Centerat UC Davis.
The initiative language isvaguely written and it willbe up to state regulators towrite the new guidelines be-fore Jan. 1, 2015.
“We’ve got a lot to figureout,” Benson said.
Costly investments to ex-pand hen houses and buyadditional land might not befeasible, said Rich Matteis,administrator of the Califor-nia Farm Bureau.
“To retool an aging in-dustry in this economy is re-ally challenging,” Matteissaid. “People don’t have alot of money to make invest-ments.”
Critics say the measurecould drive egg farmers outof California.
“It will be the loss of anentire industry in Califor-nia,” said Donald Bell, apoultry economist at theUniversity of California,Riverside who has watchedthe state’s industry decline
over the last five decades.The measure’s adoption
was a significant win for an-imal-welfare advocates,making California the firstto impose restrictions on so-called battery cages cur-rently used nationwide tohouse egg-laying hens.
“We saw this as puttingdown a marker to be heardnationwide that all animalsincluding those raised forfood deserve humane treat-ment,” said Jennifer Fear-ing, chief economist at TheHuman Society of the Unit-ed States, which led thecampaign.
Whether politicians andvoters in other states willembrace that message is un-clear. Industry representa-tives insist their practicesare the most humane andsafest way to house animals.
“Voters in Californiamay not be quite like votersin Iowa, Pennsylvania andMississippi,” said MitchHead, a spokesman at theUnited Egg Producers. “Ithink we’re only talkingabout one state in 50 here.”
ARLINGTON, Kan.(AP) — His mornings inthe kitchen at Carolyn’s Es-senhaus begin at 4 a.m.
Two and a half hourslater, after a whirlwind of ac-tivity moves him from thebaking area to the oven andthe grill, Eldon Bontrager,76, sits down to his ownhome-cooked breakfast offresh-baked biscuits andsausage gravy.
“It keeps you hoppingpretty good,” he said.
Bontrager, a farmer, andfather of restaurant ownerCarolyn Bontrager, tookover the early morning shiftalmost seven years ago whenhis daughter needed a bakerand cook.
On a Monday, ready tobegin his day, Bontragerslipped his hands into a pairof plastic gloves, heated theoil for frying doughnuts andheaded for the baking area.
Moving from one task tothe next without a break, helined a tray with unbakedscones, filled muffin cupswith raisin bran batter,arranged two dozen biscuitson a baking pan and readied
a sour cream coffeecake.With those in the oven, he
headed to the fryer where hedropped doughnuts andtwists into hot oil.
Talking while he worked,Bontrager filled a plasticmeasuring pitcher with applepie ingredients, emptied themix into an unbaked shelland piled it high with cinna-mon sugar crumb topping.
“We like to give goodmeasure,” he said, placingthe pie on a cookie sheet incase it bubbled over in theoven.
He filled other crusts withcream pie filling and toppedeach with whipped topping.Then he returned to the fry-ers and dipped each dough-nut in a glaze sauce, beforeplacing them on a coolingrack.
Only minutes before the 6a.m. opening, Bontragerarranged the four dozendoughnuts and twists on adining room bar, alongsidetrays of cinnamon rolls,scones and muffins.
Back in the kitchen Bon-trager whipped up a pan ofsausage gravy, lined the
griddle with bacon andheaped on a mound of hashbrowns.
Finally, he checked on thepancake syrup bottles, heldin a warmer.
By 6 a.m. waitress MaryMast, 71, had the diningroom ready, pies cut and inthe cooler, coffee brewed,and the front door unlocked.
Trucker Jerry Miller, themorning’s first customer,stopped for a free cup of cof-fee — sponsored by some-one in the community —and a doughnut for the road.
“Their doughnuts are thebest,” Miller said. “Theysure beat Krispy Kreme.”
That’s largely thanks toBontrager, a naturally earlyriser, who helps Carolynkeep her restaurant’s foodhomemade.
“We think that’s whatpeople want,” he said.

Re: AFBF: Outlookpositive for 2009, butcareful planning neededEditor:
Since the price of wheat inHutchinson fell an incredible $7.30per bushel in just over seven months($12.50 March 13 down to $5.20 Oc-tober 23), I wonder what would ittake to get AFBF to explain to farm-ers how they can make any kind of a
logical plan when they don’t have asingle thing to say about their prices,the most important part of their busi-ness?
But we can be sure of one thing:the foreign buyers of “Wheat grownin the United States is the highestquality wheat in the world market ...”(Aug. 25 HPJ) at way below the costof production prices, are elated withU.S. farmers’ lack of business judg-ment.
September Farm Journal reported
the average cost (no profit) of pro-ducing wheat in 2008 was $7.31 perbushel, which probably is a conserva-tive figure. Why are farm leaders andfarmers afraid to ask for a profitableprice?
As long as farmers let this unbe-lievable scam exist, they will contin-ue to be the laughingstock of the restof the business world.
