By Lucas ShiversThe state of Kansas laid

out its welcome mat andthrew open the front door atthe Kansas Sampler Festivalin Wamego City Park onMay 3 and 4. Billed as Kan-sas’s largest traveling festi-val, the weekend event at-tracted thousands of visitorswith nearly 300 exhibitors toshare the architecture, art,commerce, cuisine, customs,geography, history and peo-ple of Kansas.“The event helps the pub-

lic who are hunting for whatthere is to see and do in thestate,” saidWenDee LaPlant,Kansas Sampler Foundationassistant director. “Everypart of Kansas is representedfrom the Flint Hills to Colbyand Elkhart to Atchison. It'slike a brochure of Kansasbrought to life.”Banners and flags, lining

the walkways to promotecities and regions across thestate, briskly flapped in thespringtime breeze. Musicfrom the central stage pro-vided a backdrop to the con-versations of new friend-ships. Participants sampledflavored milks from local

dairies, fruit spreads fromlocal orchards, meats fromthe livestock industry, spicedpopcorn from local gardens,and countless other agricul-tural by-products from thestate.“The primary purpose of

the festival is to provide asample of what there is tosee, do, hear, taste, buy, andlearn in the state,” LaPlantsaid.For 25 years, the festival

has brought communitiesand attractions from all overthe state together for thepublic to discover hikingtrails, historic sites, naturallandmarks, off-the-beatentrack eateries, architecturalgems, hole-in-the-wall per-forming centers, specialtyshops or have-to-be-thereKansas events."The park was bursting

with everything Kansas,”said LaPlant. “Barns,churches, art, scenic drives,specialty shops and attrac-tions are all promoted here.It's a guarantee that no oneleft without being amazed atall that Kansas has to offer."Hundreds of volunteers

comprised the Wamego

planning team lead by JulieRoller, development associ-ate with the PottawatomieCounty Economic Develop-ment.

Festival HistoryIn 1990, authors Mil and

Marci Penner hosted a booksigning party in a big tent ona cold November day ontheir farm near Inman fortheir first Kansas guidebook,Kansas Weekend Guide. ThePenners invited select loca-tions covered in the book tothe event to inspire travelthroughout Kansas for near-ly a thousand people whocame to the farm.The event was officially

named the Kansas SamplerFestival in 1991, and twoyears later the title became atrademark of the KansasSampler Foundation, withthe goal to preserve and sus-tain rural culture by educat-ing, networking and support-ing rural communities.The festival hit the road

in 1998. After a bid process,hosts have been Pratt (1998-1999); Ottawa (2000-2001);Independence (2002-2003);Newton (2004-2005); Gar-den City (2006-2007); Con-

cordia (2008-2009); Leaven-worth (2010-2011); Liberal(2012-2013); and Wamego(2014-2015).“The reason for rotating

the festival is to give ex-hibitors statewide exposure,to give the public in everypart of the state a chance toexperience the festival and togive each host city a chanceto showcase themselves to astatewide audience,” saidLaPlant.Kay Russell, a volunteer

tent boss for North CentralKansas exhibitors, saidWamego was blessed to beable to display so manystrong community features.“This is so exciting to

have the festival here. I'vevisited it before when it wasin Concordia, but it’s greatfor our community,” Russellsaid. “There is so much in-

formation about Kansas. It isa great way to advertise andlearn more about the state.”

Festival FeaturesMore than 150 Kansas

communities shared culturalheritage demonstrations,recipes and displays; dozensof entrepreneurs sold theirKansas-made products; andparticipants fielded Kansasquestions from a stage called‘The Stump.’Exhibitors set up in vari-

ous tents with themes rang-ing from “Kansas Explorers”to “From the Land ofKansas,” selling a wide vari-ety of goods including but-ter, honey, metal, fine art,pottery, salsa, jellies, quiltedbags, books, leather wares,fudge and handcrafted furni-ture.The 2014 festival intro-

duced new exhibits includ-

ing the Kansas Photogra-phers Tent; Kansas Depart-ment of Wildlife, Parks, andTourism's mobile aquarium;a replica of the ‘Home on theRange’ cabin and a newgame made in Kansas called‘wicketball.’ Another first-time display showed a repli-ca of the New Longren, a bi-plane designed and built in1920 by Alvin Longren, anative Kansan pilot and air-craft executive.“I’ve enjoyed the nice

spring weather and especial-ly the music shows,” saidTeresa Molakness, a firsttime festival-goer from Wa-mego. “I have loved seeingeverything the state has toshow off and share. Thereare lots of families withstrollers and people inwheelchairs to allow every-one access to the event.”

The Wheat Quality Council 2014 Hard Winter WheatTour wrapped up on May 1. Crop scouts estimated produc-tion for the Kansas crop at 260.6 million bushels. This is thelowest tour estimate since 1996. The average yield, calcu-lated from 587 stops, was 33.2 bushels per acre.Twenty vans with crop scouts surveyed and evaluated

the potential of the hard winter wheat crop the week ofApril 28 to May 1, 2014. The participants attended a brieftraining and tour overview session in Manhattan on theevening of April 28.Day one saw the cars traveling on six different routes

from Manhattan to Colby. Despite rain, bitter cold and bel-lowing winds, scouts saw clear, consistent evidence ofdrought stress on the first day of the annual HRW WheatQuality Tour. Scouts in 20 vans made 271 stops on the firstday of the tour from Manhattan to Colby. Overall, thegroups reported an average of 34.7 bushels per acre, well

For many years Grass& Grain has publishedour Cattle Empire edi-tion in May, in whichwe use data from the Na-tional Agriculture Statis-tics Service to give anoverview of the cattlenumbers in Kansas. Thisyear that edition wasscheduled for May 20 anda couple of months ago Istarted watching theNASS website to seewhen the data would bereleased. As the weekswent on and no releasedate was given, I decidedto give them a call. Theytold me that due to the re-cent final report from theCensus of Agriculture,they would not be releas-ing the county cattle esti-

mates in order to spendmore time analyzing thecensus data. They doplan to release the countycattle estimates, but justaren’t sure when. Whenwe receive that data, wewill publish it as the CattleEmpire edition.

We made the decisionto go ahead and publisha special cattle editionnext week, in honor ofBeef Month. The impactof the beef industry onthe Kansas economy can-not be understated. Weranked third in the nationin 2012 for the numberof cattle slaughtered, cat-tle and calves on farmsand cattle and calves ongrain feed. 5.3 billionpounds of red meat pro-duction by commercialslaughter plants alsoranked Kansas third in thenation.

Beyond the numbersare the families aroundthe state who daily pourtheir hearts and souls intoproducing a wholesomeproduct for consumers.Those consumers maynot always understandeverything that goes intoproducing the beef theyso enjoy, but they’vecome to expect a certainlevel of enjoyment fromtheir dining experience,and Kansas cattle produc-ers keep striving to makesure those expectationsare met and exceeded.

It’s easy sometimes toget so caught up in theprocess of beef produc-tion, or any of our en-deavors really, that weforget to take time to cel-

By John Schlageck,Kansas Farm BureauA proposed rule that

would expand the regulato-ry authority of the Environ-mental Protection Agencyand the U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers could bring farm-ing and ranching to a halt.Ordinary field work andeveryday chores like mov-ing cattle across a wet pas-ture, planting crops andeven harvest may one dayrequire a federal permit.

EPA published its newproposal in the FederalRegister March 25. The EPAcontends its new rule clari-fies the scope of the CleanWater Act. In reality it pro-vides more confusion andless clarity for farm and

ranch families and couldclassify most water andsome dry land as waters ofthe United States.

Clean water is importantto all of us, but this issue isnot about water quality – it’sabout federal agencies at-tempting to gain regulatorycontrol over land use byusing the claim of cleanwater.

Throughout this repub-lic’s history, Congress, notfederal agencies, has writ-ten the laws of the land.Two Supreme Court rulingshave affirmed the federalgovernment is limited toregulating navigable wa-ters. EPA’s recent proposalsends conflicting messagesand would extend the

agency’s reach.Farmers and ranchers

are straightforward peoplewho believe words meansomething. Agriculturalproducers believe the au-thors (Congress) of theClean Water Act includedthe term navigable for areason.

Is a small ditch naviga-ble?

Is a stock pond naviga-ble?

Ever see any maritimebarges trying to navigate asouthwestern Kansas gullyduring a toad-strangler?

Because a farmer’s field,a homeowner’s lawn or aplayground collects waterafter a rain does not meanthey should be regulatedunder waters of the UnitedStates. The new regulatoryproposals could do exactlythat.

What about the EPAclaims that agricultural ex-emptions currently provid-ed under the federal CleanWater Act should relievefarmer and ranchers of anyneed to worry about the

proposed rule?Exemptions provided in

the act are mostly limited toplowing and earth-movingactivities. They do not applyto farm and ranch tasks likebuilding a fence across aditch, applying fertilizers orother forms of pest andweed control.

If EPA’s proposed rulebecomes law, many farmingpractices would requiregovernment approvalthrough a complex processof federal permitting.

EPA’s so-called exemp-tions will not protect farm-ers and ranchers from theproposed waters rule. Iffarmlands are regulated aswaters, farming and ranch-ing will be difficult, if notimpossible.

Contact the EPA andCorps before July 21 and letthem know your opinion onthis critical issue. Go towww.kfb.org for additionalinformation.

A couple of weeks ago the rainstarted early one Sunday morningand did not let up until almost noon.It was a rain like we had not had ina long time (I am sorry for mydrought-stricken friends, this maybe a little hard to read). It was agreat rain, it came steady and thedry ground really soaked it up. I be-lieve (and it is only a guess sinceyours truly did not remember to takein his rain gauge last fall), that wereceived about three inches of rain.

Even though the rain came fairlyslowly it still saturated the soil andbecause of that, water started to runoff. Soon there was a nice littlestream running down the hillside bymy house and down the road. Theinner child in me wanted to put myboots on, grab a toy boat and float itdown the very temporary stream.Then I realized that would be a verybad idea.

Why would that be a bad idea? Itwould only prove that my little tem-porary stream was navigable onsome level. The next logical questionwould be, who cares? Well apparent-ly the EPA and the Corps of Engi-neers, in all of their glorious wisdomand endless red tape, care. Under anew rule through the Clean WaterAct, the EPA and the Corps of Engi-neers would like to declare my littleraging river of fifteen minutes part ofthe “Waters of the U.S.”

Why is this problem? This pro-posed new rule would declare almostevery puddle, temporary stream,ditch, diversion or any other waterhole part of the “Waters of the U.S.”– and there is the problem. As part ofthe “Waters of the U.S.” almost everypiece of land we farm or ranch wouldcome under the regulation of theEPA and the Corps. Normal farmingactivities such as fence building,spraying and tillage could need apermit before they could be com-pleted.

I don’t know about you, but I canonly imagine the red tape and thewaiting period that would come withany EPA or Corps of Engineers per-mit (not to mention cost). We allknow how much time we have to

wait around during the spring, whenthe weather is usually nice and wehave plenty of time to get thingsdone. No, we are usually on a tighttime frame in between weather sys-tems and we cannot be delayed.Don’t overlook the fact that if wehave to apply for a permit, it givesthese two governmental agencies theability to control how we farm andranch.

In fairness, the EPA says that itwill not bother us and that this ruleis only meant to cover just a very fewacres. Maybe they are telling thetruth, but is this a chance you wantto take? We live in a time when theincreasing weight of federal govern-mental oversight makes it harderand harder to do our jobs and growthe food that even bureaucrats need.Another side of this issue thatmakes me just as nervous is the factthat the proposed new rule did notcome down from congress. This issomething the EPA and the Corpscreated to take more control awayfrom local and state agencies. Ourelected officials are almost powerlessto change this rule. I don’t think thisis how it is supposed to work.

We do have a chance to voice ouropinions on this proposed new rulebut the time is getting short. Wehave until July 21 to go to the EPAand comment. Please, before you dothis, do some research and makesure you have all the facts; don’ttake my word, read the informationand make up your own mind. Infor-mation is easy to find, and I am sureyou have already heard and readquite a bit about this. Folks, if therewas ever a time to take action, it isnow.

I fear the noose of regulation willkeep getting tighter and tighter, andall of this in a time when we need tobe more productive than we haveever been in agriculture. We knowhow to best care for the land andwater we depend on and we need tobe able to make those decisions onour own farms and in a timely man-ner. Let’s all let the EPA and Corpsknow that their boat just won’t floatand to ditch the rule.

EPA rule couldshut down agriculture

It may be a busy time of year, but Ameri-ca’s farmers and ranchers need to add onemore thing to their to-do lists: go see Farm-land, which opened in select theaters na-tionwide yesterday.

The film features six young farmers whocome together to tell just a few of the manystories of American agriculture. Accordingto Drovers-CattleNetwork, film directorJames Moll hopes urban audiences can

learn just as much from Farmland as he didwhile making it.

“I grew up in a city, and I never steppedfoot on a farm. Now I have had that oppor-tunity. I wondered who it was growing ourfood, and I now know,” he said. “If otherpeople can come away from this film feelingthey have now stepped onto a farm, then Ifeel really good about it.” Find a list of the-aters at www.farmlandfilm.com.

ebrate our successes. Orsometimes the challengeswe face cloud our visionand cause us to overlookall the good things hap-pening in the industry.But May’s Beef Monthbeckons us away from thechallenges and day-to-day

stresses, practically com-manding us to celebrate.To celebrate calves kick-ing up their heels in thepasture, mama cows tak-ing turns watching over allthe babies, historic pricesand the freedom to workin an industry we love.

There’s plenty to cele-brate and I can’t think ofany better way to do itthan by grilling a nice,juicy steak. I hope you’lljoin me in celebratingthe beef industry in thegreat state of Kansas andaround the nation.

Winner Regina Wofford, Circleville: “I was lookingfor a way to use rhubarb without a lot of sugar. This isvery good. We have used it on fish tacos, eaten it on topof salad and as a dip. If you want a little more sweet-ness, chop up an apple and add it.”

RHUBARB SALSA2 cups finely diced fresh rhubarb½ cup sweet red pepper, chopped½ cup sweet yellow pepper, chopped½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped3 green onions, tops only, chopped1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped2 tablespoons fresh lime juice2 tablespoons brown sugar, or to tasteSalt & ground black pepper to taste

Blanch rhubarb in a saucepan of boiling water for10 seconds (seriously; ten seconds. No more). Removerhubarb promptly from heat, dump into a strainer, andrinse under cold water until rhubarb is lukewarm orcool. This is to stop the blanching process. Placerhubarb in a glass bowl. Add remaining ingredients,and mix well. Refrigerate at least an hour before serv-ing to allow flavors to develop.

MANHATTAN – ’Tisthe season – for creepy,crawly things that seeming-ly come from nowhere. Andone to watch for is thebrown recluse spider.“A number of things are

not well known or havebeen misunderstood aboutthe brown recluse spider,”said Holly Davis, researchassociate and Ph.D. candi-date in Kansas State Univer-sity’s Department of Ento-mology. She, along with as-sociate professor of ento-mology, Jeff Whitworth, re-cently completed researchin an effort to better under-stand and manage the brownrecluse.The team shared 10 facts

about the much-publicizedspider.1. Brown recluse spiders

are mostly only active fromMarch through October, sotrying to control them fromOctober through March isgenerally not necessary oruseful.2. They are found out-

doors in Kansas and otherMidwestern states, as wellas within structures. Theytend to thrive in the sameenvironments that humansdo. They enter structures ei-ther by crawling in from theoutside or are brought in onfurniture and boxes fromother infested structures.3. They readily feed on

prey that is dead, so are at-tracted to recently killed in-sects. However, they canand will also attack liveprey.4. Brown recluses build

small, irregular webs in out-of-the-way places but do notuse these to capture prey.They tend to hide in the darkand move around at nightsearching for prey.5. A brown recluse is tiny

when it first emerges fromthe egg case and takes sev-eral molts to reach adult-hood, 6-12 months. Re-member, they are only ac-tive from March to Octoberso this may take one to twoyears. Then they may live 2-3 years as adults. Femalescan produce 2-5 egg casesduring this time (two orthree is most common) andeach may contain 20-50 spi-derlings.6. Brown recluse spiders

are venomous but bites donot always result in large,necrotic lesions where sur-rounding tissue dies. Often,the bite goes unnoticed andonly results in a pimple-likeswelling. However, somepeople develop a necroticwound (with blood and pus)

which is slow to heal, withthe potential for a secondaryinfection. If you knowyou’ve been bitten, catchthe spider if safely possible,and show it to medical per-sonnel for clear identifica-tion.7. Sticky traps for spiders

and other insects, availableat most hardware and gar-den stores, work well to trapbrown recluse spiders. Theymay not significantly reducethe numbers, but definitelyhelp, and are a great way todetect and monitor the spi-der populations.8. Insecticides labeled to

control brown recluse spi-ders kill the spiders, butmust be sprayed directly onthem, or the spider needs tocome into direct contactwith the treated area while itis still damp. Otherwise, lit-tle control is achieved.9. Brown recluse spiders

are better controlled with in-secticides on non-carpetedsurfaces.

10. Preventative meas-ures like sealing cracks infoundations and walls,clearing clutter in andaround the home, movingwoodpiles away from thehouse, placing sticky trapsin low traffic areas andspraying pesticides can helpeliminate brown recluse

populations within thehome.More information and

photos of brown recluse spi-ders are available in a K-State Research and Exten-sion publication online at:http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/bookstore/Item.aspx?catId=526&pubId=17481.

into pieces and put it andthe onion and garlic intothe blender, along withthe remaining broth.Cover the blender andblend on high until per-fectly smooth.

If you’re using a Vita-Mix, you can blend it onhigh for a few more min-utes until piping hot (re-move the center cup andcover with a kitchen towelto allow steam to escape).Otherwise, pour the soupinto a saucepan and heatuntil hot, stirring fre-quently. Add salt, if need-ed, to taste.

Pour into bowls andsprinkle with grated lem-on or orange peel. Garnisheach bowl with the re-served asparagus spearsand serve hot. 4 servings.

’Tis the Season: Be on the Lookout for Brown Recluse Spiders

below last year’s averageand the five-year average,both at 43.8 bushels peracre. This also is the lowestDay 1 average since 2001,when scouts reported an av-erage of 32.6 bushels peracre. Overall, Tuesday’s re-ports indicated the wheatcrop in the northern half ofthe state is behind normalcrop progress, short and inneed of moisture soon.

“Moisture in the next 30days is critical and impor-tant to more than just thewheat crop, extending into

planting decisions for therest of the spring,” said RichRandall, Kansas Wheatcommissioner who farms inScott City.

On day two, the carstraveled from Colby to Wi-chita. Several cars went intothe far western Kansascounties and three cars actu-ally covered the northerntier of Oklahoma counties.Scouts on the second day ofthe 2014 HRWWheat Qual-ity Tour reported the lowestyields in at least the last 14years as they traveled southand east from Colby to Wi-chita. Along the six routes,

scouts made a total of 271stops on Wednesday. Theyestimated the average yieldat 30.8 bushels per acre,substantially below lastyear’s average of 37.1bushels per acre on day two.Lack of moisture continuesto dominate concerns.Scouts reported extremelydry conditions, which hasresulted in shorter than nor-mal wheat and thin stands.Scattered fields had headedout, with participants seeingfewer spikelets and smallerheads than expected.Drought conditions contin-ue to persist for the fourth

year in a row in someplaces.

Kansas Wheat Commis-sioner and Clearwater-areafarmer Scott Van Allen,wasn’t surprised at the lowyields being reported. Hecommented the crop stillhad great potential as re-cently as three weeks ago,but as the temperatures havewarmed and moisture sup-plies continue to dissipate,he has grown less opti-mistic. Van Allen stated, “Ifmoisture arrives in the nearfuture, maximum yields in

our area will probably be inthe 35-40 bushel range.That’s a far cry from yieldswe were hoping for as thecrop first broke dormancythis spring.”

Day three concluded thetrip with cars traveling fromWichita to Kansas City. Thefinal estimates for averageyield as well as total Kansaswheat production were re-leased after the group’s finalmeeting in Kansas.

The calculated averagefrom the entire tour was33.2 bushels per acre. Last

year, the tour estimatedKansas wheat productionwould average 41.1 bushelsper acre, close to the finalUSDA National Agricultur-al Statistics Service’s finalyield for Kansas of 38bushels per acre. The scoutsuse a formula provided byKansas Agricultural Statis-tics Service to arrive at theircalculated average. The for-mula is based on a ten-yearrolling average and changesslightly from year to year.

All the yield estimatesfrom the tour assume decent

K-State to host May 27 wheat tour inTribune, spring field day in Garden City

In 1856 settlers werestreaming into a part ofTexas known as Coman-cheria, the undisputed do-main of the Comanchetribes for one hundredyears. Comancheria reach-ed all the way north to theArkansas River in Kansas.Comanche warriors foughtthe intrusion aggressively,keeping settlers constantlywatching for the next raid.Exasperated the militarysent the Second U.S. Caval-ry north of the Red River,

deep into Comancheria in1858. The idea was to es-tablish a forward operat-ing base on the edge of theWichita Mountains (south-ern Oklahoma). From therethe military force plannedto seek out and engage theComanche in their isolatedcamps beyond the Texasborder. Known as the Wi-chita Expedition the oper-ation was under the com-mand of Captain Earl VanDorn.

Four companies of the

Second Cavalry crossedthe Red River approxi-mately seventy miles northof Fort Belknap. Anotherfifty miles to the northbrought them to the banksof Otter Creek. CaptainVan Dorn selected a defen-sive site and immediatelyset his soldiers to workconstructing a picket en-closure for the protectionof mules, horses, and sup-plies. The encampmentwas named Camp Radz-iminsky, after a popular of-ficer that had recentlydied.

Indian scouts soon re-turned with news of aComanche camp near avillage of friendly WichitaIndians. Van Dorn had hismen in the saddle within

the hour. Two days laterunder a blanket of fogfour hundred troopersand Indian scouts attackedthe sleeping village atdawn. The Comanchefought valiantly in the con-fusion of the morning, butsuperior fire power wonthe day.

But the victory was notwithout loss. Four soldierswere killed and eleven, in-cluding Van Dorn, werewounded. Van Dorn wasseverely wounded with anarrow in his stomach andanother through his wrist.Fifty-six Comanche menand women were killed.Another twenty-five peo-ple were hunted down andkilled as they fled thecamp.

No one expected Cap-tain Van Dorn to live. Asurgeon cut the arrowpoint from the shaft andpulled the remainder fromhis body. Five days afterthe fight Van Dorn wastaken back to Camp Radz-iminsky where he amazedeveryone with a full recov-ery.

During the winter of1858-1859 Van Dorn’sscouts scoured the territo-ry for any sign of Co-manche or Kiowa activity.In the spring Van Dornpressed deeper into Co-mancheria, marching histroops in cold wet weatherday after day. They crossedthe desolate CimarronRiver on May 10, 1859, near

an unseen border that hadbeen designated the south-ern boundary of KansasTerritory five years before.Camp was made in thepouring rain on the northbank of the river in thevicinity of present-day En-glewood, Kansas. But theywere not alone.

A scouting party of fiveComanche warriors wereseen by Van Dorn’s scoutsbefore they turned theirhorses for “the brokencountry to the west andnorth.” The following daythe troops followed tracesof old Indian trails until ascouting party led by Lieu-tenant William R. Royalldiscovered the village ofthe Comanche in a hairpin

The Second Cavalryin Comancheria

A fund has been estab-lished within the KansasAgriculture and RuralLeadership (KARL) Foun-dation in memory of Glenn

Mull, his wife, daughter,and granddaughter. Thefund is in recognition ofGlenn's lifelong agricultur-al leadership in Kansas. Inrecognition of the initiatinggift, Graduate Program Di-rector Jack W. Lindquistacknowledged that, "Therole model leadershipGlenn Mull expressed wasunselfishly for the benefitof the industry and state asa whole. The KARL Pro-gram is honored to help re-member Glenn Mull's lead-ership through this gener-ous expression that willbenefit emerging agricul-tural leaders for genera-tions to come." Mull diedin a plane crash February3, 2014 in Bellevue, Tenn.at age 62, along with hiswife, daughter, and grand-

daughter. The Mull memo-rial fund was initiated byGlenn's friend and fraterni-ty brother, Rich Porter.Another fraternity brotherand friend of Glenn’s, LeeMusil, is a member of theKARL, Inc. board of direc-tors and a friend ofPorter’s, further develop-ing Rich’s admiration ofthe KARL Program.

Recognition for contrib-utors to the Glenn Mull &

Family memorial fund willtake place at the Old WestFest KARL Benefit inDodge City August 15,2014 and subsequent yearsthe event is held thereafter.The fund is to be left openand can be added to byfriends of Glenn Mull andfamily.

bend of Crooked Creekabout ten miles north ofpresent-day Fowler.

The warriors immedi-ately fled the village,drawing the soldiers awayfrom their families. Acourier was dispatched toVan Dorn. The soldiersquickly saddled up anddashed at a gallop over therain-soaked hills.

By the time Van Dornand his men arrived thewarriors had slipped overa narrow embankment intothe bed of Crooked Creek,concealing themselves be-hind fallen trees. Scrubtrees provided an addi-tional overgrowth ofbranches that veiled thewarriors almost complete-ly. Captain Kirby Smithand his troops chargedheadlong into the thicket,unaware that the enemycould be seen only whenjust a few feet away. With-in seconds Smith receiveda serious wound in theleg. Realizing the dangerVan Dorn ordered hisbugler to call the menback from the precariousravine.

After a quick assess-ment of the situation Van

Dorn sent dismountedtroops into the ravine.Each step into the creekwas treacherous. At a dis-tance of only ten yards awarrior caught LieutenantFitzhhugh Lee by surprise.An arrow smashed intoLee’s chest, causing him tostagger backward as hefell against a tree. Thearrow passed through hisbody, penetrated his rightlung, and came out nearhis right shoulder blade.The arrow was unceremo-niously pulled from Lee’schest by another officer.Smith and Lee miraculous-ly survived and the battlewas won.

In a few years the landof Comancheria was noth-ing more than a memory ofanother time that once hadbeen on The Way West.

Garcia. “This sign-up period is only for thoseproducers who sufferedcrop losses for 2012 cropsbefore Sept. 30, 2011.” Tobe eligible for SURE, afarm or ranch must have:

Youth livestock safetyvideo now available for free

Ashlee Corns, Eureka, showed the reserve breedingheifer at the Flint Hills Classic Spring Livestock Showheld April 27 at the Greenwood County Fairgrounds.Judging the entries was Ben Williams, head livestockjudge at Hutchinson Community College.

Bronc to Breakfast is myfavorite Charlie Russellpainting. The scene repre-sents the typical roundupout west. In the foregroundis a campfire with cookingpots and pans on the fire orhanging from the crossbar.A cowboy is sitting with hisplate of beans, Cookie’s inan apron standing by thechuck wagon and in thebackground are some cow-boys by the horses on a pick-et line.

The focal point is a bal-faced horse in an arcing tra-jectory, hind feet in the fire,front legs off the ground andreachin’, doin’ a nose dive,with his mouth open squal-lin’! Astride this beast is acowboy. He’s lost one stir-rup, his hat and his grip.Chaps and shirttail flappin’,he’s comin’ off the left side,lookin’ down as if there wasa way out.

In his wake the campfirecooking area is an explosion

of smoke, fire and kitchenutensils. The cowboy withthe plate of beans is flyingbackwards like he has beenshot! In the background,every horse and every cow-boy, cook and all, are watch-ing this buckin’ horse torna-do tear through camp.

Horse people are famil-iar with the term, “feelin’frisky.” The condition iscommon, but not limited tomornings after the horsehas been fed, the weatherhas turned coolish, and thecowboy is absentmindedlysaddlin’ his horse and jump-in’ on like it was any otherday.

Last fall I had my ownversion of a Bronc to Break-fast. In my painting, it mightshow my horse buckin’ un-der a mesquite tree. Itwould be hard to see therider because of the limbs.Or me lookin’ like CharlieRussell’s cowboy burstingout of the tree, eight feet off

the ground with branches inmy mouth! Or the final ejec-tion, me resembling anOlympic diver in some kindof horizontal half-gainerwith a rein still in one handtight enough to hang clotheson.

Now, in the cowboyworld, if you survive one ofthese bucking horse dis-plays, you can earn a little“cowboy cred.” That’s re-gardless of if you get buckedoff or not. Matter of fact, get-ting bucked off is a betterstory. My friend Jim’s storywould put him in that ele-vated status.

He needed to gather asmall pen of Corrientesteers and ship them. Hesaddled his horse. His wifetold him he didn’t need ahorse, they could use thefour-wheeler. They were ina hurry. Well, the four-wheeler spooked the steers,so he went back, got hishorse, jumped on andtouched him lightly with aspur.

In the time it took for himto think, ‘Did I pull the cinchtight?’ he was sitting on thepommel, then back on skirts,then leaning to port like ayacht sailor, then straddlingthe horse’s neck, as the nor-mally gentle, dead-broke, 10-year-old gelding fired himover the fence and into themachine shed.

Jim was no match for thethree-point hitch on histractor. He spent severaldays in the hospital withCAT scans, radiographs,catheters, IV stands and lis-tening to the music of thewhistling, binging, ringing,ticking and buzzing music ofthe monitoring devices.

He was strong and braveand soon healed up. But hehas never gotten over thehumiliation that he feltevery time one of his cow-boy friends came to visit.When they looked at therecords posted on the end ofhis bed, they all saw his di-agnosis, FELL OFF OF HISHORSE.

ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSE

Bronc to Breakfast

The Kansas Wheat Inno-vation Center continues toexpand as Wheat GeneticsResource Center scientistsget settled into their new labspace at the center. A littleover a year after the centerwas built, additional con-struction allowed wheat re-search capabilities to grow.Jon Raupp, senior scien-

tist for the WGRC whomade the move to the inno-vation center long beforethe lab space was finished,said he is excited to beworking in the updatedspace.“I remember when we

were storing seed on abench,” Raupp said. “Nowto have this facility is amaz-

ing.”Originally located in

Throckmorton Hall atKansas State University, theWGRC outgrew their labspace and gene bank storageand the Kansas WheatCommission was able tohelp.Through a National Sci-

ence Foundation grant, theWGRC has been able to be-come the first plant scienceNational Science Founda-tion Industry/UniversityCooperative Research Cen-ter. This required extendedspace than what was offeredin Throckmorton Hall, andKansas Wheat began build-ing again.Bikram Gill, the center’s

director, said the KansasWheat Commission has al-ways been an organiztionthat the WGRC could de-pend on. They have always“had our back,” he said.“The Kansas Wheat

Commission has been theanchor through all the upsand downs, and I think theirrole, and the role of theKansas farmer, is huge,”Gill said. “The biggest se-cret to our success has beenhaving good rapport withKansas wheat farmers. Idon’t think we could havesucceeded without them.”The Kansas Wheat Com-

mission and Kansas wheatfarmers have been support-ers of the WGRC since the

beginning. An original$10,000 research grant in1982 allowed the center togrow to be recognized bythe Kansas Board of Re-gents as a National Centerof Excellence by 1984. Thecenter continued to grow;now more than two dozenscientists are working toturn wild wheat geneticsinto usable wheat geneticsfor crop varieties.Gill said these recent

improvements have madehim very optimistic aboutthe future of the center.“The greatest strength of

our center is that we haveunderstanding from farm-ers, the wheat commission,university and industry so

we are all working togeth-er,” Gill said. “As a resultwe can access resources sowe can make projects thatwill create progress.”Founded in 1982, the

WGRC collects, conservesand utilizes wild wheatgermplasm for crop im-provement and sustainableproduction. With a genebank that houses more than2,500 wheat species acces-sions, it is a lifetime of workfor scientists hoping to im-prove wheat varieties andthe wheat industry.The WGRC is a unique

gene bank and center be-cause the research beingconducted on the wildwheat genetics directly ben-

efits Kansas farmersthrough new wheat vari-eties. The wild wheatgermplasm contains traitsthat are targeted through re-search for use of traits suchas drought resistance, insectand disease resistance, pro-tein content and more.The partnership between

the WGRC and KansasWheat has led to the cre-ation of the Kansas WheatInnovation Center, Heart-land Plant Innovations andEarth’s Harvest. Together,the groups are working toprotect and expand the im-pact of genetic resources toaddress issues such as foodsecurity, genetic diversity,and crop improvement.

Wheat Genetic Resource Center and Kansas Wheat partnership prospers

Hay trade slow to non existent and movement slow tomodera8te. Demand moderate to good for dairy, grindingand stock cow alfalfa, light to moderate f8or grass hay andalfalfa pellets. Record high temperatures, some placesover 100 degrees and wind with no rain just add to thedrought across Kansas. Pastures are short, wheat and alfal-fa crops are suffering, irrigators are struggling to keep up.Some have turned cattle on drought stressed wheat orBrome to salvage a little. Swathers are starting on the newcrop alfalfa, so far quality is excellent, and yields are light.A lot of the dryland acres may not get tall enough to swath.The market is slow developing and will likely develop ashay is baled. More cutting will start the second week of Mayin the Southern half of the State.

After all the stress ofplanning, printing and or-ganizing for the KansasSampler Festival where Iwas invited to display (andhopefully sell) my photog-raphy, after the tensionthat occasionally reducedme to an irritable anddour sourpuss altogetherunfit for social interac-tions, and, yes, after all theunwarranted and uselessworrying — worry beingmy forte, the one thing Ihave consistently excelledat throughout my life —there fell on the eve of ourdeparture to Wamego amoment of stillness sopure and simple that it leftme unbalanced, teeteringas if carried forward bymomentum.

Which, in a way, wastrue. I’d been going so fastfor so long that I’d forgot-ten how to slow down or tosee beyond the immediatedemands of preparing forsomething so outside of myexperience that I welteredin a perpetual fog of be-fuddlement, and here wasa sudden and unforeseenpause where I realizedthere was nothing left todo, that everything was inplace and, for better orworse, would be decidedon the morrow. That my sixmonths of preparation wasfinished, or something likeit. The worries I’d carriedand cultivated and care-fully nursed vanishedwithout a trace, replacedby a feeling of unfettered

freedom. I felt buoyant as Ipacked the car with a fewessentials, poured a cup ofcoffee and retired to theporch to watch the lower-ing sun slip behind thethicket.

A sense of calm settledover me as I studied theyard, the budding leaves,the red-tipped redbudsand the rounded knollsoverlooking the river val-ley. The lawn neededmowed, that much was cer-tain, and though it wouldbe several days before Icould arrange the time, Iwas already looking for-ward to the simple pleas-ures of knocking down thegrass. I’d have to pick upwind-downed sticks andbranches first, and fill thegas tank, but those wereancillary items inherentin every project no matterits scope. As any painteror farmer will attest, prepwork is where the realhours are expended, andthe most important. Do itwrong or take half-meas-ures and see what hap-pens, or doesn’t.

I wondered how longthis odd and uncharacter-istic tranquility wouldlinger. As I sat there inwhat could only be de-scribed as a beatific bliss,I watched the season’sfirst chimney swifts dartoverhead, chittering intheir thin, reedy voices asthey wove the air in syn-chronized formations. Ihadn’t noticed their re-

turn and felt somewhatdismayed, as if my inatten-tion were a moral lapse. Arabbit cautiously nosedout of the brush pile, everyfiber of its being alert todanger, which unfortu-nately translated to myselfso that when I offered ajaunty hello it bolted backinto its burrow. No matter;the rabbit’s response wasbeyond my control, and atthat moment I was contentas rarely before knowingthat everything from hereon would transpire with-out my influence. In someways it was like releasingyour cares to a higherpower, not as a relinquish-ment or a transferral of re-sponsibility, but an act ofliberation.

The world is not ours to

order. At some point it be-hooves us to let go, to trustin something bigger thanourselves, and realize thatour influences are trivialat best. We do what we canwithin our power and thenwe can only sit back andsee what happens.

What happened wasthis: We drove down early,found a parking spot, setup our displays and wait-ed placidly for the flood-gates to open, the preter-natural calm groundingme to a state of unnaturalease that remainedthroughout the long andwearying hours, throughthe thousands upon thou-sands of visitors thatebbed and flowed throughour tent, through the longdrive home and the returnthe next day in a patternthat was as ageless as timeitself, the earth rotatingaround the sun, the moon’sendless cycles, the migra-tions of terns from thesouthern hemisphere tothe Arctic Circle, the sim-ple act of inhalation pre-ceding exhalation like thesteady cadence of ametronome, intuitive, un-forced, affirmative, aseasy as breathing in andbreathing out, and ashard.

DAVID & AUDREY JO HEARN

(AP) – High school agri-culture programs sprout-ing across the nation’sCorn Belt are teachingteenagers, many of them inurban environments, thatcareers in the field oftenhave nothing to do withcows and plows.

The curriculums, takinghold as school budgetstighten and the numbersof farms in the U.S. de-cline, are rich in scienceand touted as steppingstones for college-boundstudents considering ca-reers in everything fromurban forestry to renew-able natural resourcesand genetic engineering ofcrops, perhaps foragribusiness giants suchas Monsanto, Dow, DuPontand Pioneer.

Ag-minded students arein luck: Tens of thousandsof jobs open up each yearin the broader agriculturefield, and roughly half are

filled by college gradswith actual ag-related de-grees, observers say.

“There’s a shortage ofworkers in a number of ca-reers, and the numbers ofthose jobs are staggering,’’said Harley Hepner, theIllinois State Board of Ed-ucation’s chief consultantfor ag education. “Schoolsthat understand we canget students in the ag pro-gram know they’re going tobe taxpaying citizens withgood-paying jobs.’’

Along with school pro-grams, membership in Fu-ture Farmers of Americais up to about 580,000 –nearly double its ranks ofthe mid-1980s. That spikedispels the notion the na-tional organization ismerely a haven for farmkids, given that the num-ber of U.S. farms are on along-term downwardtrend, shrinking another 4percent between 2007 and

2012, according to the lat-est federal figures avail-able.

Untold numbers of FFAmembers have scant to dowith farms, as RebeccaGoodman illustrates.

In Indiana, where cornis king, the 18-year-old jun-ior is her school’s activeFFA president but couldnever be confused for acountry girl. Goodman,who’s lived in Indianapo-lis since she was three,had never been on a farm,and her experience withanimals is limited to catsand dogs.

“The only thing I plant-ed was a small garden, andthe only thing that grewout of it were weeds,’’ sheadmits.

Yet Goodman aspires tobe a conservation officer,crediting tiny Beech Groveschools’ fledgling agricul-tural sciences programwith steering her that way.

Beech Grove’s AppliedLife Sciences Academy,unveiled in November2012, is billed as a place ofhands-on, frequently tech-nical exploration of live

plants and animals. Edu-cators say it makes a con-nection, helping studentswho otherwise may grap-ple with comprehendingconcepts and theories in atraditional math or sci-ence class.

“We live on the mottothat 99 percent of the pop-ulation doesn’t have any-thing to do with (farm) pro-duction,’’ said Chris Kauf-man, a former state educa-tion department ag spe-cialist who helped set upBeech Grove’s program.

Classes include animalscience, plant and soil sci-ence, separate offerings ofadvanced animal andplant science, natural re-sources, and an introduc-tory course. Some of thecourses earn the studentshigh school science cred-its.

Such offerings increas-ingly have cropped up inmany states in recentyears in the nation’sbreadbasket. SevenKansas high schools andfour in Nebraska joinedthe fold in the past schoolyear. Over the past three

years, Missouri has addedseven to bring itsstatewide total to 331 – up82 from two decades ago –and Illinois added ten.

Beech Grove’s program,among 13 the state hasadded since 2010, has twomiddle school and twohigh school teachers fornearly 500 students, anumber that helps the pro-gram pay for itself thanksto a state fund that givesdistricts a per-studentstipend depending on theclass. Those payouts rangefrom $375 to $450 per stu-dent, accounting for whatKaufman says has fun-neled $180,000 into BeechGrove’s coffers.

“Beech Grove neededmore electives and teach-ers, and this was a perfectfit that didn’t cost much,’’he said. “This is about un-derstanding the environ-ment and the worldaround you as it relates toanimals, plants and food,then going out with thoseskills to get a good career.’’

It’s appeared to connectwith Goodman, who re-

members “kind of having ahard time with what Iwanted to do with my lifeand was going by the book– be a nurse or something.It kind of made me boxedin, made me feel de-pressed.’’

“Before this (program)came, I was in a darkplace,’’ she said. “It’shelped me find my wayback.’’

Classmate Alicia Perez,17, once dismissed learn-ing about agriculture, con-vinced “This is gonna befor people who wanna befarmers.’’ Not so, she nowsubmits.

“It’s an amazing pro-gram, really life-chang-ing,’’ the 17-year-old juniorsaid of learning aboutplants and food, whichfeed her dreams of becom-ing a chef. “My heart is inculinary arts, and thereare so many different ca-reers you can pursue inagriculture.

“This is definitelysomething you have to gointo to realize it’s so muchbroader.’’


High school ag programs flourish as farms dwindle

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Nat-ural Resources Conservation Service in Kansas isnow accepting applications for its new AgriculturalConservation Easements Program (ACEP). The ACEPcombines NRCS’ former Farm and Ranch Lands Pro-tection, Grassland Reserve, and Wetlands Reserveprograms.

“This is an exciting new opportunity for even morepeople to get involved in conserving natural re-sources,” said Kansas State conservationist Eric B.Banks. “We encourage Indian tribes, non-governmen-tal organizations, and private landowners to apply.”Applications must be submitted by June 6, 2014.ACEP has two components, one for wetland reserveeasements (ACEP-WRE) and one for agriculturalland easements (ACEP-ALE).

Wetland reserve easements would restore and en-hance wetlands and improve habitat. Eligible landsinclude farmed or converted wetlands that can besuccessfully and cost-effectively restored. If you areinterested in a wetland reserve easement, contactyour local NRCS office.

Under the agricultural land component, funds areprovided to eligible entities that can use ACEP fund-ing to purchase agricultural land easements that pro-tect the agricultural use of eligible land. Interestedland-owners should work with an eligible entity tosubmit an application. Learn more about ACEP andother Farm Bill programs at www.nrcs.usda.gov/farmbill

Please contact your local NRCS office or conser-vation district office located at your local countyUSDA Service Center (listed in the telephone bookunder United States Government or on the internetat offices. usda.gov) for assistance. More informationis also available on the Kansas Web site at www.ks.nrcs.usda.gov. Follow us on Twitter@NRCS_Kansas.

By Keith MartinLivestock Agent

Wildcat Extension DistrictWe are nearing the end

of the time period to con-trol musk thistles effective-ly. Musk thistle is primarilya biennial or winter annualspecies. As a biennial, seedwill germinate in thespring and plants remainas rosettes during the en-tire growing season. Uponsurviving a winter, plantswill bolt, flower, and pro-duce seeds, taking parts oftwo growing seasons tocomplete their life cycle.

Musk thistle reproducesonly by seed. Thus, the goalof any control program is toreduce and/or eliminateseed production. Controloptions include mechani-cal, biological, cultural,and chemical methods.

Mowing at the bloomstage will prevent seedproduction, but it usuallytakes two or three mowingsat two to four week inter-vals to ensure that muskthistles do not produceseed. Another method tokeep musk thistles fromproducing seed is to cut in-dividual plants two to fourinches below the soil lateenough in the growing sea-son that they don’t havetime to produce viableseed. The musk thistlehead and rosette weevilscan also help reduce seedproduction.

Cultural control prac-tices are any methodswhich improve grass vigorand grass cover and wouldinclude prescribed burn-ing and good grazing man-agement. Burning by itselfwill not kill musk thistlebut can remove excessiveamounts of litter than pre-vent good coverage whenspraying. Areas with musk

thistle should be sprayedabout ten to 14 days afterburning. Proper burningstimulates warm-seasongrasses that compete morefavorably against muskthistle. Proper grazing thatmaintains and/or improvesthe vigor of competing veg-etation can also help keepmusk thistle populationsdown.

Musk thistle plants aremost easily controlled byherbicides applied duringthe seedling and rosettestages of growth. Commonherbicides such as 2,4-D,dicamba, and picloram arevery effective on rosettes.Products containing met-

sulfuron, chlorsulfuron,and aminopyralid are alsoeffective on musk thistle.

Once plants begin tobolt, products such as pi-cloram + 2,4-D (Tordon 22K+ 2,4-D), metsulfuron + 2,4-D (Escort XP + 2,4-D), met-sufuron + chlorsulfuron(Cimarron Plus), metsul-furon + dicamba + 2,4-D(Cimarron Max), or amino-pyralid alone (Milestone)or in combination with 2,4-D (ForeFront R&P) aremore effective.

Products containingclopyralid (Curtail andStinger) provide excellentcontrol of bolted to budstage thistles. Treat musk

thistle before it starts tobloom.

Always read the labelwith particular attention toprecautionary statements,grazing/haying restrictions,and rates of application.

Most Kansans may notrealize the significance ofa congressional act signed100 years ago.

In 1914, U.S. Sen. HokeSmith of Georgia and U.S.Rep. A. F. Lever of SouthCarolina authored theSmith-Lever Act to expandthe “vocational, agricul-tural and home demon-stration programs in ruralAmerica.” The act assureddelivery of research-basedknowledge of the land-grant universities to peo-ple where they live andwork.

This mission enablesKansas State Universitythrough its K-State Re-search and Extension pro-gram to enrich the lives of

Kansans. Extension focus-es its work on finding solu-tions for topics importantto Kansans, using itsstatewide network to shareinformation.

Nationally, celebra-tions for the 100th anniver-sary of the Cooperative Ex-tension System took placeMay 8, 2014.

“As a system, K-StateResearch and Extensionworks with Kansas farmersand ranchers to improvepractices, establishingKansas as the breadbasketof the world,” said JohnFloros, director of K-StateResearch and Extensionand dean of the College ofAgriculture. “Our familiesprograms help people lead

productive lives, while 4-Hprograms lead youth intoadulthood.”

“Our citizens have toldus there are five grandchallenges facing Kansas.We built our strategic planaround finding solutionsto these challenges,”Floros said.

Grand ChallengesFacing Kansas

Kansas Extension pro-grams and efforts are fo-cused on these five areas,said Floros.

* Global Food Systems:With a goal of feeding theworld’s growing popula-tion, work focuses on im-proved food and agricul-tural systems.

* Water: With an eye on

the future, efforts look atdecreasing water needs orcosts for livestock, cropproduction and municipalwater systems.

* Health: Quality of life,healthy development andbehaviors for all lifestages to reduce healthproblems and associatedcosts are the focus of pro-grams.

* Developing Tomor-row’s Leaders: Kansaslooks to emerging leadersto lead the state forward.4-H youth are learningleadership skills. Other ef-forts assist Kansas’s com-munity leaders with eco-nomic development issues.

* Community Vitality:Kansas’s rural, suburban

and urban communitiesface many challenges. Avariety of Extension pro-grams work to enrichKansas communities.

Volunteers Criticalto Program

“We aren’t going tosolve these challengesalone,” said Daryl Buch-holz, associate director forExtension and applied re-search. We work with agen-cies, organizations, busi-ness, industry, thousandsof volunteers, and Kan-sas’s citizens. Throughthese efforts, we developand share research-basedknowledge for lifelongpursuits.”

Locally elected boardsand program development

committees work withlocal Extension agents andspecialists to determineprograms to address criti-cal needs of their commu-nity. Serving on these com-mittees provides local citi-zens with an opportunityto help their communities.

“This is a hallmark ofKansas Extension pro-grams,” said Chuck Otte,Geary County Extensionagent. “Our local citizenswork with agents to devel-op local Extension pro-grams with plannedevents, activities andstrategies. All are focusedon a common outcome fortheir communities. And itis backed by science-basededucation.”

Letter to the EditorWhy is the U.S. govern-

ment spending $9 millionwhen animal agriculturehas similar technology al-ready available or in thepipeline? If you’re likeme, you have attendedmore meetings than youcare to count where gov-ernment officials urge pri-vate companies in animalagriculture to step up tothe plate and fund new re-search and technology.Thus, my jaw literallydropped to the floor when,on May 2, I read an article,“DHS expands animal dis-ease surveillance proj-ect,” stating that the De-partment of Homeland Se-curity was underwritingan animal disease surveil-

lance project with The Na-tional Center for ForeignAnimal and Zoonotic Dis-ease Defense. Accordingto the article, DHS’ En-hanced Passive Surveil-lance (EPS) system projecthas “the potential for anearly $9 million invest-ment over the next threeyears.” While I applaudthe idea behind DHS’ EPSsystem, which is designedto help individuals work-ing with animals to easilyreport potential diseaseoutbreaks and changes inanimal health, I am baf-fled why DHS didn’t firstinvestigate if a privatecompany within animalagriculture wasn’t alreadyaddressing this need.

Today’s veterinariansand state animal health of-ficials already have onlineconnectivity as well as in-stant online access andsearchable database thatallows for quicker re-sponse and containment ofanimal disease diagnosisand outbreaks in an emer-gency situation. I am alsoaware of real-time tech-nology under developmentin animal agriculture thatwill soon have the capabil-ity to integrate and aggre-gate data — and meet thesame goals as the EPS sys-tem. And private industrysystems will be no cost totaxpayers! Respectfully,

Teres LambertWindsor, Colo.

“Bargains in the meatcase might be hard to find,”said University of MissouriExtension economist RonPlain at the recent Ag Mar-keting Outlook Conference.

Bringing home the baconthis year requires morecash. Short supplies of cat-tle and hogs are pushingprices upward at the salebarn and the supermarket.

Porcine epidemic diar-rhea virus (PEDv) causedthe largest-ever drop in pigsper litter (PPL) from De-cember to February. PPLplummeted by 5.5 percent.The second biggest dropwas June to August 1988,when PPL dropped 1.68 per-cent. “We haven’t seen thismagnitude of loss before,”Plain said.

The spread of PEDVslows during warm weatherand appears to have peakedin February and March.

Pork inventories de-clined 3.2 percent in March.Plain said hog prices areexpected to remain wellabove $100 per hundred-weight this summer and de-cline to the $90s by the endof the year.

This translates to higherprices for consumers andproducers. The U.S. Bureauof Labor Statistics reportsthat a pound of bacon aver-aged $5.55 in March, 21 per-cent more than last year.Ham increased by 12.5 per-

cent to $4.20 per pound.Prices in the Midwest re-main lower than nationalprices, except for eggs,which saw a 15 percent in-crease.

“Where’s the beef?”might be the next question.The drought of 2012 re-duced forage supplies forcattle and contributed tothe lowest number of cattlesince 1951, Plain said. Fu-ture cattle prices are pre-dicted to be around $1.40per pound. Cow-calf profitmargins should remainabout $350 per cow, he said.

Plain said USDA fore-casts less beef on the mar-ket throughout 2014. Beefproducers should expectstrong prices all year. Hesaid cattle slaughterthrough mid-April wasdown 4.8 percent.

The Bureau of Labor Sta-tistics showed an 11 percentincrease in the price ofground beef to $3.69 perpound in March.

Per capita meat con-sumption in 2012 was thelowest since 1991. Plainsaid consumers face stickershock as beef and dairyprices increase, and thereis less meat available forexport. Continued droughtin California, which pro-duces one of every fivedairy cows, will affect thenation’s supply of milk usedin dairy products.

In row crops, MU Exten-sion specialist David Rein-bott said planting progressis behind. Based on USDA’sMarch 31 planting inten-tions report, there will be3.7 million fewer corn acresplanted this year.

The national season-av-erage corn price should bearound $4.40 per bushel,but that could fall to justunder $4 if ending stocksare over 1.8 billion, Rein-bott said. The price may benearer $5 if ending stocksare closer to 1.2 billionbushels. New crop pricescould peak in May andtrend downward to a sea-sonal low in October ifplanting is not delayed

much and there is little sig-nificant heat or dryness.

Reinbott said U.S. pro-ducers are expected toplant fewer acres of corn,but soybean acres could bemore than 5 million.

Reinbott also said civilunrest in Ukraine maydrive up wheat pricesacross the world. Ukraineexports 6 percent of theworld’s wheat.

Domestically, droughtcoupled with freezing tem-peratures in late Marchcaused about one-third ofthe nation’s wheat crop tobe in poor to very poor con-dition in key states such asKansas, Oklahoma andTexas.

Kolby Seested, Ft Scott, exhibited the reserve mar-ket beef at the Flint Hill Classic Spring LivestockShow.

Reps. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) and Kurt Schrader (D-Ore.) authored a bipartisan letter requesting the Envi-ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corpsof Engineers (Corps.) to back off their plan to increasefederal control over surface water by the expandingoverly broad definition of ‘navigable waters’ under theClean Water Act (CWA). The letter outlined strong con-cerns about the negative impact the proposed rule willhave on farms all across the country and contained 231signatures from both Republicans and Democrats, rep-resenting more than half of the U.S. House of Represen-tatives.

One of the signatories, Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Tex.),has also introduced the Defense of Environment andProperty Act (H.R. 3377) to tighten the definition of nav-igable waters, limit the authority of the EPA and theCorps. and provide landowners with additional protec-tions.

For the week of May 7, 2014:

The Kansas Grain Sorghum Commission (KGSC) and theKansas Grain Sorghum Producers Association (KGSPA)have joined into a cooperative agreement that will allowthe two organizations to share office space and staff.

The KGSPA has shared staff and office space with theKansas Corn Growers Association for several years.

“Corn and sorghum are both feed grains with our maincustomers being livestock, ethanol and exports. Because ofour shared customers and issues, this has been a good fit,”according to KGSPA president Greg Shelor of Minneola.“The Kansas Grain Sorghum Commission offered an oppor-tunity to bring both of our sorghum groups under one roof.”

Discussions between the leaders of the two groupsbegan in January and resulted in a contractual arrange-ment in which the KGSC will be the administrator of thetwo organizations.

KGSC chairman Clayton Short of Assaria said theKansas Grain Sorghum Producers Association and Com-mission are joining efforts to improve production and prof-itability for Kansas growers.

“I expect this partnership to function as a very efficientgroup with joint staff, focused research projects, and pro-vide a unified voice for sorghum growers,” Short said.“Grain sorghum has several traits and characteristics thatallow it to excel in the tough Kansas water and heat-

stressed environments. I look forward to working togetherwith the association, commission and all Kansas growers toimprove profitability of grain sorghum.”

While KGSPA will no longer share staff with the KansasCorn Growers Association, KCGA president Bob Timmonsof Fredonia said the bonds between the two organizationswill remain strong.

“KGSPA has been a part of our family for many years,and while they are leaving our office, we plan to continueto work with them on issues that affect both corn andsorghum farmers,” Timmons said.

Sorghum checkoff funds are administered by the UnitedSorghum Checkoff Program, the federal checkoff programauthorized through USDA. Through this program, theKansas Grain Sorghum Commission receives checkofffunds for research, market development, promotion andeducation. The association was established by Kansasgrain sorghum growers to represent members in legislativeand regulatory issues. The commission and association willcontinue to have separate boards and budgets.

The two groups will share staff. Jill Barnhardt, adminis-trator of the commission, will serve as executive directorfor the association. The commission and association ad-dress is 795 22nd Rd NW, Lebo. The phone number is 785-477-9474.

The Douglas County Con-servation District is con-ducting a sign-up throughJune 15, 2014 to accept re-quests for state financial as-sistance to install enduringconservation practices. Theconservation district ad-ministers state cost-shareprograms locally to improvewater quality and reducesoil erosion. Funding is pro-vided by the Division ofConservation, Kansas De-partment of Agriculturethrough appropriation fromthe Kansas Water PlanFund.

Landowners with natu-ral resource concerns ontheir property are encour-aged to visit the DouglasCounty Conservation Dis-trict to discuss the possibil-ity of receiving state finan-cial assistance. Funding is

provided through cost-share payments to landown-ers for eligible practicessuch as terraces, water-ways, grass plantings, live-stock water supplies, crossfencing, failing septic sys-tems and abandoned waterwell plugging. The sign-updoes not guarantee ap-proval of cost-share finan-cial assistance. Projectsstarted or completed priorto being approved for fund-ing are not eligible forthese funds.

Following the sign-updeadline each request willbe carefully reviewed to en-sure eligibility. The pro-posed project is ranked ac-cording to a system devel-oped by the Douglas CountyConservation District. Theranking system ensuresfairness to landowners and

ensures that cost-sharefunds are used to meet localconservation priorities.Land-owners approved forthe program are notified ofthe practice(s) approvedand the estimated amountof cost-share that will beprovided. Before the workcan begin the contract is ap-proved by the Division ofConservation and must besigned by the landowner(s).

The conservation districtworks closely with theUSDA Natural ResourcesConservation Service(NRCS) to protect and con-serve natural resources,primarily soil and water.Conservation practicesfunded with state cost-sharefunds must be installed and

maintained according toNRCS and DOC specifica-tions. It is necessary thatlandowners work closelywith NRCS in the planningstage to ensure practicesare applied correctly. Tech-nical assistance for thesepractices is provided free ofcharge by the USDA.

Acreage to be harvested for grain is estimated at8.40 million acres, unchanged from last year. Thiswould be 90 percent of the planted acres, above lastyear’s 88 percent harvested.

May 1 hay stocks of 1.34 million tons are near threetimes the holdings of last year.

The May supply and de-mand report had a little bitof something for everyone.First off, the old crop end-ing stocks estimate came inwell below expectations at1.146 billion bushels. Thatwas 185 million bushels be-low last month and wasmostly due to an increase inthe export estimate. It isalso interesting to note thatending stocks are now 858million bushels below theUSDA estimate from lastMay. That is partly due tolower production, but most-ly because USDA has a ten-dency to underestimate de-mand. USDA is expectingending stocks to grow to1.726 billion bushels, whichwas above the averagetrade guess, not because ofa large increase in produc-tion, but because of lowerdemand. They may be cor-rect about the lower de-mand if their higher worldending stocks estimates arecorrect, but since the high-er world stocks came aboutby tweaking numbers frompast crop years, I am suspi-cious.

Another thing I am sus-picious of is the record highcorn yield estimate of 165.3that they are using. Theyarrive at that number bythrowing out some data,which makes the trend linecome in higher. If you useall the data, trend line isabout 159.5 and the 5 and 10year averages would comein around 150, so I thinkthat they may be a little op-timistic. Of course if theweather ends up being goodthis year we could end upwith a very high yield, butreally good weather isn’tsomething we have seen

lately.The soybean yield esti-

mate is also record high at45.2. The highest we haveever been in 43.5, so justhaving a normal yieldwould change the complex-ion of the market a greatdeal. USDA doesn’t seem tobe underestimating newcrop soybean demand for achange, since they actuallycame in above this year. Ithink they are tired of con-stantly revising the demandnumbers higher and havedecided to be a little moreaggressive.

As for the wheat, I wasvery surprised to see theHRW production come inabove year ago levels.USDA was pretty aggressiveby coming in with Kansasproduction at 260.4 millionand Oklahoma at only 62.7million. However, thestates of Colorado, Nebras-ka, Montana, and NorthDakota make up for theshortfall in Kansas, Oklaho-ma, and Texas. I found thatvery interesting. I think wecould see further cuts inKansas, but maybe Montanawill save us in the end.

The new crop wheat end-ing stocks estimate came inlower than the old crop at540 million. That is the low-est since 2008, but still wayabove the 306 million fromthat year. The reason thatstocks are supposed to stayabove 2008 levels is USDA’sassumption that demandwill drop considerably fromthis year and that is predi-cated upon their assump-tion that world domestic de-mand will finally drop after10 consecutive years of in-creases. World demand hasrarely dropped in the last

50 years, so look for theworld demand figures tocreep up through the yearand with it, the U.S. demandmay have to creep higher aswell.

I don’t want to comeacross as radically bullish,but I can certainly seewhere it would only takesome very small changes toeither supply or demand tomake our numbers veryfriendly to prices. The mar-kets are going to be verysensitive to weather thissummer since we are start-ing off with record highyield estimates, and betterthan expected demand forcorn or wheat could makethings uncomfortably tightin those markets. That isn’tto say that we don’t havedownside potential in thegrains, because a good startto the summer will definite-ly put pressure on the De-cember corn, but the thingto remember is that noteverything is bearish outthere and don’t underesti-mate the upside potential ofthe grain markets this sum-mer. Use options to setprice floors and leave someopportunities open.

Looking at the cattlemarket is a good way to re-mind you to not underesti-mate the upside potentialin a market. The cattle havedefinitely slowed down, butat the same time we haven’tseen a clear sign of achange in the trend, espe-cially in the feeder cattle.The charts suggest that weare ready to make anotherleg higher in the markets, sobe prepared for new con-tract highs very soon.
