Compared to people, cattle have a distinct disadvantage when it comes to handling some kinds of heat. Soaring tem- peratures and high humidity are taking a deadly toll, a Kansas State University veterinarian said. “Cattle lack the ability to sweat significantly, so it is critical that producers and livestock handlers take steps to reduce heat stress before conditions become dangerous,” said K-State Research and Extension veterinarian Larry Hollis. “High daytime temperature by itself rarely causes problems. It is a combination of the humidity with heat that creates the maximum heat load on cattle.” He cited this month’s reports in Kansas of hundreds of cattle deaths attributed to the weather mix. Temperatures well into the 90 F range coupled with high humidity levels to push heat indices to 105 degrees or above. Other factors compounded the cattle’s lack of ability to perspire. Sever- al days in a row of high temperatures, a lack of nighttime cooling, lack of shade or cloud cover, lack of wind, lack of air movement in pens, and grazing on endophyte-infested fescue pastures can all create problems for cattle, Hollis said. In addition, animals with dark hides and/or heavy body weights, as well as those in advanced stages of pregnancy are particularly vulnerable to the consequences of such weather. “Producers should watch for signs of heat-related dis- tress during hot, humid weather. The signs can include cat- tle going off feed, standing with their head over the water source, panting, salivating excessively, or open-mouthed breathing,” he added. Producers and feedlot managers should consider ways to alleviate the stress, when possi- ble, including: * Avoid gathering or working cattle after mid-morning; * Provide access to abundant cold water/waterer space and make sure the water flow rate is adequate; * Provide access to shade; * Provide the ability to move away from anything that reduces air flow, even cutting down weeds around pens; * Use sprinklers - wet the skin; * Control flies; “And, don’t forget about the people,” Hollis added. Most of the driest areas of the eastern Corn Belt received rain this week, which seems to have put an end to the weather scare. Forecasts still call for above normal temper- atures for the next two weeks, but moisture will be adequate, which eases the fears about the heat. For the week the De- cember corn lost 22 3/4 cents. Export sales were ex- cellent at 614,100 MT of old crop and 540,900 MT of new crop sales. USDA will have to raise the old crop export estimate in the next supply and de- mand report by at least 50 million bushels. Looking at the charts, the December corn closed just above the 100-day moving average support on Friday. Friday’s trad- ing action suggests we will see follow through selling on Sunday night unless the forecast is much hotter and much drier. A move down to $3.70 at some point next week is likely. This week’s commit- ment of traders report showed that Index funds have a record large net long position, which means that investment funds are still coming into commodity markets. Trad- ing funds are building their net long positions rapidly. Investment mon- ey flow is a bullish factor, but it is being matched and sometimes over- whelmed by farmer/ com- mercial selling. Do keep in mind though that the trend in the market is often dictated by the trend in the trading funds position. In other words, there should be very good support under the market next week. U.S. wheat futures chased the French mil- ling wheat higher again this week. The September KW nearly reached the $6.25 objective, and the market is overbought, so a correction should be ex- pected. However, the only thing that matters to the wheat market right now is the movement of the French wheat. If it keeps going up, so will the US wheat. For the week, the September KW gained 16 cents. Export sales were poor again at 382,100 MT. Sales have to be better than that to justify the current export estimate. The run up in the wheat is based on the idea that we will have less export comple- tion from Europe and the Black Sea region, but we sure haven’t seen any bet- ter business yet. It will have to show up soon to avoid a sharp break in prices. Heat and demand are keeping the soybean mar- ket supported, while moisture and large new crop ending stocks keep the bulls in check. The net result of that this week was that the Novem- ber soybeans were down 3 ½ cents. Soybean charts look good. It will probably take another dry spell to get it done, but the soy- beans are in position to start another leg higher. Funds are buying, im- porters are buying, tech- nical indicators are telling you to be long. All that is lacking is a supply scare. Next week’s fore- casts will have a huge im- pact on the price trend for the rest of the growing season. A dry forecast will take the November soybeans to $10.20. Cash cattle trade came in at $95 and the futures had a good week as well. August LC gained $1.20 and the August FC gained $2.15. The August FC made higher highs every day this week. I think that the cattle market can continue to move higher, but we are due for a correction. A $2 break in the October LC is likely, but it is also a buy- ing opportunity. This is the correction the market needs before making new contract highs. Schwieterman Market- ing, L.L.C. specializes in risk management and cash grain and livestock market- ing plans.

cash wheat prices in Kansasand July 2010 Kansas CityBoard of Trade wheat fu-tures widened sharply inmid-June rather than mov-ing toward convergence asthe cash and futures pricesnormally do. This situationis raising questions aboutthe relationship betweenthe cash and futures mar-kets for hard red winter(HRW) wheat and creatingthe potential for additionalrisk for producers in theirmarketing and financial riskmanagement decisions.
“The cash basis differen-tial has widened to as muchas $1.25 to $1.60 per bushelunder futures in westernKansas and to $1.00 to $1.20under futures in centralKansas,” said Kansas StateUniversity agriculturaleconomist Daniel O’Brien.“That’s as much as $0.55 to$0.60 wider than we’ve seenin June in at least the last 12years.” For example, onJuly 19th, cash wheat pricesat Hutchinson were $4.84per bushel and at Colby,$4.40 per bushel. On thatsame day July, 2010 wheatfutures on the Kansas CityBoard of Trade closed at$5.95 a bushel. Typically, thecash price and the futuresprice of a commodity come
together, or converge, dur-ing the month that the wheatis to be delivered, alsocalled the spot month,O’Brien said.
O’Brien and colleagueArt Barnaby, who is a riskmanagement specialist –both with K-State Researchand Extension – agree thatthe cash HRW wheat priceshave been reflecting thereal market value of wheat –the export value plus trans-portation costs to bring it toport, in competition with thevalue of HRW wheatprocessed by U.S. millersfor domestic food consump-tion. If that is correct, thedifference between wheatcash and futures priceswould need to decline by$0.50 to $0.60 or more perbushel to converge to June-July basis levels that haveexisted in the Kansas wheatmarket over the last fiveyears.
When determining whythe gap between July cashmarkets and futures valueshas not narrowed, the econ-omists said they believe sev-eral factors are involved.They have focused on howwell the wheat futures deliv-ery system has worked toallow arbitrage forces tobring about convergence be-tween the hard red winterwheat cash and futures mar-
kets. The bottom line, theysaid, is that there are a num-ber of reasons why farmershave been unable to obtainenough warehouse receiptsto exploit their economic in-centive to deliver on theKCBT wheat futures con-tract and force convergencebetween futures and cashprices.
In the short term,O’Brien and Barnaby expectKansas grain basis levels toremain wide because of acombination of wheat mar-ket supply and demand fac-tors and the likelihood thatKCBT HRW wheat futuresdelivery mechanisms de-signed to bring about con-vergence of cash and fu-tures prices are not func-tioning as well as intended.In addition, it is possiblethat a combination of fac-tors including limited grainstorage space in Kansas, dif-ficulties in moving a sizable2010 wheat crop into exportchannels, and prospects forlarge feedgrain and oilseedcrops in fall 2010 may leadto wider-than-normal basislevels for fall crops as well.“The current market condi-tions have created addition-al basis risk for growers, be-cause hedgers can no longercount on cash-futures con-vergence at deliverypoints,” Barnaby said. “If
hedgers could count on thewide basis to remain, thenefficient hedging could con-tinue. One would just add$0.50 to the historical basis.The new source of risk ingrain marketing is the in-creasingly unpredictablelocal grain basis caused bylack of convergence. It ispossible, however, that mar-ket supply-demand forceswill cause the wheat basis tonarrow or even return tohistorically `normal´ levelsin the near-to-intermediateterm future,” he said.
For that reason, Barnabyadded, it is important thatfarmers avoid being caughton the wrong side of thewheat basis when and if itnarrows.
“Contrary to normal,farmers now may be facing amuch larger risk of astronger (narrower) wheatbasis if they forward con-tract grain for future deliv-ery to country grain eleva-tors,” Barnaby said. “Wheatbasis is likely to strengthenif supply-demand factorssuch as a major U.S. or for-eign wheat crop failure or adramatic reduction in U.S.winter wheat acreage oc-curs. Often a short crop willcause prices to increase.Farmers with a crop failurewho pre-harvest forwardcontracted grain at wide
basis levels would be forcedto fill their forward contractobligations by buying high-er-priced grain during a pe-riod of higher futures pricesand stronger basis levelsthan reflected in their lowerforward contracted price.”
For those reasons, hesaid, farmers may want toavoid locking in wide basislevels as they forward pricegrain in 2010-2011. Forwardpricing of wheat withoutlocking in wide basis levelscan be accomplished byusing short hedges, by pur-chasing puts, or in somecases by finding a grain ele-vator that is offering anopen basis contract, alsocalled a hedge-to-arrivecontract.
“These grain marketingtools, combined with croprevenue insurance that hasan open basis, allow for pro-tection from volatile futuresprices without commitmentto wide cash basis levels,”Barnaby said.

COME PREPARED TO BUY!!!
One of my favorite veg-etable eating combinationsis the mix of cauliflower,broccoli and carrot. Whenyou purchase these vegeta-bles processed, it is oftenreferred to as the Californiablend. Now is the time toplant any or all of these veg-etable crops along withbeans and beets to create aKansas blend.
Broccoli and cauliflowercan be started from seed inthe garden, but often it isplanted already as a smallplant. Beans, beets and car-rots are started from seed.Fall seeding is differentfrom spring. Plant the seedslightly deeper to ensure
seeds don’t dry out and thesoil temperature won’t be asextreme.
It is suggested to seedheavy and to do some thin-ning later to ensure an ade-quate stand. The seed willneed to be kept moist whichmeans frequent wateringthat typically forms a cruston the soil. To alleviatecrusting, sprinkle a smalllayer of peat moss, vermicu-lite or compost directly overthe seed row.
Carrots have someunique characteristics.They take 14 to 21 days togerminate. Most vegetablesand weeds germinate soon-er than the carrots. The soil
needs to be loose to an 8 or 9inch depth. Because ofthese challenges, I prefer togrow carrots in containersfilled with weed-free pot-ting mix. Five gallon buck-ets work well for me.
My colleague in Sedg-wick County, RebeccaMcMahan, host¡s a veg-etable gardening blog. Onher blog she has a section ongarden templates. She wascordial in including my fa-vorite blend of vegetables.Check out the vegetablecombinations to grow at
http://thedemogarden.org/garden-templates/.
The young tenderseedlings in the fall havebeen nice juice morsels forfeeding insects. I have need-ed the use of floating rowcover to keep my young veg-etable plants from beingharvested without my per-mission. Prepare for insectand small mammal issuesbefore it is too late.
Fall vegetable gardeningproduces the best tastingcool-season crops of theyear. There are several re-sources available for fallvegetable gardening. The“Kansas Garden Guide” hasa chapter on “Fall Gardens”along with specifics on indi-vidual crops and muchmore. It is available fromthe local K-State Researchand Extension office andonline at www.ksre.ksu.edu.
At the same website, youcan get the publication on“Fall Vegetable Gardens.”
You can find out more in-formation on this and otherhorticulture topics by goingto the Riley County, K-StateResearch and Extensionwebsite at www.riley.ksu.edu. Gregg may be con-tacted by calling 785-537-6350 or stopping by 110Courthouse Plaza in Man-hattan or e-mail: [email protected].

The Cattle Feeders HallOf Fame has inducted H.C.(Ladd) Hitch and KennyMonfort as its newest mem-bers and presented a spe-cial honor to former TCFApresident & CEO RichardMcDonald.
Ladd Hitch was a mem-ber of the prominent Okla-homa Panhandle family thathas been involved in ranch-ing and farming since the1880s. He is considered tobe the one who establishedthe family feeding business.Hitch was among the first to
believe that cattle feedingcould succeed in the HighPlains using locally pro-duced feedstuffs ratherthan shipping animals out ofstate to be finished. Fromits small beginnings with afew pens in 1953, the Hitchfamily feeding business hasgrown to three separateyards with a capacity of160,000 head. Two of hisgrandsons, TCFA boardmember Chris Hitch andTCFA member Jason Hitch,currently head the familybusiness, which also in-
Kenny Monfort is remem-bered for transforming hisfamily’s small farm in Col-orado into a vast cattle feed-ing and beef-packing busi-ness. A key element of hisaccomplishments was hisrecognition of how to im-prove efficiencies withinthe industry by combiningfeeding with packing.
Richard McDonald, whoretired from TCFA in 2006following a 32-year careerwith the association, re-ceived the Hall’s new Indus-try Leadership Award. Thehonor is intended to salutethe contributions of a non-cattle feeder to the industry.McDonald joined the TCFAstaff in 1974 as executive di-rector, and in 1988 was ap-pointed as chief executiveof the association. Amonghis many victories on behalfof cattle feeders over theyears, McDonald was instru-mental in helping pass anumber of tax-relief meas-ures for cattlemen, obtain-ing clear title and promptpayment legislation for agproducers and workedclosely with other beef or-ganizations to developcoalitions to obtain impor-tant legislative victories inAustin and Washington D.C.

Some people live in oneof the most dangerous workplaces in America —- thefamily farm. That’s right.The family farm. Agricul-ture ranks second in the na-tion as the most dangerousoccupation, next to mining.
Farmers are at high riskfor fatal and nonfatal in-juries, work-related lungdiseases, noise-inducedhearing loss, skin diseasesand cancers associated withchemical use and prolongedsun exposure. Researchshows that in an averageyear 516 workers die doingfarm work in the U.S. (1992-2005).
Family members whooften share the work arealso at risk for injuries, ill-ness and death. Between 175and 300 children die in farmaccidents each year, andthousands more are serious-ly injured.
If you live on a farm, youalready know how danger-ous it is. It is something youlive with on a daily basis.Yet, with a few precautions,farm accidents are prevent-able.
Why is this such a tough
issue? Economics are in-volved. Family values areinvolved. It goes to the heartof family farming.
It costs money to be safe.It takes money to upgradeequipment and to have safe-ty features like shields onpower trains installed onolder farm equipment. It’smoney some farmers don’thave. In the scramble to getby, one place farmers oftencut corners is in the area ofsafety.
Tractors need roll-overprotection. How many farm-ers can afford to retrofittheir equipment? Tractorroll-overs are the numberone cause of farm-relateddeaths. One fifth of farmdeaths are caused by trac-tors overturning.
When safety practicesare discussed, farmers oftensay, “Get real.” Improve-ments are too expensive ortoo impractical to be used.
It takes a lot of work to su-pervise children on a familyfarm. There are lots of dan-gerous places to be. Chil-dren lack judgment.
Farmyards have a lot ofvehicle and equipment
movement. Besides parents,there are fathers, brothers,truckers and others whocome into the yard. Parentsneed to insure that thereare no unsupervised wan-derings, not for a minute.For young children, an en-closed play yard providessafety. Babysitters and daycare can be used when nec-essary. Drowning incidentsaccounted for one-fourth ofthe total deaths, and one-third of the deaths amongyouth less than 5 years old.
Parents shouldn’t try towork on the farm and watchchildren at the same time.Attention is divided andsometimes parents losetrack of their kids — withtragic results.
Too much, too soon. Hav-ing the kids take responsi-bilities on the farm is a partof the process of raising thenext generation of farmers,a goal many family farmersshare.
Children need age andability appropriate tasks.Instead they are often ex-pected to perform adult re-sponsibilities. Unfortunate-ly there isn’t a lot knownabout development normsfor operating differentpieces of farm equipment orfor different farm tasks.Even when the norms areknown, farmers tend tooverestimate the abilitiesand judgment of their chil-dren.
Even if dads understandthe safety issues, they willhave a hard time saying nowhen his kids are pushing tohelp. Kids will have peerpressure from their farmfriends.
Teens need to meet thesame tractor safety certifi-cation rules as if farmerswere hiring a teenager fromanother family. One of thestatistical peaks for farm ac-cidents is for 13-year-oldboys who have physicallymatured but lack mentaljudgment in dealing with acrisis. Farm equipment gen-erally isn’t designed for useby children and consequent-ly safety features for chil-dren are lacking. When chil-dren are operating four-wheelers, they need to wearsafety helmets. Some dadsmay not see the necessity.
One of the biggest causesof farm child deaths comesfrom allowing them on trac-tors as extra riders. Dads
and grandpas might missthe danger. They grew up inan era when unsafe farmingpractices were common-place and they survived justfine.
Farmers are in a hurry.Farmers are driven, timeconscious workers who areanxious about completingtheir work and getting on tothe next job. Being in ahurry gets in the way ofusing proper safety precau-tions. They know better butthey think they can savetime by cutting corners. If ason has watched his fathercut corners over the yearsand there weren’t any acci-dents, then his confidenceand safety practices may re-flect an “it can’t happen tome” attitude.
Farmers respect theneed for shields for theirpower-trains on tractors,augers and other equip-ment. Sometimes they gettoo busy to replace a shieldand invite disaster some-time down the road. Whenheaders get plugged, farm-ers need to shut off theequipment. Fingers, handsand feet shouldn’t get nearrunning equipment. Evenwhen farmers have the nec-
essary certification as pesti-cide applicators, they aretempted to cut corners onthe use of safety clothes,goggles or gloves.
As you can see, some ofthese safety issues goagainst the grain. To farm-ers, it may seem like open-ing the door to governmentregulation, added expense,more inconvenience andtaking children away fromwork experiences on theirown farm.
These are all good argu-ments until you read the sto-ries, see the statistics andhear of families who havesuffered a tragic loss. Hope-fully it won’t take an acci-dent or a near miss to edu-cate hard-headed, hard-nosed farmers. Good farm-ing means putting safetyfirst.

Mike Christian, who retired from full-time employmentafter more than 33 years with the Kansas Cooperative Ex-tension Service, has been inducted into the Hall of Famefor the National Association of County Agricultural Agents.
Christian was honored during NACAA’s annual meetingin Tulsa, Okla. on July 13. He is a past president of theKansas Association of County Agricultural Agents and hasbeen active at the national meeting for 23 years.
“It’s a little overwhelming for me to receive that award;it’s humbling,” Christian said. “But certainly, I’m quite ap-preciative.”
Christian’s 33-year career includes three years as a 4-Hagent in Dickinson County, 21 years as the agriculturalagent in Riley County, and nine years as a state watershedspecialist for K-State Research and Extension.
“In the last nine years, with the water quality work andgetting to work with livestock producers one on one to meetwater quality standards... that’s been one of the most re-warding times of my career because I’ve been able to followthe project all the way through,” Christian said.
Since 2006, Christian has helped develop managementplans for 155 animal feeding operations in Kansas. Cur-rently, he works two days a week for K-State, still as a statewatershed specialist.
“I hope the work we’ve done over these years makes adifference in people’s lives,” Christian said. “That’s whywe’re in Extension, to help people. I hope the contributionsI’ve made have made that difference for them.” Christianand his wife, Cheryl, live in Manhattan.
I’ve lost ten pounds.I know, the joke is:
“You’ve lost ten pounds?Take a look behind you — Ijust found it.” But it’s reallytrue – I have lost ten poundsand I’m working on more.
Last time I was in to seemy doctor, he told me Ishould lose some weight.(No duh — he went to med-ical school for this?) I al-ready knew I wanted to takeoff some pounds, but now Igot serious about it and I’velost about ten pounds since.
Here’s my four-step dietplan: (1) Strictly limit fat in-take; (2) Eat lean beef, smallportions, and no desserts; (3)Snack on cauliflower, car-rots, and fruit rather thanchips and cheese; and (4)Ride horseback every day.(I’m not sure how ridinghorseback figures into thediet, but hey – it’s workin’for me. Besides, there’s theadded benefit of being able
to say, “I’d like to take careof that, honey, but I need togo saddle the horse — it’spart of my weight loss plan,you know.”)
Actually, my wife is thebrains behind this weightloss plan (and everythingelse around here but thehorseback ride). She be-lieves it is the extra fat inthe diet that I need to watch.We’re not believers in ex-pensive diets or specialmedicines, but rather exer-cise and eating in modera-tion. The beauty of this dietis that it doesn’t requirepills or plans and it still en-ables me to eat beef, for ex-ample. In fact, I’ve had someterrific steaks recentlywhile losing the weight.
In Garden City, there is abig sign atop the grain ele-vator at the Brookover FeedYard that says “Eat Beef —Keep Slim.” That seems ap-propriate, given that Earl
Brookover was one of theearly pioneers in the cattlefeeding industry. He builtthe very first commercialfeedyard in the High Plainsregion in 1951. Today,Kansas has more than twomillion head of cattle onfeed. I always thought the“Eat Beef — Keep Slim”sign was an ingenious wayof promoting the productwhile acknowledging themodern-day desire to stayslender.
Our commodity organi-zations work very hard atpromoting consumption ofour products, and certainlythat’s true of the beef indus-try. The various check-offprograms are designed topromote and encourage ourproducts (Seems to me thatdeciding how to allocatethose funds would be adilemma. You need to spendenough money in farm coun-try to be visible so as tomaintain political supportamong producers, but youreally should be spendingthat money in the citieswhere most of the con-sumers are located).
Anyway, I’m thankful forthose people who work topromote our Kansas farmproducts, and I’m gratefulthat lean beef can still bepart of a weight loss plan.My doctor will be pleasedthat I’ve taken off somepounds — and my horse willbe even happier.
We sold 1860 cattle July 20. There was good demand for steerand heifer calves at steady to higher prices. There was a verygood run of high quality feeder steers and heifers off grass,which sold steady to $2.00 higher. Cows and bulls sold $1.00-3.00 lower. SPECIAL EARLY CONSIGNMENTS
