Your generation needs to know

YOUR NEIGHBORS NEED YOUR HELPCurrently, one in nine people in our community are struggling to find reliable access to affordable, nutritious food. It is likely that someone you know may be affected by this. Is your friend, neighbor, or even a family member choosing between food and medicine behind closed doors?Generations has been a part of our community for over 50 years. During that time, we have seen Home Delivered Meals provide a lifeline to homebound older adults in our six-county area. However, we now find ourselves unable to meet the demand for food assistance. Funding for Home Delivered Meals has not kept the pace with the increasing number of older adults in need. The number of those needing help continues to rise, and the cost per meal has increased by 30% in the past few years. However, federal and state funds have not been adjusted accordingly.Without adequate funding, we have been forced to have a waiting list for this much needed service.

Living on purpose

BILLY HOLLAND Appreciating and honoring our nation’s VeteransThis is the official week when we honor and remember our veterans from all wars, though we honor their service and sacrifices every day of the year. The current number of living veterans is approximately 17 million according to various Federal data sources, and we sincerely say, thank you. Veterans Day is not the same as Memorial Day, as this day of honor is a time to remember those who literally gave their lives for our country, particularly in combat or from wounds sustained in battle. Veterans Day, originally called Armistice Day, marked the end of WW1. In 1954, the title was changed to Veterans Day, and recognizes all those who have served in war or peace, living or deceased, to show appreciation for their military service.When we think about those who have served our nation, we realize that many men and women have paid a great price trying to defend and protect us, and we are truly grateful.

USDA Awards $325 Million for Conservation Partnership Projects

By Jason Vance The U.S. Department of Agriculture is investing $325 million in 42 projects through its Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP), supporting efforts to address natural resource concerns on agricultural lands and forests across the country. The RCPP uses public-private partnerships to develop conservation solutions, bringing together USDA, state and local governments, nonprofit organizations, agricultural producers and other partners. “It’s a partner-driven approach to conservation that funds solutions to natural resource challenges on American agricultural land,” said USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Chief Colton Buckley. Buckley said the program allows NRCS to work directly with partners while leveraging additional financial and in-kind support to accomplish shared conservation goals. RCPP projects generally operate through two approaches. RCPP Classic projects use traditional NRCS contracts and easements with producers, landowners and communities.

K-State veterinarian urges cattle producers to watch for coccidiosis in weaned calves

By Jason Vance As cattle producers work through fall weaning and marketing, K-State Extension beef veterinarian AJ Tarpoff is reminding them to watch for signs of coccidiosis, a parasitic disease that can affect calves already dealing with the stress of seasonal management changes. Weaned calves are particularly vulnerable this time of year as fluctuating temperatures combine with the added stress of weaning, commingling, transportation and marketing. While producers often associate these stressors with respiratory disease, Tarpoff said coccidiosis can also become a concern. Coccidiosis is caused by a protozoal parasite to which virtually all cattle have been exposed. Although exposure is common, stress and other management factors can contribute to a resurgence of the disease. Tarpoff said producers should watch for several symptoms, including straining to defecate, loose manure and small specks of bright red blood in the manure.

USDA Conservation Reserve Program Enrollment Nears 27 Million-Acre Cap

By Jason Vance The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Conservation Reserve Program continues to attract interest from farmers and ranchers more than four decades after its creation, with total enrollment now approaching the program’s 27-million-acre cap. USDA Farm Production and Conservation Under Secretary Richard Fordyce says the program remains popular across its various enrollment options, including general CRP, Grassland CRP and Continuous CRP. “It continues to be a very popular program, as was evidenced by our enrollments in general CRP, the folks that signed up for Grassland CRP, and then the folks that throughout the year will enroll specific areas that have a certain resource concern in what we call our continuous CRP,” Fordyce said. According to USDA figures, approximately 26.8 million acres are currently enrolled across all CRP practices, putting the program close to its 27-million-acre enrollment limit.

Producers Urged to Check Livestock Water Access Before Winter Freeze

By Jason Vance As colder weather approaches, livestock producers should take time to evaluate their watering systems and farm ponds to ensure cattle have reliable access to water throughout the winter. Joe Gerken, Kansas State University Fisheries and Aquatics Extension specialist, said now is an important time to inspect ponds, watering tanks and other water sources before freezing temperatures make problems more difficult to identify and address. Gerken recommends walking around farm ponds to check for erosion, steep banks and other potential hazards that could make it difficult for livestock to safely reach the water. “Now’s a good time to do that before the ice starts to freeze, especially on the edges of our pond, and we aren’t able to see those different changes,” Gerken said. Although farm ponds may not freeze completely, the shallow areas along the edges typically freeze first. That can create problems for livestock trying to reach open water.

USDA Announces $57 Million for Small and Mid-Sized Meat Processors

By Jason Vance Small and mid-sized meat processors across the country are expected to benefit from more than $57 million in tentative USDA funding aimed at expanding processing capacity and strengthening the nation’s meat supply chain. Vice President JD Vance announced the funding recently during a visit to Kansas as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program (MPPEP). The proposed funding includes 147 awards across 40 states, with allocations of up to more than $57 million pending congressional allotment. USDA Rural Development administers the program. Under Secretary Glenn Smith said the initiative addresses a critical challenge facing livestock producers and consumers: limited access to smaller and intermediate meat processing facilities. “MEPEP is an answer to, in some cases, shortages of those small processors and intermediate processors,” Smith said.

ALL.Mustard Weeds 111126

Fall is key time for mustard control in winter wheat, sprayer maintenance By Jason Vance Winter wheat producers should be watching for mustard weeds in their fields this fall while also taking time to properly clean and winterize their sprayers before freezing temperatures arrive. Kansas State University wheat specialist Sarah Ganske said fall is an important window for controlling mustard species because the plants are easier to manage before they begin bolting and producing flowering stalks in the spring. Mustard weeds emerging this fall are entering that rosette stage, making it an opportune time for producers to evaluate their fields and consider control options. Several species fall under the mustard family, including bushy wallflower, treacle mustard, flickweed, tansy mustard, blue mustard, field pennycress and shepherd’s purse. Ganske said blue mustard has been particularly noticeable in some areas following warm, dry fall conditions.

Wetland regulations remain concern for farmers and ranchers

By Jason Vance Farmers and ranchers should remain aware of federal wetland regulations as agencies work to revise rules following a 2023 U.S. Supreme Court decision that narrowed the federal government’s authority over certain wetlands, according to agricultural law expert Roger McEowen. McEowen, a law professor at Kansas State University and Washburn University, recently discussed the history of wetland regulation, the implications of the Supreme Court’s decision and what agricultural producers should consider when making land improvements or drainage decisions. The issue has been a source of legal disputes for decades, particularly involving the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and their authority under the Clean Water Act to regulate waters of the United States.
