Emerson
allegations
not credible
court finds
Accused claimed
history with judge who
signed warrant
BY DANE HICKS
GARNETT Anderson
County District Court Judge
Eric Godderz on Wednesday
denied a pivotal motion in the
felony drug case aganist Tom
Emerson of Garnett, ruling
that the defense failed to present compelling evidence that
a 2020 search warrant issued
for Emersons home should
be quashed because it was
signed by a judge with whom
Emerson claimed to have had
a past sexual relationship.
The long-delayed hearing
on the motion by the defense
was set specifically to investigate Emersons allegation
of bias in the initial search
warrant. Emerson faces more
than a dozen felonies and one
misdemeanor charge involving possession and distribution of methamphetamine
and using a cell phone in the
process of those activities.
No major injuries
in Garnett house fire
Apartment house,

cause undetermined
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY
GARNETT Three tenants of
a vintage Garnett apartment
house escaped serious injury
Wednesday when one of the
units erupted into flames and
claimed the structure before
local fire units could salvage
the building.
Tenant Bailey Weide was
on the porch of her downstairs unit at the corner of
Fifth and Walnut Streets
talking with two members
of the Lawrence Police
Department when one of the
Lawrence cops saw flames
through the downstairs
window. Landlord Jerry
Peterson said Weides three
year-old son was inside the
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
apartment, and Weide had to
gain access to retrieve him
from another downstairs door
because flames had already
made the apartments front
room impenetrable.
The cause of the fire was
undetermined, according to
the Kansas Fire Marshalls
office.
Peterson said Weide and
her son were staying with
family in the aftermath of the

BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA The plugging of
abandoned oil and gas wells
in Anderson County will likely get a funding boost due to
President Bidens Bipartisan
Infrastructure Bill passed late
last year.
The bill appropriated some
$58.6 million to seal up an estimated 5,400 oil and gas wells
in Kansas. Left unsealed or
improperly plugged, the wells
can leak and threaten water
supplies and cause other envi-
ronmental hazards.
A 2022 report lists 21 remaining documented orphan
gas or oil wells in Anderson
County that are documented. Some 300 wells have been
plugged in Anderson County
since a state funding assistance program started in 1996.
Some 19,000 out of a Kansas
Corporation
Commission
reported 22,000 abandoned
wells in the state are located in
the eastern portion of Kansas
in a district headquartered in
Chanute, due to the regions
traditionally rich supplies of
oil and natural gas. Costs to
cap those wells in the Chanute
district was estimated (2017)
and just over $4,000, but deeper

Most of 22,000

Key to Emersons motion
was his claim that he had
a long-term casual sexual
relationship with District
Magistrate
Judge Kevin
Kimball
which the
defense
argued led
to bias when
Kimball
signed
a
search warEmerson
rant
for
Emersons
home in February 2020.
Emerson claimed to have met
Kimball while Kimball was
using an alias on a hookup website shortly after
Emerson moved to Garnett in
2004, and began a years-long
casual relationship with him
after determining his real
identity. Emerson claimed
the relationship broke off
after he had relations with a
partner of Kimballs.
In his testimony and
cross examination, Kimball
denied having had any type
wells in Western Kansas can
cost more than $13,000 apiece
to seal.
Dwight Keen, chairman
of the Kansas Corporation
Commission, said infusion of
federal investment in abandon
well remediation would accelerate well-plugging efforts
in Kansas and help protect
freshwater resources in the
state. The KCC has regulatory
responsibilities for oil and gas
wells.
Addressing the abandoned-well issue in Kansas is
critical to our environmental protection mission, Keen
said. Given the potential costs
associated with plugging abandoned oil and gas wells, we
appreciate the availability of
federal funds to compliment
the states well-plugging fund.
Overall, the legislation
adopted by Congress and
signed by President Joe Biden
earmarked $4.7 billion for dealing with orphan oil and gas
wells.
The initial phase of the program allocated $1.15 billion for
abandoned wells in Kansas and
25 other states. Each state was
eligible for $25 million in federal grants, with opportunity to
apply for additional aid.

high for U.S. soybean exports
to China in dollar terms
and, of course, higher commodity value prices helped
that out. It was an all-time
record for any month in history for U.S. exports to China
overall, and it was an all-time
record for total U.S. agricultural exports to the world, he
said.
What will 2022 mean for
agricultural trade and markets? Answering that question was the focus of a recent
online forum.
The Farm Foundation
Forum: 2022 Economic
Outlook for Agriculture
featured a panel moderated
by Doud, vice president of
situational awareness and
chief economist, Aimpoint
Research. Panelists discussing the 2022 outlook for ag
policy, trade and markets
were Amanda Countryman,
associate professor of agricultural economics at Colorado
State University, and Dan
Basse, president, AgResource
Company.
Countryman provided an
agricultural trade and policy
overview.
Theres a lot of really
exciting things happening
when it comes to trade with
China, she said.

son of Lonnie
Joseph and
Mary
Ann
(Setter) Platt.
Platt
E m e r y
grew
up
on the family farm West
of Richmond and attended
school at the local one-room
schoolhouse (Prairie View)
until eighth grade when he
left school to work the family farm after his fathers illness. In 1957, he enlisted in
the U.S. Army and after successful completion of signal
corps training at Fort Gordon,
Augusta, Georgia, he received
orders to report to the Far East
Communications Command in
Japan. He achieved the rank
of Specialist Five (E-5). He
enjoyed his time immersed in
the Japanese culture. After fulfilling his active duty commitment and being honorably discharged he returned to Kansas.
Emery married Patty Mader in

jobs including construction
of Osawatomie High School,
International Harvester in
Kansas City, farmhand at the

softball for over 20 years in
Garnett and Greeley. He also
coached St. Johns baseball for
a few years.
Emery was a founder of the
Kansas River Gang and over
several decades, he and the
gang performed hundreds of
shows. He was also devoted to
individually participating in
Civil War reenactment events
throughout the Midwest. One
highlight was receiving a special invitation to attend the
movie screening for Ride
With The Devil and appear in
historic Civil War apparel in
Merriam, Kansas.
He loved spending time with
his four grandchildren and
continually remarked they
were his treasures.
He was preceded in death

When I hit the send button on my article that goes to
the Review I know it goes to
a diverse group of people in
many different stages of their
life as well as their Christian
beliefs. This article will focus
on a man who was a pagan in
Rome. In Acts 16: 16-40 we read
the account of Paul and Silas in
prison in Phillipi. They were
in prison for driving a demon
from a slave girl who was making money for her owners by
predicting the future. They
were stripped and flogged and
placed in an inner cell where
they began praying and singing.
Suddenly there was a violent earthquake and the prison
doors flew open and everyones
chains came off. The jailer
facing a death sentence if
they escaped prepared to kill
himself. Paul shouted, Dont
harm yourself! We are all
here! The jailer having witnessed the beating Paul and
Silas had endured and then
hearing them singing and praying fell under conviction and
asked them. Sirs, what must I
do to be saved? They replied,
Believe in the Lord Jesus and
you will be saved-you and your
household. That is as simple an explanation of salvation
as there is in the Bible. You
will be saved if you believe
in Jesus. If you have never
believed in the Lord Jesus, why
not?

believe because they place a
higher value on the lifestyle
they are living than on a relationship with Jesus. It is this
choice that separates people
from God, The jailer knew
in his heart, like you and I
do, that he had broken Gods
law, and he was going to stand
before God and answer for it.
We see this principal
revealed in Genesis 3:8-9, when
Adam and his wife hear God
walking toward them in the
garden. Having just broken
the only command God had
given them they felt guilty and
hid. But the LORD called to
the man, Where are you?
Adams response to God was
he was afraid. The reality of
standing before God at the
judgment will hold no fear for
the believer. But it will hold
only fear for the one who has
never believed in Christ. Just
like the jailer and Adam.
Ministry on the Holiness of God.

OPINION
KSBE stops Kelly, cancel culture
from taking Randy Watsons scalp
Kansas Commissioner of Education Randy
Watsons mistake wasnt making a joke during
a Zoom conference about the satirically remote
possibility of an Indian attack on the Kansas
plains.
Instead, his mistake was being born white,
and living long enough to have to survive in a
victim class-obsessed culture of fragile, wailing
political crybabies where businesses and organizations are too gutless to tell them all to go
pound sand.
So Watsons 30-day suspension without pay,
affected by the chagrined Kansas Board of
Education last week and whined for by none
other than Lockdown Laura Kelly and a handful of whimpering state legislators, wont solve
the problem. When Watson comes back to work
in April, he will most likely still be white.
Whether Watson should lose his job for other
reasons is up for debate. Considering Kansas
low student performance to grade level standards he hasnt done a particularly good job
overall, though its hard to say how much of
the blame falls at his feet in view of the dumbed
down, federally dependent, social consciousness pus sack bureacracy into which public
schools have devolved.
But we still have to give at least a little credit
to the Kansas School Board for voting unanimously not to accept Watsons letter of resignation when he wrongfully but dutifully offered
to fall on his sword due to this manufactured
controversy last week. Its rare nowadays to
see any public body stand up for sensibility and
contradict the breathless, blubber-lipped cancel
culture mob when they demand a scalp in their
unending quest to never again be offended.
Could it be that the current situation in the
world where a Slavic superpower now ravages one of its sovereign neighbors; where awful
American leadership ignores our debt-plagued
economy; where imbecilic, inflation-feeding
Green Energy policy promises gasoline prices most of us cant afford and where surging
crime and a teabag southern border threatens
our household and family safety has finally
illustrated what real problems actually look
like?
When we can watch the tank tracks of actual
despotism roll over Ukraine almost in real time,
maybe all these media-agitated, fake oppression, woe-is-me hurt feelings here in luxurys
lap suddenly dont look so threatening after all?
Indeed, there are those even in Kansas so
obsessed with themselves and their imaginary

victimhood that they wholly support ending
someones career over a wise crack about his
California cousins being afraid to visit Kansas
back when he was a kid. Watson joked that his
California kin were afraid of tornadoes, as per
our Wizard of Oz infamy. No, he quipped what
you really have to worry about is Indians attacking the town! It was an attempt at good-natured
satire and gentle mockery of the ignorance
folks on the coasts have of Kansas, not vindictive and racist hatefulness. Besides, if you mock
someone from California for any reason, youre
almost always in the right anyway.
Not that historical facts matter to the Kansas
victim class, but we might hesitate to be so
quick to lock arms with modern habitually-oppressed Native Americans and their sympathizers who are so emotionally shattered by
Watsons quip.
Actual Indian attacks did indeed occur and
are well documented. The slaughter and mutilation of settlers, women and children, not to
mention the killing of opposing federal soldiers
in the latter 1800s war for territory did in fact
happen The Dakota War of 1862; the Bloody
Point Massacre in Oregon; the atrocities committed by Lakota Chief Red Cloud against both
whites and other native tribes. Traditions of
brutality, rape, castration, decapitation, disembowelment and slave taking in inter-tribal
warfare is also well documented among Native
American tribes, but those facts have been minimized by revisionist historians and an antiwhite culture which would rather sympathize
with Billy Jack movies than objectively analyze
historical facts.

The oil crisis continue to rise. Russia invades.

Rally around Bidens energy disaster?
The Long Island newspaper Newsday is
calling for all Americans to rally around
President Biden in the conflict with Russia. Its
editorial on February 26 states: The undercutting of Biden by Republicans as he actively
navigates armed conflict is shameful. The
nation was stronger when domestic political
squabbling ended at the waters edge.
Squabbling?
As a liberal paper, Newsdays analysis is
to be expected. But whats happening in the
USA and all over the world is far more than
political disagreement. What we have here
is a weak leader of the free world up against
strong totalitarian killers in Russia, China
and Iran.
In Ukraine, it is not really the Russian
army against an independent country. It is
Putin vs. Biden, mano-a-mano.
While Newsday and other media that favor
the Democrats look away from reality, wise
Americans should not. We the people, elected
a weak man to lead us. Lets admit it. And now
the country and the world are suffering.
Putins Hitler imitation was not caused by
Joe Biden, but he enabled it by attacking the
American energy industry, thereby giving the
evil Russian dictator billions in cash. While
Biden was surrendering to the climate change

warriors, Putin supplied oil and coal to the
world – most notably to NATO allies.
So, are we supposed to ignore this colossal
mistake made by President Biden pretty much
all by himself? And even after the unforced
error, Biden still refuses to ramp up American
energy production!
What say you, Newsday?
Joe Biden will likely go down in history
alongside disastrous presidents like James
Buchanan and Herbert Hoover. Buchanan did
absolutely nothing to stop the gathering Civil
War in the late 1850s, even allowing secession-
ists to loot federal arsenals, reminiscent of
Biden-Afghanistan.
Hoover didnt cause the Great Depression
( just as Biden didnt cause Ukraine), but he
sat there denying federal relief to starving
Americans for two exceedingly painful years!
What Buchanan, Hoover, and Biden all
have in common is failure to govern from
strength. Thats a fact. Should Americans
ignore that fact at the waters edge?
It is true that some partisans will hammer
the other side no matter what the circumstance, and that is destructive to our Republic.
But in order to stop destructive policies like
open borders, rampant inflation, erosion of
criminal justice, you cant just rally behind
the guy whos responsible – even if Biden is
trying to contain the homicidal Putin.
As a concerned citizen of the world, I want
Biden and NATO to crush Russia. But I also
want to banish weak leadership going forward. Biden is the poster guy for policy failure.
Rallying around that would be madness.

BLM is a political, moral and policy disaster
The Democratic party is finally realizing
its vulnerability on culture issues, and perhaps no group better exemplifies the problem
than Black Lives Matter.
The groups eponymous slogan swept all
before it in recent years. It was repeated by
Democrats around the country. Corporate
leaders paid obeisance to it. Sports leagues
displayed it. Such was its totemic power that
a more inclusive version of the three words -all lives matter — was considered a dangerous
heresy.
The BLM agenda on criminal justice -based on the idea fewer criminals should
be arrested and held in jail — took hold in
blue jurisdictions, and the slogan defund the
police got traction despite its utter impracticality and obvious political destructiveness.
Now, its obvious how shortsighted and foolhardy all this was. The rise in violent crime is
a clear and present danger to the Democratic
majorities in the House and Senate, and progressive prosecutors allied with BLM who
have pursued soft on crimes policies in the
midst of a crime wave are under fire, facing
either recalls or heavy criticism.
BLM the group is continuing to find ways
to underline its own extremism as it withers
under scrutiny for its dodgy finances.
If a right-wing purveyor of internet misinformation wanted to discredit BLM and
its allies, he couldnt do much better than
concoct a story where a disturbed activist
attempts to shoot and kill a local politician
and immediately gets bailed out by his BLM
NATIONAL COMMENTARY

brethren spouting cliched attacks on the criminal justice system.
Its what happened in Louisville, Kentucky,
though. After 21-year-old Quintez Brown
allegedly shot at — and missed — mayoral
candidate Craig Greenberg, the BLM chapter
in Louisville quickly posted his $100,000 bail.
From attempted murder to walking free a couple of days later is quite the turnaround.
The BLM organizer in Louisville, Chanelle
Helm, explained it was necessary to bail out
Brown because: They are calling for this
individual, this young man who needs support and help, to be punished to the full extent.
It is a resounding message that people are
down for the torture that has taken place in
our jails and prisons.
Everyone agrees that Brown has mental
health problems and needs treatment, but
given the violent act hes accused of, common
sense dictates that he receives it while confined.
I n the wake of George Floyds death, BLMs
radicalism was very good business. The
groups co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, said the
other day that the money raised itself, as practically every entity in America that wanted to
bolster its social justice credentials tried to
buy its way into BLMs good graces. People
have to know we didnt go out and solicit the
money, Cullors explained. This is money
that came from white guilt, white corporation
guilt, and they just poured money in.
If that sounds a tad defensive, its because
BLM raised $90 million in 2020 and its
unclear who has stewardship of the funds
or how theyre being spent. BLM has gone
from a sainted group to one thats on the
run. California and Washington have ordered
BLM to stop fundraising in those states and,
in a telling symbolic blow, impeccably woke
Amazon has kicked BLM off its charity platform, AmazonSmile.
Cullors has the explanation that youd
except for the new focus on BLMs lack of
financial controls — anti-Black racism. Yes,
good accounting is racist, now.
Democrats wonder how they can blunt
GOP attacks on culture issues and believe
that if they explain their positions better,
theyll be fine. But the party is positioned so
far left that it needs bold gestures. If it wanted
to send an unmistakable signal of change, it

No more Adidas for me. Really, a commercial

What about all the straight girls that bought
your shoes and products and now have to wonder if theyll be knocked out of a scholarship
or the Olympics or whatever accolades theyve
earned by a boy who pretends to be a girl? Ive
bought my last pair, thank you.
I hope the people in the country that are always
looking forward to taking our guns away from
us are paying attention to the situation in the
Ukraine. When it comes time that you need
them, you cant find enough hands to put them
in to defend your country and your way of life.
If you think it could never happen here youre
mistaken. How much better of a chance have
you got of being murdered in Chicago or New
York now since none of the prosecutors will
prosecute anybody? Its happening right here in
your own country right now. Nobodys taking
my guns, you can bet on that. Thank you.
Just a note to draw a little attention to the fire
fighters who endured the bitter cold and the
terrible conditions at the fire in Garnett. A terrible situation and a terrible job to have to do in
that kind of weather. We are very lucky to have
young men and women who care enough about
their neighbors and our community to do such a
nasty job. Please publish this. Thank you.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 1, 2022
LOCAL
Degrees of Separation
Jackie Mundt, Pratt County
farmer and rancher
History often repeats itself.
This phrase used to seem like a
cautionary warning but the last
two years have transformed
it to have a feeling more like
a judgmental, I told you so.
Events I had only read about
in history books like a global
pandemic, racial unrest as part
of the fight for civil rights and
the start of war in Europe are
actually happening.
Bad things happen in the
world every day but this has
felt heavier and closer.
Six degrees of separation is
a theory that any two people on
earth can be connected to each
other through the network connections of six or fewer people.
This theory has been around
since the 1920s and has shown
up in pop culture as the subject
of plays, movies and even a
game featuring Kevin Bacon as
the speculated most connected
person in the entertainment
industry.
I have often thought that
in the agriculture community
we could cut the number of
degrees in half. Maybe we are
friendlier or there are just less
of us, but I could give example
after example of how small our
world is and the interesting
places I have meet people with
whom I share a first or second
social connection.
For example, less than six
months ago, I was traveling
with Kansas Farm Bureaus
Casten Fellows program, learning about how farmers in the
Baltic states have worked to
build their businesses, infrastructure and knowledge over
the last three decades after
gaining independence from
Russian occupation.
Farmers we met on that trip
have close family and friends
who are in Ukraine and willing to fight for their freedom.
Thats two degrees of separa-
tion for me.
All of the people we met in
the Baltics, who are thriving
under their own sovereignty, know they will be a future
target if the Ukraine falls to
Russia. Then it would be just
one degree of separation.
That is why it feels so close.
People I know or that know my
connections are fighting a war.
Not because they volunteered
to help, but because invaders
burst into their homes trying
to rob them of their independence.
Power, greed, hatred, disagreement and control are
some of the most unfortunate
motivators within human
nature because they lead to separation, struggle and conflict.
War is a dreadful and often
repeated reality brought about
by these motivators.
With war just a degree or
two away, the struggles and
conflicts of our everyday lives
seem to lessen a little in light of
all the things we already have
and the ways we universally
alike.
We all want to be safe,
healthy, connected. War does
none of these things but making new connections, sharing
our lives and being good to
each other reduces our degrees
of separation and brings us all
closer together.
The world gets smaller and
better with every connection
we make. Hold your loved ones
closer, reach out to friends and
strangers to connect to the
world around you, and continue to pray for the families in
Ukraine and their connections
all over the world.

Senior Center pitch
results for Feb. 24th
Seven enthusiastic seniors
met at the Senior Center
February 24th for 10 games of
13 point pitch. Although the
weather was cold, we soon
warmed up and had an enjoyable evening. These are the
winners of those games; Don
Smith took high with 8 out of 10
games won, Ray Wards had the
fewest wins; Betty Lybarger
won the 50/50 and Martha
Beachy had the most perfect

USDA commits $215 million to enhance the American food supply chain
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 2022
U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack
today announced that USDA
is making available up to $215
million in grants and other
support to expand meat and
poultry processing options,
strengthen the food supply
chain, and create jobs and economic opportunities in rural
areas. Todays funding opportunity, announced on the oneyear anniversary of President
Bidens Executive Order 14017
Americas Supply Chains, is
one of many actions that USDA
is taking to expand processing
capacity and increase competition in meat and poultry processing to make agricultural
markets more accessible, fair,
competitive, and resilient for
American farmers and ranchers.
For too long, ranchers and
processors have seen the value
and the opportunities they
work so hard to create move
away from the rural communities where they live and operate, Vilsack said. Under the
leadership of President Biden
and Vice President Harris,
USDA is committed to making
investments to support economic systems where the wealth
created in rural areas stays in
rural areas. The funding were
announcing today ultimately will help us give farmers
and ranchers a fair shake and
strengthen supply chains while
developing options to deliver
food produced closer to home
for families.
USDA Rural Development
will make $150 million available in grants to fund startup and expansion activities in the meat and poultry
processing sector. USDAs
National Institute of Food and
Agriculture (NIFA) will provide another $40 million for
workforce development and
training, and the Agricultural
Marketing Service (AMS) will
provide $25 million to offer
technical assistance to grant
applicants and others seeking
resources related to meat and
poultry processing. These new
opportunities are part of the
Biden-Harris Administrations
historic commitment to fight
monopolization and promote
competition across the economy. They are also aligned with
USDAs vision of a food system that supports health and
ensures producers receive a
fair share of the food dollar
while advancing equity and
combating the climate crisis.
Meat and Poultry Processing
Expansion Program
USDA Rural Development
is making $150 million of
American Rescue Plan Act
funding available through the
Meat and Poultry Processing
Expansion Program (MPPEP).
USDA is offering grants of up
to $25 million each to expand
processing capacity through a
variety of activities, including
but not limited to construction,
expansion of existing facilities,
and acquisition of equipment.
USDA encourages applications that benefit smaller
farms and ranches, new and
beginning farmers and ranchers, Tribes and tribal producers, socially disadvantaged
producers, military veteran
producers, and underserved
communities.
USDA will host two informational webinars to provide
information on MPPEP. The
first, Feb. 28 at 2 p.m. Eastern
Time, will provide an overview
of the program. The second,
March 7 at 2 p.m. Eastern
Time, will cover application
requirements. Registration
information for the webinars
is available on the MPPEP website.
For additional information,
applicants and other interested parties are encouraged to
visit the MPPEP website: www.
rd.usda.gov/mppep. Questions
may be submitted through the
website or sent to MPPEP@
usda.gov.
All application materials
can be found at www.rd.usda.
gov/mppep or at www.grants.
gov. Applications must be
received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern
Time on April 11, 2022, through
www.grants.gov.
Meat and Poultry Processing
Workforce Development
USDAs National Institute of
Food and Agriculture (NIFA)
will invest an additional $40
million through existing workforce development programs
to provide a pipeline of welltrained workers to meet the
demand for both current processors and increased independent processing capacity. The
primary investment will be
through competitive grants to
support workforce training at
community, junior and technical colleges with programs
specifically for meat and poultry processing. A Request
for Applications will be published in April 2022. Additional
investments will leverage
existing regional USDA education and Extension networks
and establish new, or supplement select existing, Centers of
Excellence at Minority-serving
Institutions focused on meat
and poultry research, education and training. Each of
these investments is designed
to deliver needed support more
quickly. Additional investments, either through the same
or new programs and partnerships, are expected later this
year. To sign up for notifications of these and other NIFA
funding opportunities, visit the
NIFA website.
USDA expects to continue
working with the Department
of Labor to support and encourage the development of good
jobs in the agricultural sector,
including jobs in meat and
poultry processing.
Meat and Poultry Processing
Technical Assistance
USDA also is helping to
ensure that entities proposing independent meat and
poultry processing projects
through the Meat and Poultry
Processing Expansion Program
(MPPEP) have full service
technical assistance support
from application through postaward. USDAs Agricultural
Marketing Service (AMS) will
provide approximately $25 million in American Rescue Plan
funding to establish partnerships with organizations that
will provide technical assistance to MPPEP applicants,
recent recipients and future
applicants of the Meat and
Poultry Inspection Readiness
Grant program, and to entities who require general guidance and resources on meat
and poultry processing. Of the
$25 million, AMS will utilize
$10 million to implement the
first phase of support by establishing an initial technical
assistance network and lead
coordinator. More information
about the technical assistance
is available at the Meat and
Poultry Supply Chain website.
USDAs one-year supply
chain report, also published
today, assesses the opportunities, including todays significant investment in the meat
and poultry sector, that USDA,
other Federal agencies and
Congress have made over the
long-term to infuse stability,
improve equity, diversify and
expand infrastructure and
markets, and transform the
food system.
Biden-Harris
Administration Commitment
to Supporting American
Farmers and Ranchers
This funding announcement follows the Biden-Harris
Administrations September
2021 announcement about the
steps it is taking to address
concentration in the meat-processing industry and the
January 2022 announcement
about an Action Plan for a
Fairer, More Competitive,
and More Resilient Meat and
Poultry Supply Chain. It also
follows USDAs December 2021
announcement of $100 million
for guaranteed loans on top of
the previously announced $500
million investment to expand
meat and poultry processing
capacity. See all recent actions
taken to support the American
food supply chain on www.
usda.gov/meat.
As Co-Chair of the BidenHarris
Administrations
Supply Chain Disruptions Task
Force, Secretary Vilsack and
USDA have brought together
industry, labor and federal partners to address the short-term
supply chain disruptions arising from the Administrations
strong economic recovery.
This is one of several key steps
that USDA is taking to build
a more resilient supply chain
and better food system and to
increase competition in agri-
tion, promoting competition
and fairer markets for all producers, ensuring access to safe,
healthy and nutritious food
in all communities, building
new markets and streams of
income for farmers and producers using climate-smart
food and forestry practices,
making historic investments
in infrastructure and clean
energy capabilities in rural
America, and committing to
equity across the Department
by removing systemic barriers
and building a workforce more
representative of America. To

Knowing your competitor

Lots of small businesses
dont give their competition
enough credit. Whether its
denial, jealousy or flat out
ignorance, some of us never
consider the pluses our competitors have that keeps them
in business and in the end
helps them gain and retain
customers that could be doing
business with us.
When customers are looking
for us to solve their problem
(which is why theyre doing
business with us in the first
place) they have a couple of
defined criteria by which
theyll make the selection.
These are the things relating to our product or service
which are the most important
to them. It may be price; it
may be convenience; it may be
trust in a referral they got from
a friend; it may be approachability or speed or even our
location on their regular route
of travel. Whatever it is, these
are the make or break criteria by which they award their
business to someone.
So we need to commit to an
assessment of what our defined
advantages are, and make
those central to our marketing
efforts. Are we the fastest? Are
we the cheapest? Do we have
the most experience? What

is our competitors defined
advantage, and how does he/
she use it to market his/her
company?
As you define and assess
your advantages, you have
to do a realistic comparison
against your competitor. If hes
faster, should you adapt to try
to be faster, or should you focus
on your own defined advantage
and forget trying to compete
for speed? Your analysis has
to determine 1) how close you
are to becoming fastest; 2) how
practical it is to try to convince
your customers youre fastest;
and 3) how important speed is
to your customers in the first
place.
Align your defined advantages with the wants and needs
of your customers and market that message to them, and
youll definitely sell stuff!

Bulldog wrestlers bow out early at state
SALINA It doesn't take away
from what Anderson County
Bulldog wrestlers AJ Schaffer
(126) and Masten Wright (138)
accomplished this season as
both wrestlers state tournament bids were short lived.
Schaffer (34-12) lost to Collin
McDaniel of Scott Community
in the opening round by fall
(3:14). Schaffer downed Archer
Willis (31-6) of Atchison in the
in Round 1 of the consolation
bracket. Schaffer's day came to
an end with a loss by decision
(3-2) to Cooper Wuthnow (32-13)
of Abilene.
Unfortunately Wright's day
only lasted two matches. First
was a loss by fall (0:53) to Owen
Eck (31-2) of Andale and then
the second match was by fall
(2:12) again to Quinton Nelson
(29-12) of Royal Valley.
Viking grappler winless at state
HAYS With the odds stacked
against him, Jotham Meyer (1015) battled hard as the underdog but despite his efforts he
lost both fights to end his state
appearance early.
Chase Johnson (33-1) of
Minneapolis downed Meyer by
fall (2:29) in the opening round
and it was Erik Garcia's (254) of Cimarron turn to do the
same in the second round as he
defeated Meyer by fall (1:46).
Johnson went on to win the
championship and Garcia finished in third.

ing to the warrant because of
an alleged previous relationship with Kimball. Maxwell
said Emerson had every motivation to be untruthful about
a prior relationship with
Kimball because scrutiny of
the warrant was about the only
asset for the defense, considering Emerson had admitted his
drug distribution activities to
investigating officers.
Defense witness Amanda
Holloman however told the
court she had seen Kimball
briefly on two occasions at
Emersons home a number
of years ago when she was
involved in community theater
with Emerson. Holloman, who
described herself as a friend
of Emersons, at one point
during questioning by defense
attorney Jess Hoeme mouthed
something silently toward the
defendant.
What did you just mouth
to the defendant?, Maxwell
asked.
Sorry, Holloman said.
Because I used the word conjecture. I feel like Im very
nervous. Ive never done this
before.
I kind of question why
she would be sorry about anything, Godderz said later in
summing up Hollomans testimony in prefacing his ruling.
Hoene
answered
that
Holloman apologized because
she had anxiety about testifying.
I wonder if thats exactly
what it is, Godderz said.
Later in a summation of
the testimony and evidence,
Godderz ruled there was no
corroborating evidence or testimony to prove Emersons
claims.
The court does not believe
the claims of Mr. Emerson
regarding a relationship with
Judge Kimball are credible,
Godderz said. The evidence
just isnt there.
The case was set for a follow up Zoom hearing to hear
motions on June 7, with trial
set to begin August 29.

FROM PAGE 1
of per sonal relationship with
Emerson, said he had never
been to Emersons home at
which the warrant was served
and said he only knew Emerson
through the defendants association with the local community
theater group.
Emerson told the court he
advised officers both on the
day the warrant was served
and a week later that the signature on the warrant could be a
problem since he had a previous relationship with Kimball.
But investigating officer Todd
Turner testified that a search
of Emersons cell phone, which
yielded other evidence in the
case, did not include contacts
for Kimball, nor did it show
any previous calls or texts to or
from Kimball.
Special prosecutor Stephen
Maxwell noted during questioning of both Turner and
Emerson that none of the investigation records either written
or audio recordings included
references to Emerson object-
Colony Christian Church Trust in God: Isaac
Bruce Symes gave the
Communion
Meditation,
"Movers and Shakers". Our
family, church and jobs are
important to us, and they
depend on us. This can bring
lots of pressure and keeps us
extra busy. Our to-do list piles
up, distracts us and demands
more of our life. The daily news
discourages and divides people,
and the advertisements tell us
our lives are incomplete. All of
this can become overwhelming
and our spiritual life may struggle. We can feel more guilt than
joy. We have sins to fight, areas
where we fail, enduring trials,
burdens we carry… searching
for wisdom. In once sense, this
is normal, but makes us weary.
The Bible tells us that God will
give us rest, and will restore
our soul. He defeated evil and
has good plans for us. Let's rest
in him. (Ref: Matthew 11:28-30;
John 16:33; 1 Peter 5:7)
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon, "Trust in God:
Isaac". Isaac is the first of many
descendants through which
the world would be blessed.
Abraham is an example that
shows us we cannot obtain the
promise through our flesh.
Only by a miracle from God,
were Abraham and Sarah able
to have Isaac. When Isaac was
going to bestow the blessings
of the first born son to Esau,
Rachel and Jacob thwarted his
plans and the blessings went to
Jacob instead. This tells us that
we cannot obtain the promise
by entitlement, tradition, or
cultural norms. The promise
rests solely on God's sovereign
power and his faithfulness.
Rachel and Jacob thought
they were "stealing" the blessing from Esau, but God had
already foretold that the younger son would rule over the
older son. And just like Sarah,
they thought God needed their
"help" to make this come about.
Jacob and Esau can represent
our own struggle between
flesh and spirit. Esau craved
instant gratification and flippantly traded his birthright.
Jacob understood the importance of the birthright and the
blessing. We are born with a
sin nature while having eternity set in our hearts. But you
can't deceive God into giving
you salvation. Our only hope
is the promise that God has
given us. We must be reborn
through faith in Jesus in order
to inherit the blessing that was

Lancer boys win sub-state opener
The #4 seed Crest Lancers (10-7)
had their hands full in the first
round of substate last week as
they edged out #5 Marmaton

Marmaton Valley 11-10 in the
third quarter to take a slim
33-32 lead heading into the final

There are also a lot of global challenges and uncertainty.
We all know these have been
unprecedented times with lots
of uncertainty throughout the
global economy and markets.
She said the U.S. had
record exports at over $175 billion, when we think about the
ag trade forecast for the fiscal
year 2022. We also have imports
at $165 billion.
Countryman emphasized
two key drivers for this
increase in ag trade over the
past two yearsincreased
trade with China as a result of
the Phase One trade deal and
a weakened U.S. dollar during
the first part of that timeframe.
Weve had increased
exports of oilseeds and also
across meat product categories, she said.
Between 2020 and 2021, we
had a weakened U.S. dollar,
and there were a lot of reasons
for this when we think about
the tremendous fiscal stimulus that occurred, which went
hand in hand with increased
public debt and the budget
deficit as well as low interest
rates and quantitative easing.
Those were key drivers of that
weakened dollar that helped to
boost trade in that 2020-2021
timeframe.
The dollar strengthened
beginning
last
summer,
Countryman noted.
While we have this Phase
One trade deal, theres still a
lot that remains to be accomplished to improve U.S.-China
trade relations.
Much of the focus of the
trade deal has been on commitments by China to purchase U.S. goods and services.
Countryman said the commitment was for more than
$200 billion over two years,
above 2017 levels. We had purchase commitments by China
to purchase U.S. agriculture,
manufacturing, energy and services.
China also agreed to reductions in food safety non-tariff
measures, improved foreign
investment measures, intellectual property protections and
currency commitments.
China did not fulfill its Phase
One import commitments by
the trade deals Dec. 31, 2021,
deadline.
Countryman provided additional context. The Phase One
trade deal really set the stage
for unprecedented exports to
China across agricultural commodities, she said.
We still have substantial,
noteworthy tariffs in place on
U.S. exports to China.
She noted that agriculture
fared better relative to manufacturing and energy in meeting targets for the sale of goods
to China. Based on Chinese
import data, Countryman said
agriculture was at 76% of the
target as of October 2021, manufacturing was at 61% and energy was at 48%.
She also offered agricultural
highlights of the U.S.-MexicoCanada Agreement (formerly the North American Free
Trade Agreement), including
modest improvements in market access for U.S. dairy and
wheat into Canada. I think
theres a lot of additional room
for expansion in those spaces,
but at least its a small start relative to where we were under
the original NAFTA agreement, she said.
Modernization is also an
important part of the new
agreement, including intellectual property protections
important to biotechnology
and agriculture.
She addressed the lost market access of U.S. agriculture
into Japan with the U.S. withdrawal from the Trans Pacific
Partnership. However, many of
the market access gains from
the TPP were regained under
the mini Japan-U.S. trade
agreement that replaced it,
Countryman said.
The U.S. is not a member
of the Comprehensive and
Progressive Agreement for
Trans-Pacific Partnership or
the Regional Comprehensive
Economic Partnership, so
the U.S. is lagging where
others are moving forward.
She said there is potential
for increased market access
if a Transatlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership deal is
made between the U.S. and EU.
However, EU restrictions on
conventional U.S. production
practices, biotechnology and
pesticides are an issue.
I do want to highlight
among some very challenging
prospects in the coming year,
agriculture is faring well relative to others. The past two
years have been tremendous
for U.S. agriculture when we
think about exports and global markets, Countryman
concluded. I think there are
tremendous opportunities for
innovation, as there is a continued focus on sustainability
and regenerative agriculture.
Agriculture is innovative, and
I think theres a lot of opportunity there.
Ag market themes for 2022
Basse provided an overview
of agricultural market themes
for 2022. First, he sees a new
commodity super cycle lasting
for two or three years.
Energy will be the upside
leader. This transformation
from fossil fuels to green fuels
to, ultimately, electrical power
or nuclear power is a bumpy
road, Basse said, so the price
of crude oil, ethanol and biodiesel will keep underpinning
agricultural markets.
Basse, a commodity analyst,
said President Joe Biden sees
himself as a champion for biofuel, which is a stepping-stone
toward meeting his goal of
20% vehicle electrification by
2030. This push for biofuels is
endemic. Its going to continue, he said.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture sees farmers as
part of the carbon answer, and
efforts to develop a system for
paying them to sequester carbon will continue.
Two new U.S. ag demand
driversChinese corn imports,
mainly from the U.S. and
Ukraine, and U.S. renewable
dieselwill raise farm profits
and pull an additional 15 million to 20 million crop acres
into production by 2025.
As we look at agriculture
over the last 80 years, these
demand drivers are so important to the profitability of our
farmers. We think back to the
reconstruction effort after
World War II or the Russians
coming with their gold bars
in the 1970s to buy U.S. grain.
These were demand drivers
that really lifted the fortunes
and profitability of U.S. farmers, he said.
These are things that will
dramatically alter the U.S.
landscape going forward.
Basse said U.S. beef and
dairy herd liquidation sets up
a bullish outlook for beef and
dairy in 2022. He also expects
beef and dairy prices to rise to
record levels by 2023. Drought
and decreased hay acreage in
the U.S. will increase forage
prices.
U.S. farmland and farm
incomes continue to increase
and are expected to rise into
2023 or 2024, when the next farm
bill will be passed. Basse said
he sees a dynamic and volatile
market ahead for many agricultural sectors, with weather
only amplifying the need for
demand rationing. For now its
a shining of the raw material
markets.
Basse said inflation has
soared to its highest rate in 40
years, which also affects commodities.
He also discussed concerns
about reaching peak U.S.
farmland. Basse said that in
recent years we have been
stealing land from hay and
CRP (Conservation Reserve
Program) to get more principal crop acres. Secretary of

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 1, 2022
LOCAL
Agriculture Tom Vilsack and
the Biden administration want
to increase CRP acreage by
3 million to 5 million acres,
Basse said. Hay acres are now
at their lowest levels since 1909.
Reaching peak farmland would
have a tremendous effect on
U.S. agriculture.
Policy priorities
Countryman said continuing to focus on China should
be a priority in 2022. There
are still a lot of really important policy aspects that were
not addressed in Phase One
that need to be continually discussed. I think theyre incredibly challenging. Again, these
are domestic policy issues
and challenges related to the
Chinese economy and the way
it functions that are going to be
very difficult to tackle. With
the expiration of the Phase One
deal, she said several matters
are still left undone that will
affect our ability to move forward with China.
The most important, No.
1 priority in the coming year
from a trade policy perspective
should be China, Countryman
said.
She also said the U.S. should
not minimize the influence the
EU has globally with regard
to the constraints they put on
products available for trade
and that they impose on countries they have trade deals
with.
Doud was one of the primary architects of the Phase One
China Trade Deal.
Considering that China fell
short of meeting its commitments by $16 billion, did the
Phase One trade deal matter?
Douds answer is yes. The
Trade One deal addressed 57
structural components in our
trading relationship between
the U.S. and China in agriculture, and most of those have
been fixed entirely, Doud said.
He noted the deal also resulted
in an increase in the number
of facilities and products in the
U.S. that are eligible to export
to China.
Weve taken 1,500 facilities
to well over 4,000 facilities in
the U.S. that are eligible to
export agricultural products
to China, and that has made
a huge impact in our access
into the Chinese market. Thats
something Im very proud of,
Doud said.
As discussions continue for
further agreements, he said
bilateral trade negotiation
requires Trade Promotion
Authority, which expired last
July and was last reauthorized
in 2015.
The first step is to get
Congress to re-approve that.
Thats something I think everybody in agriculture ought to be
emphasizing because without
it, youre dead in the water.
