Former local foster childs
rape, murder solved after

Missouri authorities

Three years after completion, Anderson County Veterans Memorial still doesnt work
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The Anderson County
Veterans Memorial project which took
10 years to come to fruition and nearly
a half million dollars in private fundraising and county property tax money
still isnt working, and the local VFW
and American Legion chapters want to
know why.
County commissioners say the
endeavor to recognize the countys veterans has become a fiasco, and theyre
considering a lawsuit against the New
Hampshire company they say never
held up their end of the $60,000 deal.
In a statement last week to the
Anderson County Review, the local veterans groups say the continued lack
of function by the computer systems
which should operate in the memorials
turret kiosks have been a near continual failure in honoring the names of the
Anderson County veterans who were
the point of the entire memorial to begin
with.
In its present state, it may be an
esthetically pleasing structure that
shows the seals of the five branches of
the U. S. Military, said the statement
Man pleads to 8
counts of child porn
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The local man
facing eight revised charges
of possession of child pornography in a plea bargain that
dropped 10 previous counts
pleaded guilty to all charges
last week and will await an
April sentencing date.
Thirty-five year-old Evan
Ladewig pled guilty to each of
the 8 of the original 18 charges,
each involving the possession
and transfer of explicit photos
of prepubescent girls involved
in sex acts with adult men
which he loaded to a cloudbased data service in last May.
The service, Synchronoss

signed by Vietnam veteran Clarence
Hermann, who presently serves as
commander of both VFW Post 6397 and
American Legion Post 48 in Garnett,
but it does nothing to honor the individual veterans from Anderson County,
Kansas.
While the kiosks that should display
the countys veterans from our nations
conflicts operated intermittently for a
short time after the dedication, they do
not operate today and have not for several years, the joint statement read.
The status of the memorial seems to
continue a pattern of struggle which
dates back to the initial effort to construct
a tribute to the Countys veterans that
began in 2011. County Commissioners
instituted a property tax mill levy in
the county budget shortly after the organizational committees inception, and
discontinued that fund in 2020 after it
had raised nearly a half million dollars
in local property taxes to pay for the
project. Local donations were accepted
as well, allowing inscribed memorial
brings to be purchased for the plaza
walkway for $100 a piece.
But even at that time of its unveiling,
the project was not 100% functional.
The memorial committee built a consensus that the project would feature computerized view screens on kiosks with
information, photos and even videos of
some 5,000 veterans included in its database. That database could be updated
periodically, unlike granite slabs etched
with names of honorees as is typical in
memorials that predated the technology. But that technology, the bill for
which is now fully paid and the warranty expired, never worked or at least it
didnt work for long.
The Concord, New Hampshire-based
company, Advanced Kiosks, as of press
time Monday had not returned the
Reviews emails and phone calls seeking
comment. Anderson County Clerk Julie
Wettstein said there were several problems with the kiosks.
Weve had issues with the IR frames
(the touch sensor) not lining up correctly and having to replace it, Wettstein
said. Advantage Computer has been
doing the technical work on them. At
this time the fans in the kiosks are not

PINEVILLE, Mo. Sheriff's
department investigators in
McDonald County, Mo., and
specialists with the Missouri
State Highway Patrol believe
they have solved the 34-yearold rape and murder case of a
woman who was formerly in
foster care in Garnett.
Shauna Harvey, born
Shauna Garber in 1968, would
have been in local care sometime in the mid-1970s to mid1980s according to reports,
though Kansas Department
of Children and Families did
not immediately return the
Reviews requests for information about her.
Harvey's at the time unidentifiable remains were discovered about two months after
McDonald County investigators say she was hogtied with a
mish-mash of bindings, raped,
then murdered by a forced
overdose of methamphetamine
her body left behind an abandoned farmhouse in rural

25% of local Dems taking part
pick none of names shown
Less than 11% of local
GOP, Democrats bother
in presidential primary
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT With major party
candidates already confirmed
no one expected any surprises
out of last week's presidential
preference primary election
in Kansas. With less than 11
percent of either party turning
out to vote, the election probably revealed more about the
mood of the electorate than it
did about the race.
A preliminary vote count
from the Anderson County
Clerk's Office showed only
339 major party members
showed up for the vote,
about 9 percent of the 940
total registered Democrats
and 2,946 Republicans registered in the county. About
78% of the Tuesday turnout
was Republicans and 22%
Democrats.
About 29 percent of
Anderson County voters (1,615)
are unaffiliated, with 60 registered Libertarians.
On the Republican side
230 of the 264 GOP members
voted for Donald Trump in the
primary, 19 for Nikki Haley,
6 for Rhonda DeSantis, 0 for
Ryan Binkley and 9 voted the
box designated as none of the
names shown.
On the Democrat side the 75
voters polled included 49 votes
for president Joe Biden, four
votes for Jason Palmer, 2 votes
for Dean Phillips and a single
vote for Mary Ann Williamson.
Nineteen county Democrats,
reflecting 25% of the total party
turnout, voted for none of the
names shown.
Statewide the Democrats
who showed up to vote their
preference were solidly behind
president Biden, picked up
some 84% of the Kansas party
turnout of a little over 42,000.
That number reflects 8 percent

Gas prices still high, but Davids joins
Democrats to support Biden energy policies

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW

drivers have seen

year, a handful

Republicans for

Administration
energy policies
they say have needlessly inflated
prices and depleted family incomes
but Kansas Second District congresswoman Sharice Davids was
not among them.
With a gallon of gasoline bump-
ing $3.53 nationwide and $3.17 on
average last week in the Sunflower
State according to Kansas AAA,
four Democrats broke ranks with
their party in the House vote and
joined Republicans in a congressional resolution condemning Biden
energy policies they say have led to
curtailed U.S. domestic oil production, higher gasoline prices in the
U.S. and higher petroleum prices
on the world market. Dropping U.S.
production, critics maintain, has
raised worldwide oil prices and
aided Russian President Vladimir
Putin's funding of his invasion of
Ukraine.

Democrats against the 217 supporters of the resolution, effecSEE DAVIDS ON PAGE 7

Example for the Last Days

Communion meditation was
given by Darren McGhee in
regards to Passion Sunday.
Jesus rode on a donkey right
before He was born into this
world. And again He rode a
donkey on Palm Sunday right
before He was to leave this
world. Every donkey has the
dark pattern of a cross on its
back-the symbol of God's love
for us.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon titled "An Example
for the Last Days" from John
13-15. John 1:29 is so familiar to
us when John the Baptist sees
Jesus and says "Behold, the
Lamb of God, who takes away
the sin of the world!" Imagine
hearing it that first time! Christ
gave us an example to follow as
He said "Love others as I have
loved you." And He loved us
enough to die for us.

Lets do difficult!
God tasked certain individuals with difficult assignments
that were seemingly impossible. John the Baptist was chosen to prepare the way for Jesus
ministry. We are told, John
came baptizing in the desert
region preaching a baptism of
repentance for the forgiveness
of sins. I am sure John had
to wonder how is this going
to work? We read the whole
Judean countryside and all the
people of Jerusalem went out
to him. God made it happen
because John didnt back away
from a difficult assignment.
Saul of Tarsus (the apostle
Paul) is another individual
who was given a very large
task. Saul was a member of the
Pharisees, who were part of the
ruling council in Jerusalem.
Saul was one of the more educated Jews of his time a member of the tribe of Benjamin a
legalistic righteous adversary
of Jesus. What did God task
him with, he was Gods chosen
instrument to take Christianity
to The Gentiles, the very people
Saul hated. Pauls assignment
took him clear to Rome where
he proclaimed the gospel to
Caesars household.
Another individual who
had a difficult assignment was
Philip. Philip was proclaiming Christ in Samaria with
great success when God told
3
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
him to leave and go to Gaza.
On his way he met an important official in charge of all the
treasury of Candace, queen of
the Ethiopians. The man was
reading a passage of scripture
from Isaiah 53. The man could
not understand the passage and
Philip was able to explain it to
him and baptize him. From
this the gospel began to move
away from Palestine to other
parts of the world.
All of these men and many
others have answered Gods
call. God may be asking you
to do something you believe is
to difficult for you. Remember
God has never ask anyone to
do anything he hasnt equipped
them for. We are Gods instruments. God has chosen man
to work through to accomplish
his goals. You and I can do difficult things because nothing
can thwart the plans of God. So
lets begin today to do the difficult things God is requiring of
us.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 26, 2024
OPINION
Less college, more education
In Kansas, the pundits who watch such things
are wringing their hands over the State Board
of Regents annual enrollment data report that
shows fewer students are attending Kansas colleges and universities. While it may be bad news
for those university bank accounts, it may also
show how society and the economy work to find
equilibrium.
Total student enrollment at Kansas four-year
universities dropped by 6% over the last 10
years according to the report released last week.
If you add in community college enrollment
declines, that number jumps to a 16% drop over
the decade. Community colleges overall saw the
worst numbers in 2023 with a drop of 30% compared to decade ago figures. The shift appears to
be moving toward technical schools in Kansas,
which saw a 53% enrollment increase over the
decade.
Those tech school figures provide clues that 1)
traditional college costs are too high and 2) that
taking classes which teach a skill that can pay
the bills is more practical than taking classes in
interpretive lesbian dance theory.
As university curriculums have sought to be
more things to more people, skyrocketing costs
have impacted the finances of the prospective
college-bound to the point that some students
find their post collegiate student loan payments
untenable so much so that the current occupant of the White House thinks it would be a
good idea for taxpayers to write a check to at
least some of those former students and get them
out of hock.
Forbes Magazine quotes a Georgetown
University study of four-year college costs
between 1980 and 2020 as having increased 169%,
and those numbers dont include even higher
spikes in recent years. In 1980 the price per
year to attend a four-year college full time In
present day dollars would be a little $10,000
including tuition, room and board and fees. By
the 2019-2020 school year that cost had jumped
to $21,000 a year at a public school, and almost
$49,000 at a private college.
What has become clear is that the inflation
in the cost of college, no doubt powered by easy
availability of federally-backed student loans
and institutions growing some pretty extreme
but palatable curriculum to attract those dollars
(theater arts degree, anyone?) has far exceeded
inflation in the rest of the economy and is utterly
unsustainable.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
The great but sometimes painful thing about
an economy is that, true to its nature, it will figure these things out. When universities expand
curriculums and degree programs into areas
which have little or no economic worth and
drive up prices exponentially year over year to
attain them, natural economic laws will eventually intervene. Indeed recent years have shown
that the U.S. economy and culture is overstaffed
with college degrees, reflecting in underemployment and failure to achieve earning expectations by many college graduates. It turns out
society will almost always pay more and longer
for an electrician or a carpenter or an HVAC guy
than it will a Director of Conflict Resolution.
Another undeniable issue is that so much of
the country at this point resents the social programming infused into the modern college and
university culture and its aim to turn American
college graduates more socially liberal. Its
always been accepted that academic cultures
lean left , but setting up cry rooms and puppy
petting facilities for emotional therapy after the
election of a Republican president seems a little
ridiculous to many parents struggling to put
their kids through college. University management seems utterly tone deaf to the concept that
the value structure of half the country is vastly
contrary to the woke culture university faculty
and management feel obligated to present and
at record prices.
Declining college enrollment in Kansas may
not be an indicator of a disregard for education,
it may be a symptom of a social institution struggling to reconnect with a culture from which it
has strayed. ###

Ten million illegals have flooded across the
open borders with Biden, who now is, at your
expense, also flying in hundreds of thousands
more directly from violent gang-ridden countries. Criminals and terrorists are uncheckable since those countries do not share their
records. This disaster has cost a trillion dollars,
overwhelming hospitals, prisons and welfare.
Property taxes soar with Democrat courts mandating local schools enroll the children of illegals. This is deliberate Democrat open warfare
on this country. Only an ignorant fool would
still vote Democrat.

No more state, federal welfare money for candy, pop
A bill in the Kansas Legislature would bar
use of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP, better known as Food
Stamps) to buy candy and soda pop, which
would require permission from the federal
government.
Its roused something of a furor, since
apparently its insulting to tell people what
they and their children can and cannot buy
with state and federal money. Never mind
that theres strong precedent in that Food
Stamps have never been allowed for liquor,
beer or tobacco, even though both liquor and
beer have more nutritional value than most
soda.
House Bill 2673 was introduced by Rep.
Francis Awerkamp, a St. Marys Republican
who is chair of the House Welfare Reform
Committee. It was hatched and promoted by
Roy Lenardson of Florida, who works for the
Foundation for Government Accountability
and its lobbying arm, known as the
Opportunity Solutions Project, according to
the Topeka Capital-Journal.
Even Lenardson admits that the feds are
unlikely to grant Kansas the waiver required
to implement such a rule change for the
Food Stamps program, however, so why the
Legislature is being asked to consider the bill
is somewhat murky. We guess it makes everyone feel like they are doing something about
welfare reform.
What is nutritious about Coca-Cola,
GUEST COMMENTARY
STEVE HAYNES, Haynes Publishing Co.
Mountain Dew, Cheetos and Twinkies? the
lobbyist asked. And how are sugary drinks
and candy helping solve the issue of food insecurity?
I dont know. But Food-Stamp benefits
should buy milk, not Mountain Dew. Thats
our position.
Wed have to agree. Its not like in the midst
of an obesity epidemic, kids in particular need
state-bought candy or soda. And even diet
soda apparently would be restricted, considering the research showing its almost as bad
for us as the sugary stuff.
Lenardson predicted opposition from the
junk-food lobby, including, Pepsi, FritoLay, Coca-Cola and Little Debbie, (which)
rake in massive profits from taxpayer-funded
Food-Stamp benefits.
Lobbyists did line up to oppose the bill,
including those for business groups, the beverage industry, grocery and convenience
stores, but also from food banks, advocates
for children, community advocates and the
states child-welfare agency.
Under the proposed bill, candy is defined as
a preparation of sugar, honey or other natural and artificial sweeteners in combination
with chocolate, fruits, nuts or other ingredients or flavorings in the form of bars, drops or
pieces, but does not include any preparation
containing flour and shall require no refrigeration.
Soft drinks do not include beverages that
contain milk or milk products, soy, rice or
similar milk substitutes or beverages that
are greater than 50 percent vegetable or fruit
juice.
Lobbyist Jon McCormick of the Retail
Grocers Association said his members dont
want to be the food police.
One group opposing the bill was Kansas
Action for Children. Are they saying sugar is
good for kids?
Others complained about the difficulty
of policing sales. A representative of convenience stores said his members might just
stop accepting Food Stamps rather than get

Selling out an ally is whimsical for Schumer, Biden cohorts
The uncommitted voters of Michigan say
Jump, and Chuck Schumer asks How
high?
The Senate majority leader gave an extraordinary speech flaying the democratically
elected leader of an ally engaged in fighting
a defensive war against a hideous terrorist
enemy.
The speech calling on Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to go, along
with increasingly critical statements by the
White House, shows that the Democrats have
decided that appeasing their left-wing base
in an election year is now their top consideration.
This is bad all around. As a matter of basic
decency, this is not something that allies
do to one another, especially not in wartime. Present unvarnished views in private?
Absolutely. Try to nudge a partner toward
a favored policy? Sure. But blast a friendly
government in hopes that it can be toppled
via a new election, just months after suffering
a monstrous attack and as it is still trying to
destroy a terrorist group deeply embedded in
an urban environment? No.
The fact of the matter is that this is not Bibi
Netanyahus war. It is the nation of Israels
war. Netanyahu sustained political damage
after the Oct. 7 attack, but his goal of prosecuting the war against Hamas to its completion
is widely shared in Israel. Immediately after
the attack, Israel formed a government of
national unity that has pursued the war policy that Democrats now find so objectionable.
If Netanyahu were to resign tomorrow, any
number of things might change, but the war
against Hamas would stay the same.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
It is easy, sitting in Washington, D.C., and
worrying about how to placate the anti-Israel
uncommitted voters in the Democratic primary, to forget the shock of the massive pogrom
carried out by Hamas on that infamous day
in October. Israelis, though, arent going to
forget, nor should they.
Its a key tell about Schumers intentions
that his speech engendered a universally negative reaction in Israel, and Schumer — who
is no naif –must have anticipated as much.
Benny Gantz, who would presumably run
against Netanyahu in a future election, harshly rejected the Schumer call for a new government. So, the only place where Schumer could
have any assurance of advancing his cause
was here at home.
What stronger signal could there be that
the Democratic leadership has heard the
activist calls to rein in Israel than the previously staunch supporter of the Jewish state,
Chuck Schumer, unloading on its wartime
government?
Hamas has been getting devastated on the
battlefield, but the turn against Israel among
Democratic officials in the U.S. is a sign of the
success of its longer, deeply cynical strategy.
By doing everything in its power to create the
predicate for more civilian casualties in Gaza,
Hamas hopes to turn international opinion
against Israel. So it has done in one of the two
major American political parties.
If you had told many of the same Democrats
criticizing Israel today that within five months
of the Oct. 7 attack they would be inveighing against Israels war against Hamas, they
would have been incredulous. If you had told
them they would be getting pushed around by
pro-Hamas sentiment in their own party, they
would have rejected the idea as impossible.
If you had told them they would have been
seeking a two-state solution as one of their
highest post-Oct. 7 priorities, they might have
considered it a smear.
Yet here we are.
On top of everything else, this isnt good
domestic politics. There is still majority support for Israel. The anti-Israel turn demonstrates, yet again, that the Biden campaign is
pursuing a base strategy in November. Just
the last couple of days, Kamala Harris visited
an abortion clinic, Joe Biden suggested there
will be no executive action at the border, and
Schumer — having run it by the White House
first — delivered his Philippic.
Whats fidelity to an ally compared to zeal
in pursuit of an embattled presidents election
strategy?
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
The number one job of our government is
protecting its citizens. This is not happening
under the Biden regime. Now they are flying
illegal immigrants into our country using
taxpayer funding. Due to the evil policies
were hearing more horror stories of attacks
on our people, the latest being 15-year-old
Massachusetts girl with disabilities being
raped by a Haitian. Vote this evil destructionist regime out come November.
Trump said hed impose a 100% tariff on
Chinese car factories being built in Mexico,
but if Biden is elected, our domestic auto
industry will suffer a bloodbath. On cue came
the shrill Democrat demonic lie, in this case
that Trump threatened a bloodbath if he
wasnt reelected.
What is the carbon footprint of the 10 million
illegals Biden and the Democrats have flooded
into our country while demanding you drastically lower your standard of living and lower
your carbon footprint as they dismantle our
energy and food infrastructure that soon no
longer can support our existing population?
Once again corrupt Democrat Party fascists
are stealing an election using Democrat kangaroo courts to target Trump in an election
year. In New York the Democrat AG who
campaigned on destroying Trump brought a
phony civil case that experts say every developer would be guilty of. Trump was denied a
jury and the Democrat judge declared guilt
even before the Alice in Wonderland trial
began, then fined Trump more than all his
liquid assets to ensure he cant spend it on his
presidential campaign, while Democrat billionaires pour money into Bidens campaign.
I just wanted to say the way our country is
going right now, the way our administration
is treating us, I was thinking Karl Marx may
be the founder of Communism but God the
Father is the founder of capitalism. We must
hold fast to Gods way as outlined in his word.
As Christians we must continue to seek the
favor of the Lord and pray, especially heading into the most important election year.
Pray that America returns to its roots as a
Christian nation. Thank you.
All the pro abortionists are raising a fuss
again about the legislature wanting to pass
a law outlawing abortion in certain circumstances. I have a riddle for you, which situation gets you in more trouble with the law
in Kansas shooting a deer out of season, or
killing a human being in its mothers womb?
Ill let you all answer this in the Phone Forum
next week. Thank you.

HISTORY
Searched new ranch Lucky 13 4-H Club met in January, February & March
site near Centerville
On Saturday 2 March I drove
over to a 2,000 acre ranch near
Centerville, Ks.
The owner of this ranch had
contacted me several times over
the past couple years to come
over and look at several sites
located on their land. I soon
found out that this area is quite
hilly and some of the side roads
are not even maintained. After
making several ups and downs,
twists and turns I arrived at
a beautiful ranch home, overlooking miles of beautiful scenery and Big Sugar creek.
My very first stop was at
an old abandoned farmstead. I
could spend days there metal
detecting and conducting excavations. After spending about
an hour here, we loaded aboard
a 4-wheeler and headed for
the bottomland in search of
the site of a 1800s cabin site.
Shortly after arriving on the
banks of Big Sugar Creek, we
walked up onto this small ridge
and it wasnt very long until
I found the remains of a laid
rock foundation. This founda-

few leaves, I found this beautiful designed dishware shard.
Ive been told that is a very old

found the lost old cabin site. An

tive DNA match for the body discovered as a half-sibling to Danielle
Pixler of Topeka. Pixar told investigators she had a half sister who
was in the Kansas foster care system, at one time in Garnett, up
until the point she aged out of the
system. Pixler believed her sister
had moved to the Vinita, Okla.,
area before the two lost connection.
Interviews with Harvey's
acquaintances, Pixler and others
in the area revealed she had had a
challenging life, having been born
in a car and at the age of three
set on fire by her mother before
she was placed in foster care in
Kansas. She went into the Kansas
system at the age of 6 along with
her half brother and half sister. A
failed adoption put her back into
the system where she left Kansas
for the Vinita/Claremore area
after she aged out, going to live
with family members of her adopted family, Pixler said.
Law officers say she was 22
years old when they believe she
was picked up on a rural County
Road in Pineville by Talfey Reeves,
a local neer-do-well with a reputation known to both locals and
area law enforcement. Officers
say numerous sources and a wit-
ness pointed to Reeves as a suspect, but none would speak on
the record about the case until
Reeves passed away in a traffic
accident in November of 2021. It
was believed Reeves and Harvey
became acquainted in Noel when
she was being transported to and
from Hudson Foods from her home
in Oklahoma on a work program.
A witness who went on the
record after Reeves death said
Reeves picked her up on the road
and sometime around Halloween
in 1990, and that binding materials
discovered with her remains were
those commonly found in Reeves
truck.

BATON ROUGE, LA -Heather Webber of Colony,
Kansas, was recently initiated
into The Honor Society of Phi
Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest
and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society. Webber was initiated at
Pittsburg State University.
Webber is among approximately 25,000 students, faculty, professional staff and
alumni to be initiated into Phi
Kappa Phi each year. Only the
top 10 percent of seniors and
7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate
students in the top 10 percent
of the number of candidates
for graduate degrees may also
qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who
have achieved scholarly distinction.
Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of undergraduate student
Marcus L. Urann who had a
desire to create a different
kind of honor society: one that
recognized excellence in all
academic disciplines. Today,
the Society has chapters on
more than 325 campuses in the
United States, its territories
and the Philippines. Its mission is "To recognize and promote academic excellence in
all fields of higher education
and to engage the community
of scholars in service to others."

tively asserting their endorsement of Bidens policies. Her
Washington, D.C., office did
not respond to emails from the
Review seeking comment as of
our press deadline on Monday.
The 32-point resolution gave
broad criticism of Bidens
impact on domestic and world
energy markets for fossil fuels,
a system Biden has been quoted as pledging to end in favor
of highly subsidized, highly
expensive renewable sources
like wind and solar. The resolution charged Biden with blocking U.S. mineral development
despite massive increases in
demand, such as plans to block
the export of liquefied natural
gas after the US became a global leader in LNG exports for
the first time in 2023.
The resolution noted an
estimated increase of 37.2% in
overall energy prices in Bidens
first 26 months in office the
largest increase of any of the
last seven presidents. It also
noted numerous other actions
by President Biden designed
to curtail fossil fuel production in the U.S., like adding
extraction restrictions to 13
million acres of the National
Petroleum Reserve in Alaska,
cancellation of the Keystone
XL pipeline on his first day in
office, And implementation of
a 20-year mining moratorium
on 225,000 acres of the Superior
National Forest in northern
Minnesota. The resolution
also charged Biden violated
the mineral leasing act which
requires the department of the
Interior to hold quarterly lease
sales, after he halted all new
oil and natural gas leasing on
federal lands on his first day in
office.
Kansas AAA said prices typically take an upturn in the
spring, but demand for fuel
because of high prices has been
softer this spring than in typical years.
Kansas other three congressmen, Jake LaTurner,
Ron Estes and Tracy Mann,
all supported the resolution.
Davids has typically voted
and locked up with most all
Biden Administration policies,
breaking with the president
only occasionally on more
high-profile political issues.
She faces three Republican
contenders for her office in the
November election who will
seek the Republican nomination in the August primary.
According to Kansas AAAs
weekly report, even with a typical spring last weeks prices
in Kansas were higher than a
year ago.
The national average for a
gallon of gas rose 11 cents since
last week to $3.52, according
to the organizations website.
While domestic gas demand
has been lackluster, rising oil
prices helped push pump prices higher.
Gas prices are a lot like
seasonal temperatures, said
Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. They start to rise with
the arrival of spring. He said
the national average for gas
is now higher than a year ago,
which hasnt been observed
since late December.
According to new data
from the Energy Information
Administration (EIA), gas
demand decreased slightly
from 9.04 to 8.81 million b/d last
week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks dropped by
3.3 million bbl to 230.8 million
bbl. Lower demand would typically contribute to pushing
pump prices lower or slowing
increases, but rising oil prices have pushed them higher instead, the website said.
Fridays national average of
$3.52 is 25 cents more than a
month ago and nine cents more
than a year ago, the report said.

Vikings rally late to win season opener
RICHMOND – It wasnt a thing
of beauty, but the Central
Heights Vikings won their season opener in large part due
to a 5 run 6th inning to down
Uniontown 13-9.
The teams combined for
their 22 runs off of just 15 hits.
The run totals a direct result
of 9 errors, 11 walks and 8 hit
batters.
Uniontown scored twice in
the first but Central Heights
answered with 3 in the bottom
half.
After another run in the
second for Uniontown, the
Vikings scored 5 in the bottom
half to open up an 8-3 lead.
Uniontown chipped away
scoring 1 in the fourth and fifth
inning and 4 in the top half of
the sixth to reclaim the lead
9-8.
Central Heights would plate
5 runs in the bottom half of the
sixth to close out the scoring
on the day.
Starting pitcher Brylan
Sommer went 1 2/3 innings,
allowed 3 hits, 3 earned runs
and struck out 5. Offensively
Sommer added 1 hit, 1 run batted in and scored 3 times.
Vikings sweep Northern Heights
RICHMOND – It was a perfect
3-0 week for the Central Heights
Vikings as they earned a pair
of victories last Thursday over
Nothern Heights at home, only
allowing one hit over the 2
games.
In the first game, Central
Heights tallied a lone run in
the bottom of the third for a 1-0
lead. That lead would hold up
until the top of the sixth when
Northern Heights tied the
score at one but the Vikings
answered in the bottom half of
the inning with 5 runs to take a
6-1 lead en route to a 6-2 win.
Despite allowing 2 runs,
the Vikings no-hit Northern
Heights.
Brylan Sommer pitched the
first 5 innings allowing 0 hits,
0 runs, walked 2 and struck out
9.
The runs came off reliever
Kreig Garrett, who allowed 2
runs, 1 earned run, walked 3
batters and struck out 1 in 2
innings of work.
Carter Kimball and Garrett
each led the offense with 2 hits
on the afternoon.
Laiken Brockus picked up
one hit and had a team high 2
runs batted in.
In the second game, the
Vikings got on the board early
scoring 4 runs in the first.
They would tack on one
more in the fourth and two in
the sixth.
Northern Heights would
pick up their only hit in the
doubleheader with a two out
single in the first inning.
Their lone run in the second game came in the seventh
inning on a two out wild pitch.
Garrett had two hits in the
game, the only Viking to have
a multi-hit game. He also drove
in a pair of runs and scored
once.
Lady Vikings split opening doubleheader
RICHMOND – Central Heights
won the season opener before

rebounded by holding on to
a slim one run lead over the
final 4 innings of game 2 to
earn a split on the road against
Burlington.
The Bulldogs struck first
with one run in the top half
of the second inning but
Burlington would plate 2 runs

Ag census: Kansas by the numbers
Jennifer M. Latzke, Editor, Farm Progress
USDA released the results of the 2022
Census of Agriculture in February, featuring insights into Kansas agriculture
that will be used by the public and private
sectors over the next five years.
The Census of Agriculture has been
conducted every five years since 1840.
Farmers, as defined by Congress, complete questionnaires that gather data
points such as farm size, farmer demographic, crops and livestock production,
and value data, among others.
According to USDA, the 2022 census
collected more than 6 million data points
about U.S. farms and ranches and the people who operate them down to the county
level.
Farmland trends
Doug Bounds is the USDA state statistician for Kansas. He spoke about the
census on K-States Agriculture Today
program. He shared some of the trends
that stood out to him about the state of
Kansass farms and ranches.
One key metric that public and pri-
2×3
Yutzy
vate sectors are interested in is just how
many farms there are today. Congress
has defined a farm to be any place that
produced and sold or normally would
have produced and sold at least $1,000
of agricultural products during a given
year.
According to the census, Kansas counted 55,734 farms in 2022, a 5% decrease
from the number of farms reported in the
2017 census, Bounds said. And when you
look at how 2022 compares with the 2002
Census of Agriculture, Bounds said, the
decrease is 13.5%.
Its a trend that is reflected nationwide,
with the total of all U.S. farms at about 1.9
million, down from 2.04 million in the 2017
Ag Census. But farm size is increasing,
he said. The average Kansas farm size is
up from 781 acres in 2017 to 804 acres in
2022.
Nationwide, the average farm size has
increased as well, to 463 acres in 2022 compared with 441 acres in 2017.
Rise of larger farm
The ag census breaks down farms into
about seven different categories according
to their size, Bounds said. And according
to the 2022 responses, there were about
2,500 farms in Kansas that landed in the
smallest category of 1 to 9 acres.
On the other end of the scale, farms of
2,000 acres or more accounted for a little
more than 6,000 in the state, or about 11%
of the total farms in Kansas. Bounds said
that larger farm category also accounted
for about 64% of the agricultural land in
Kansas.
There were 16,000 farms in the category
of 50 to 179 acres, or 29% of all Kansas
farms in the state, and yet they only operate on about 4% of the land, Bounds said.
The ag census also shows that 29% of
Kansas farms contribute less than 0.5% of
all agricultural sales in the state, Bounds
said. Meanwhile, about 0.6% of all Kansas
farms in the state sell $5 million or more
in agricultural production, which is about
55% of all the agricultural sales in the
state.

Higher costs,
lower prices
point toward
a lean 2024
By S.L. Fuller, agriculturedive.com
Farmers across the country are set to
make less money this year, marking an
end to a record-breaking streak, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The 2024 Farm Sector Income Forecast
showed net farm income profits after
operating expenses is expected to
decrease 25.5% to $116 billion, compared
to $155.9 billion in 2023.
Specifically, farm cash receipts are set
to decrease by 4.2% from 2023; total crop
receipts are expected to decrease by 6.3%;
total animal/animal product receipts are
projected to drop 1.9%; and receipts for
eggs, turkeys, cattle/calves and milk are
also forecast to dip relative to 2023.
StudioID By Industry Dive logoAfter
the three highest consecutive years on
record in 2021-2023, the first farm income
forecast of 2024 indicates net farm income
this year will return to prior levels,
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said
in a statement. While some production
costs have come down, others, including
labor, pesticides, and livestock purchases, have increased. This brings us to the
slightly below historic levels for farm
income forecasted today.
Some of the reasons for the decrease,
according to the USDA, include lower
commodity prices, lower direct government payments and higher production
expenses.
The report says commodity prices are

expected to decrease by $21.2 billion from
2023 to 2024. Both crop and animal product
sales are expected to decrease for corn,
soybeans, eggs, turkeys, cattle and milk.
The USDA forecasts total production
expenses will increase 3.8% year over
year to $455 billion in 2024. Livestock
and poultry purchases, as well as labor
expenses, are projected to increase the
most. The agency said spending on fuels/
oils is set to decline compared to 2023.
Inflation is still elevated. The consumer
price index, generally accepted as the
inflation rate, sat at 3.4% in December.
While much of the inflation is due to shelSEE FORECAST ON PAGE 7

ter, electricity and gas became
more expensive, while prices
for transportation services rose
9.7% year over year.
AJ Wormuth, owner of Half Full
Dairy in Central New York, told
Spectrum News 1 that prices for
everything have increased
except milk. The local New York
news outlet calculated that the
decline in projected profits represents an average of $72,000 for
every farm in the U.S.
Also contributing to dented
farm profits are direct government farm payments, which the
USDA said are set to drop by
$1.9 billion in 2024, compared to
the previous year. Thats largely
due to less supplemental and ad
hoc disaster assistance, according to the agency.
With government supplemental program payments, such as
the Emergency Relief Program,
decreasing its clear that farmers are in a tough spot. The cost
of doing business as a farmer
is outpacing consumer appetite
for spending, Ali Cox, CEO and
founder of agriculture-focused
marketing agency Noble West,
told Agriculture Dive.
The USDAs forecast comes as
congressional negotiations over
the farm bill continue. House
Democrats advocate funding
for food assistance and climate
programs, as Republicans aim
to reallocate money from the
Inflation Reduction Act to other
farm priorities.
When you look at the economic impact
thats reported in the census, its easy to
see how agriculture is a major driver in the
state, with a total market value of $24 billion
in 2022.
Cattle is king in Kansas, Bounds said.
Kansas is second in the nation in beef cattle
production, which contributed $13.6 billion
in agricultural production sold in Kansas in
2022.
Coming in second in ag sales in the state
across all commodities? Corn, with a value
of $3.4 billion sold in 2022.
For another year, Kansas is the top state
in the nation in winter wheat production,
and when you account for all wheat classes,
Kansas is second, Bounds said.
Kansas also continues to be the No. 1
state in the nation in sorghum production
in number of farms growing sorghum, the
acres planted to sorghum and the value of
sorghum produced.
Average age of farmer
The census reports that the average age of
a Kansas farmer is up slightly to 58.2 years.
In 2017, the average age was 58.1.
Young producers those aged 35 and
younger and those classified as new and
beginning farmers are two separate classifications, but they have some overlap,
Bounds explained.
There were 9,700 young farmers reported
in the state, which is 9.6% of all Kansas
farmers. Further, that group, Bounds said,
is operating larger farms than the typical
producer, of about 916 acres. He attributed
that to the older generation passing farms on
to the next.
The new and beginning farmers, those
operating a farm or ranch for 10 years or
fewer, were about 28% of all Kansas farmers,
and their average age was about 48.6 years.
That is likely farmers who had a career elsewhere and have turned to farming, Bounds
said.

Ag census: How nation measures up
According to USDA, the 2022 Agricultural
Census had some interesting insights at the
national level. Its important to note that
the
Ag Census was conducted in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, with its
supply chain challenges and added government payments.
The census found these statistics:
-Economic impact. U.S. farms and ranches produced $543 billion in agricultural
products, up from $389 billion in 2017. With
farm production expenses of $424 billion,
U.S. farms had net cash income of $152 billion. Average farm income rose to $79,790. A
total of 43% of farms had positive net cash
farm income in 2022.
-Internet access. Farms with internet
access continued to rise from 75% in 2017 to
79% in 2022.
-Use of renewable energy. A total of
153,101 farms and ranches used renewable
energy-producing systems compared with
133,176 farms in 2017, a 15% increase. The
majority of farms (76%) with renewable
energy systems reported using solar panels.
Sales of farms. In 2022, 116,617 farms sold
directly to consumers, with sales of $3.3
billion. The value of sales increased 16%
from 2017.
-Sales of goods. Almost three-fourths of
all farms reported sales of $50,000 or less.
Overall, 105,384 farms reported $1 million
or more in sales and sold more than threefourths of all agricultural products.
-Top commodities. Almost three-fourths
of farmland was used by farms specializing
in two commodity categories: oilseed and
grain production (32%) and beef cattle production (40%).
-Gender breakdown. In 2022, 1.2 million
female producers were counted in the ag
census, or 36% of all farmers. And 58% of all
farms had at least one female decision-maker.

Strategies for success: Planting soybeans early
Data has shown that planting soybeans early so they have the opportunity
to maximize the growing season pays,
says AgriGold Agronomist Ron Roling.
Even the insurance companies have seen
the advantage and moved up their planting windows.
At grower meetings, Roling often asks
who has started planting soybeans earlier
and who regrets it. Nobody really regrets
it, he says. That speaks volumes.
Roling expects the trend of planting
soybeans before corn to continue. And
after a mild winter, more Iowa farmers
than ever are considering early soybean
planting. There are several strategies
farmers can use to mitigate the risks and
unlock the full potential of their acres.
Protect with a quality seed treatment
Early planting can heighten the risk of
disease, whether thats seedling disease
or sudden death syndrome (SDS). Roling
says the No. 1 thing farmers planting soybeans early should do is make sure they
are using standard rates of a high-quality
seed treatment.
Fully treat your soybean seed with
products that have fungicide and insecticide protection, as well as something for
SDS protection, like Saltro, he advises.
Think of that seed treatment like an
insurance policy.
Dont try to compensate with high
populations
Farmers planting soybeans early
should also consider dialing back their
planting populations, Roling says. If
farmers use a fully loaded seed treatment
system and start with bigger, healthier
plants that are spaced out and able to capture more sunlight and benefit from more
air movement, theyll set the stage for
plants to load on the pods and also create
a less favorable environment for disease.
Many farmers assume early planting
comes with more loss due to damping off
or crusting or other soil situations, but
Roling says that assumption isnt backed
by germination data.
Thats a major shift in ideology. When
I started in the industry in the late 90s, we
were drilling soybeans at 200,000 seeds per
acre or more, Roling points out. Today,
farmers are setting world-record soybean
yields of more than 200 bushels an acre
with a seeding rate of 85,000 or less.
The general rule of thumb, according
to Roling, is the more productive the
Pig deaths linked to fumonisin in feed
When abortions or stillbirths happen
in sow barns, the first call is likely to the
veterinarian. As both the vet and farmer
wait for test results, the animals continue
to eat. And that could be the root of the
problem.
This year, hog producers are calling
Marcia Shannon searching for answers.
The University of Missouri Extension
state swine specialist is pointing them
toward the mycotoxin fumonisin as the
culprit.
Fumonisin is produced by fusarium
molds in corn and typically occurs when
hot, dry weather is followed by periods
of high humidity, which was the case in
much of Missouri in 2023.
Elevated fumonisin levels are showing
up in feed across the state and causing
problems in the swine industry, particularly for farmers with gestation and lactation barns.
Those I work with who lost pigs found
it in their feed, Shannon says.
Just how much is too much toxin
The
Missouri
Department
of
Agriculture Bureau of Feed and Seed surveys corn every fall. Last year, the department collected 122 samples, and 83 tested
positive for fumonisin.
While the majority of the samples
fall in the less-than-9.9-parts-per-million
range, Shannon hears from hog producers finding up to 15 ppm. For perspective,
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
allows for 20 ppm in no more than 50% of
the swine diet.
But every batch of feed is different
because feed mills have different corn
sources, Shannon explains, and some
may contain higher levels than others.
Producers may have received a batch of
feed in January or February without a
fumonisin problem, but their batch in
March popped too high.
Reports into Shannons office were
from the central and northwest region,
but the problem is not regional. It is
across the state, just spotty, she adds.
While testing is done on-farm and at the
feed mill, fumonisin can still grow on corn
harvested and stored since September.
Shannon warns farmers to take immediate steps to safeguard their animals.
Assess hogs for symptoms
Fumonisin does not only cause piglet
deaths in the sow barn.
According to Texas A&M Veterinary
Diagnostic Labs, grower pigs that consume fumonisin B1 can also develop porcine pulmonary edema or PPE.
This presents when the pig first
decreases its feed intake, then four to
seven days later shows signs of respiratory difficulty. In extreme cases, it results in
death.
While Shannon nor the Missouri
Department of Agriculture have heard of
SEE DEATHS ON PAGE 10
ground, the lower a farmer can go with
his or her seeding population.
Manage residue and focus on a good
seedbed
Residue management is another must
for some areas. Residue in the row can
make it difficult to get a level seedbed for
uniform planting, plus it can complicate
emergence. Anything a farmer can do
to get the residue off the row is critical
to achieving uniform planting and even
stands, Roling says.
Residue can also suppress soil temperatures. Soil thermometers have shown
there can be a 6- to 10-degree difference
in soil temperature where residue is, he
points out. Clearing the residue from the
row allows the soil to warm much quicker, encouraging better germination.
Roling encourages farmers to pay
attention to emergence scores but not get
hung up on them. Choose a later maturity soybean variety thats a good fit for
your field and management style so you
can take full advantage of the extended
growing season, he advises.
ETHANOL
Be ready to go when soils are fit
Every year, it seems like conditions
turn fit for planting quickly. Thats why
its important farmers have their equipment ready, their supplies in place, their
seed treatments on and anything else they
can do to prepare.
Roling cautions against forcing soybeans in before a field is ready and says
farmers should plant in the order fields
turn fit. Fields with lighter soil types will
likely be ready first, he says. For heavier ground, those that are tiled best or have
good drainage are likely to be fit first.
Soybeans are a hardier plant, and
Roling says its not uncommon for soybeans to be planted 6 to 10 days or more
before corn. Ideally, there will be a window when soil conditions are ideal and
the forecast is trending warmer, he says.
Your wins are our wins, he continues. We make a point of knowing what
works and what doesnt when it comes to
early soybean planting because we want
farmers to get the most from every acre.

The importance of
Vitamin A for calf health
FROM PAGE 9
By Emma Reints, Iowa State University
Vitamin A is critical in reproduction,
growth, and health in cattle. Though
green grass is rich in the precursor to
vitamin A, beta carotene, deficiency in
vitamin A may be of concern due to recent
years of drought. National recommendations for vitamin A supplementation
assume cows have been eating lots of
green grass for a significant portion of the
year, building stores for critical processes
such as vision, helping cows stay healthy
while pregnant, and general cattle health.
It is essential to monitor for signs of
vitamin A deficiency as it can be a major
factor in the success of your calf crop this
year.
Young calves with vitamin A deficiency may display signs ranging from
weakness to a dampened immune system,
leading to increased susceptibility to disease (especially diarrhea.) Vitamin A is
important in epithelial cells, such as those
in the eye and those lining the gut. Some
signs to look for are:
Increased illness, including diarrhea
and pneumonia
Reduced feed intake and growth
Rough hair coat
Weak and uncoordinated
In extreme deficiency, a white film
over the eye (xerophthalmia)
Access to colostrum is one of the most
important parts of establishing vitamin A
status in newborn calves. Did you know
newborn calves have virtually no vitamin
A in their body? Vitamin A cannot transfer to the calf in utero, but colostrum is
rich in vitamin A and will establish vitamin A stores in newborn calves. Vitamin
A stores begin to be moved for colostrum
production before calving, so it is import-
ant to consider vitamin A supplementation in your cows during late gestation.
Stored feedstuffs, like cornstalks and
hay, are likely low in vitamin A, so they
should be supplemented with vitamin A
to ensure calves obtain adequate vitamin
A in the colostrum and milk.
Remember, vitamin A easily degrades
over time, so feeding an old supplement
will not provide the vitamin A on the
label, and may not be enough to support
cow and calf health.
In the unfortunate event that calves are
stillborn or die, a diagnostic test should be
run to understand if vitamin A deficiency is a concern. Also, producers should
inform the lab if the calf had colostrum so
the appropriate reference ranges can be
used in diagnosis.
If a vitamin A deficiency is diagnosed,
injectable vitamin A may be an option
to increase vitamin A status rapidly.
Injections will not be a long-term fix, and
underlying reasons for deficiency should
be fixed to maintain vitamin A status.

PPE in Missouri, pork producers need to
be vigilant about determining fumonisin
levels in feed.
Action items for hog producers
If mixing your own feed, test current
corn for mycotoxin levels, particularly fumonisins. Send samples through
Shannon, an Extension office or a veterinary diagnostic lab for analysis.
Add mycotoxin binder products to
feed if fumonisin levels are detected.
Shannon points to DSMs Mycofix Select
with FUMzyme as one option that works.
Follow label instructions for inclusion
rates based on specific mycotoxin types
and levels.
Contact a feed mill to request mycotoxin testing reports for animal feed batches.
Review reports to ensure adequate testing
and acceptable levels are present.
Make sure you get your feed tested
whether you think you have a problem or
not, Shannon says. Just knowing that
theres problems out there, get tested and
then use the binding products. They are
kind of expensive, but at the same time, if
it prevents abortions, it pays for itself.
More than pigs
The
Missouri
Department
of
Agriculture notes that higher levels
of fumonisin in corn do not only affect
swine.
Horses and other equids, as well as
rabbits, are most sensitive, although all
livestock can experience effects.
Consumption of corn contaminated
with fumonisin causes moldy corn poisoning or leukoencephalomalacia, which
is a softening of the brains white matter, according to Texas A&M Veterinary
Medical Diagnostic Labs.
Animals that consume elevated levels
of fumonisin may demonstrate neurological symptoms such as confusion, circling, incoordination, agitation and facial
twitching.
If symptoms occur, contact your veterinarian.

to be something that will work like you
want them to work, Keim said.
Last week Keim got a visit from an
Amish group from Tunis, Mo., looking for
loose hay loaders. The horse-drawn loaders are hard to find, but before the party
headed back to the Show-Me State they
had a whole load of other gear.
The way they made a lot of this stuff,
you just cant find it made that way any
more, Keim said. It still holds up.
Keims collection includes all manner
of horse drawn equipment horse drawn
freight wagons remeniscent of conestoga style covered wagons; piles of steel
wheels; hay rakes and mowers; manure
spreaders in various stages of disassembly. He has customers all over the central
United States some hes dealt with for
years and some who find him online.
Its kind of a combination of word of
mouth and the Internet, Keim said. I
find the equipment and they find me.
One of the reconditioned manure spreaders Aaron Keim will ship out-of-state.
