New rules? EKAE in national spotlight
Building code update
could mean cheaper
insurance premiums
BY ART BLACK
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Outdated city
building codes are most likely costing Garnett property
owners more in insurance
premiums, and a full revision
of city codes may be on the
citys agenda.
A recent survey of
Garnetts city codes conducted by the Insurance Services
Office, Inc. (ISO), which supplies actuarial analysis for
property insurance companies in the U.S., ranked the
code schedule at the bottom
of its possible classification
numbers. Insurers can use
those rankings to offer insurance premium discounts to
eligible properties in Garnett,
and adapting the newest construction codes can potentially lower insurance premiums, city codes officer Gary
Giczewski told city commissioners.
Given that these codes are
updated every three years, in
2021 there will be new regulations that will decrease
our rating if we dont adopt
to the 2021 codes, Giczewski
said. Its not just the zoning department, its gas and
water, because their codes
have changed also. The way
they install meters the way
they install lines the way
contractors perform their
installations for residential,
commercial, and industrial
projects are different from
2005 to 2018.
The ISO expects a response
from the city on its plan to
approach the update by

Recent low humidity
means hustle for firemen
Stretch of dry air
made grass & brush a
wildfire tenderbox
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Periodic lows
in humidity may feel like a
welcome relief to area residents who struggle in the
thick summer air of Eastern
Kansas, but the low moisture
content that ended with last
weeks rain ran local firefighters ragged.
We had 19 calls, said
Anderson County Fire Chief
Mick Brinkmeyer of the
weeks run total, five were
medical calls, two accidents
and 12 fire calls.
Brinkmeyer said the spate
of fire calls with the exception of one were all legal pasture burnings planned fires
in which landowners had
obtained permits in advance
of their burn. But with the
humidity dipping into the 40
percent and 30 percent range,

Kincaid among state leaders in
percentage growth of sales tax
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Sales tax collections for Anderson County
and local cities are for the
most part keeping pace with
year-ago figures for 2017
during the first few months of
this year, with the exception
of the City of Kincaid, which
has seen one of the largest
percentage increases in the
state.
With few local businesses
in town, Kincaids 1 percent
sales tax implemented in
1999 typically generates only
around $5,000 per year, but
figures for the states fiscal
year beginning July 1 show
the city up 46 percent in yearto-date collections from
$3,229 in 2017 to $4,714 this
year.

American Choppers
unveils custom bike
for RFA at local plant
ART BLACK
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A crowd of
more than 500 showed up
Saturday at the East Kansas
Agri Energy ethanol plant in
Garnett to see the unveiling
of a new American Choppers
motorcycle designed and
built for the Renewable Fuels
Association to promote the
use of ethanol by motorcyclists.
Organizers say 539 people
signed releases to participate
in the filming of the episode
with others on site as well, as
the production crew filmed
the unveiling of the bike for
a segment of the Discovery
Channel series which is
being brought back in May
after cancellation several
years ago. Images of the RFA
motorcycle were embargoed
until the airing of the episode, probably in June or
July, although those in attendance got to see the bike in
person and up close.
Garnett native and RFAs
vice president of industry
relations Robert White said
the event is part of the ethanol industrys continuing
effort to be accepted by the
motorcycle community.
Although various manufacturers including Harley
Davidson have noted that
ethanol-mix fuels pose no
more risk for engines than
any other fuel, White said the
notion persists that ethanol
and motorcycle engines dont
mix, even though a handful of
bikes have been converted to
run on fuel thats 85 percent
ethanol and 15 percent standard unleaded.

Guardsmans homecoming may signal new career
GARNETT About 30 friends and
family came out in grand fashion to
greet Kansas National Guardsman
Preslee Fritz when she returned
home March 16 after her field artillery units deployment to the Middle
East.
And though she said shes glad to
be home to such fanfare, her return
is bittersweet.
I wish that I could still be out
there, Specialist E4 Fritz said. I
have found the thing that I love to
do more than anything else in life.
A greeting party met the Fritzes
at the corner of Park Road and
Maple complete with signs, banners
and a motorcycle escort as they
headed into Garnett on March 16.
A 2012 Anderson County
High School graduate, Fritz was
deployed for a year in the Kuwait
region, part of the 2nd Battalion
130th Field Artillery division of
the Army National Guard out of
Holton, Kansas. Her parents, Joe
and Sandie Fritz of Garnett, said
they were understandably excited to
have their daughter home.
Preslee, however, may not be
done with national service. Bitten
by military bug, she says the experience brought her to the determination that she may pursue her career
among the services hopefully with
an option for military aviation.

series, told the crowd he initially expected a bigger challenge in converting the engine
of RFAs promotional chopper
to run E85, but the conversion
actually was pretty simple and
can be done on any bike.
White said he was excited about RFAs partnership
with Paul Jr. and the revival
of American Choppers, which
was canceled after nine-year
run in 2012 due to lawsuits
between Teutul and his father,
Paul Sr., the other principal of
the series.
Were going to have Paul Jr.
with us in Sturgis this year,
White said. The motorcycle
media will be attached to him
with the return of American
Chopper starting May 28th,
and were happy to be a part of
that.
Bill Pracht, chief executive
officer of EKAE, said it was an
honor for the local plant to be
selected as the site for the promotional unveiling. He noted
the companys commitment
to exploring new renewable
fuel partnerships through its
recent development of renewable diesel fuel production on
site at the companys campus.

WASHINGTON, D.C The U.S.
Department of Agriculture
(USDA) Farm Service Agency
(FSA) today announced another year of high activity in its
farm loan programs.
Hard-working farm families
across the country accessed
nearly $6 billion in new credit,
either directly or guaranteed
through commercial lenders
in 2017. At year end, FSA was
assisting more than 120,000
family farmers with loans
totaling just over $25 billion.
FSA loan funds have
been in high demand the last
few years, said Dr. Robert
Johansson, Acting Deputy
Under Secretary for the Farm
Production and Conservation
mission area. We provide
opportunities to qualified
small, beginning and underserved farmers who are unable
to obtain commercial credit,
to help them get started, gain
access to land and grow their
operations. Family farmers
across America also come to
us for credit when they face
challenges to stay in business.
Were proud to support rural
prosperity by providing credit
to those who need it most.
FSA provides a variety
of loan assistance, including direct and guaranteed
farm ownership loans, operating loans and even direct
Microloans up to $50,000 and
EZ Guarantees up to $100,000.

REMEMBRANCES
Easter Christ died for our sins!
In Matthew 27;50-53 the apostle relates the story of the crucifixion. He writes And when
Jesus had cried out again in a
loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
At that moment the curtain
of the temple was torn in two
from top to bottom. The earth
shook and the rocks split. The
tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who
had died were raised to life.
They came out of the tombs,
and after Jesus resurrection
they went into the holy city and
appeared to many people.
In order to understand the
significance of this we must
first understand Jewish religious customs. The temple
had three main parts, the outer
court (for worshipers) the Holy
Place (where only the priest
could enter) and the Most Holy
Place (where only the high
priest could enter and only
once a year to atone for the
sins of the nation).
The tearing in two of the
curtain symbolizes the end of
the old covenant (the sacrificial system) and the beginning
of the new covenant (Christs
atonement for our sins). No
longer was direct access to
God limited. The old system
of sacrifice was temporary. It
was performed by a priest, who
ministered on earth, used the
blood of animals which were
required to be without blemish and was repeated over
and over. This system of worship was limited to Jewish
people alone.
With the tearing in two of
the curtain a new covenant
was born. The new system
of sacrifice was permanent.
Jesus as the high priest, ministers from heaven, shed his
blood one time, allows us
to confidently approach the
throne and sets aside the old
system. The Scofield Study
Bible states as follows. The
tearing in two of that curtain
which was a type of the human
body of Christ signified that a
new and living way was opened
for all believers into the very
presence of God, with no other
sacrifice or priesthood except
Christs. The key phrase is
a new and living way was
opened for all believers.
In 1st Timothy 2:5-6, Paul
writes For there is one God
and one mediator between
God and man, the man Christ
Jesus, who gave himself as a
ransom for all men – the testimony given in its proper time.
Jesus is the new and living
way. Understanding Easter
is very simple. Jesus died for
your sins and mine. The hard
part is getting past understanding to believing. A story is told
about a man who was dying
and the doctor had the cure for
him in a spoon for him to take
but the man did not believe he
could be cured. Ultimately he
died. Dont wait that long to
receive Jesus.
Brinkmeyer said last
weeks rainfall gave firefighters a reprieve and allowed
them to rest up and repair
equipment so theyre ready
when things dry out again.
Intermittent rain was expected to continue from over the
weekend to the first days of
this week, but Brinkmeyer
cautioned more dry weather
would obviously be on the
way. Those burning pasture
or brush need to be aware of
the humidity, he said, and use
extra care when the relative
humidity drops below 40 percent.
The countys fire permit
protocol includes:
a separate permit must be
obtained for each area being
burned;
only grass or brush can be
burned;
all fires need to have a person in attendance to supervise
the fire until the fire is out;
no burning at nighttime;
no fires that create a traffic or other safety hazard,
including allowing smoke to
cross any roadway;
burn permits will only
be allowed for fires hour
before sunrise and hour
before sunset, with the exception of brush piles;
no more brush can be
added the next day unless a
new permit is obtained;
To check burn ban status
and get a phone-in burn permit, call the Anderson County
Dispatch Center at (785) 4485428.

OPINION
Back to the funding well
of the Kansas taxpayer
WestEd cost study would mean
a tab of billions for the same Kansas
taxpayers who funded 2017 hike
BY DAVE TRABERT
THE KANSAS POLICY INSTITUTE
Preliminary results of the WestEd cost study
on school funding have media and some legislators salivating over the prospect of billions
more being poured in Kansas schools, without
even passing concern over the devastating tax
hikes that would be required. Medias read on
the WestEd cost study says $1.8 billion to $2.1
billion more is needed in addition to $6 billion
provided last year.
The study recommends a five-year phase-in
of any spending increase but the tax increases
required to do so are nonetheless breathtaking. Scenario A calls for $1.8 billion more
than provided in FY 2017 but the Legislature
already gave schools $293 million over two
years and factored that into the budget, so the
net increase needed going forward is $1.49 billion. The net increase for Scenario B is $1.77
billion.
Funding the entire amount with property
tax would require raising the mandatory 20
mills to 69 mills in Scenario A, or to 78 mills in
Scenario B. If funded solely with sales tax, the
state rate would jump from 6.5 percent to either
10.1 perceWestEd-1-1.pngnt or 10.7 percent; in
either case, Kansas would have the highest
sales tax rate in the nation. Individual income
taxes would have to increase by 49.8 percent
under Scenario A or by 59.1 percent under
Scenario B.
A five-year phase in would lessen the immediate impact but tax hikes of such magnitude
would most certainly cause some people and
businesses to leave, which could affect those
remaining even more so.
The real cost could be much lower
That said, its not clear whether Scenario
A or Scenario B in the WestEd cost study is
whats needed to provide adequate funding.
The authors suggested only $451 million more
is needed to maintain current performance
thresholds, and if the $293 million already provided fully counts, the net increase would drop
to $158 million. This is a critical distinction for
at least two reasons: (1) the Court says roughly
75 percent of students are already meeting the
Rose standards, which should mean additional
funding (in its mind) is just needed for the
other 25 percent, and (2) the Court says the
Legislatures funding obligation is only to provide funding to meet minimum standards.
The WestEd cost study says Scenario A is
approximately equivalent to the threshold of
performance used in the former assessment
under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law.
Scenario
B reflects
the

Board
of
Educations
desire
to
have specific
percentages of
students considered college and career-ready
(Level 3 or Level 4 on the state assessment) but
the Court recognizes Level 2 as achieving the
minimum standard.
Our scientific survey shows Kansans overwhelmingly reject tax increases needed for a
$600 million increase, so its safe to say voters
wont support double or triple that amount.
And that puts most legislators in a real pickle.
Do they follow the Courts lead and reject its
intrusion on the Legislatures constitutional
authority? Or do they bend to the will of media
and the education lobby with economy-crushing tax increases that wont help students?
Defying media and the education lobby might
get them kicked out of office in November. But
the price of getting elected could be throwing
students and taxpayers under the bus.
Buckle up. Its going to be a stormy Spring.

Left sets up to Bork Gina Haspel as CIA chief
President Donald Trumps pick for CIA
director is about to experience a good Borking.
No one doubts her professionalism, and
shes been endorsed by Obama intelligence
officials. Yet Gina Haspels long career at the
agency, including extensive work undercover in the field, is getting blotted out by her
reported involvement in the CIAs black-site
interrogation program, which has become a
warrant to say anything about her.
Her critics assert she should be in jail, and
The New York Times editorial page wrote
about her nomination under the headline
Having a Torturer Lead the C.I.A.
Not to be outdone in demagogic attacks on
anyone associated with our national security
apparatus, Sen. Rand Paul calls Haspel the
head cheerleader for waterboarding, and
claims she mocked a detainee for his drooling.
The only problem is that this anecdote comes
from a book by a contractor who worked with
the CIA, James Mitchell, and it describes a
man, not a woman, making the comment.
Factual accuracy aside, the attacks on
Haspel are ahistorical in that they ignore the
context of the CIA program, and unfair insofar
as they portray her as a remorselessly cruel
prime mover behind it.
The interrogation program began when
al-Qaida operative Abu Zubaydah was captured in March 2002. At the time, we believed
another 9/11-style attack was imminent, and
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
preventing it had an urgency fueled by raw
memories of an event that was literally yesterdays news.
The interrogation program wasnt a rogue
operation. The CIA repeatedly briefed select
congressional leaders, especially the top
Republicans and Democrats on the intelligence committees. It was approved at the
highest level of the U.S. government, and the
CIA sought, and got, explicit legal approval
from the Department of Justice.
Haspel is connected in the press to the
interrogations of Abu Zubaydah, although the
CIA hasnt confirmed her participation and
insists much of the reporting about her work
in this period is erroneous.
But lets consider Zubaydahs case. He was
not a detainee who had nothing to tell us, as
he is often portrayed by critics of the CIA.
Shortly after his capture, he identified Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed as the mastermind of 9/11.
The enhanced interrogations were brutal.
Zubaydah was struck, placed in stress positions, confined in small boxes and repeatedly waterboarded. During one session, he
became unresponsive. By any standard, this
was extreme and right up to the legal line.
The CIA didnt learn of any planned attack
in the U.S.; it did become confident that
Zubaydah wasnt holding back anything. From
his capture to his transfer to the Department
of Defense on Sept. 5, 2006, information from
him produced 766 intelligence reports.
In the cold light of day, we would have
handled all of this differently. But this was
a national failing, and at a time when we
understandably believed we were in a race
to prevent another atrocity on our shores. To
punish Gina Haspel more than 15 years later
for doing what her country asked her to do,
and in response to what she was told were lawful orders, would be a travesty and a disgrace.
But so were the confirmation hearings of
Robert Bork.

Numbers dont add up in Kobach vote cheating
Dear Mr. Hicks,
I am writing in regards to the Review commentary: About rain gauges, and vote cheaters. I feel that it is important to include some
facts about the case and examine rain gauges
and vote cheating in regards to these facts.
In the case that you are referring to,
Fish v. Kobach, the ACLU brought this case
against Kobach on the behalf of 6 residents of
Kansas siting that the Documentary Proof of
Citizenship (DPOC)law enacted in 2013 prevented plaintiffs from voting under the protection of the National Voter Registration Act
( NVRA). The NVRA was passed to make sure
that US citizens are provided every opportunity to vote and have easy access to the
voting booth. The act states that it is illegal
to demand citizenship documents unless the
state satisfied a two-prong test: 1) there are a
substantial number of noncitizens registering
to vote in the state and 2) that nothing less
burdensome than the DPOC requirements
would remedy the problem. Due to the DPOC
law, these six residents of Kansas, who are
also citizens of the United States, were placed
on this suspense list and unable to vote
in 2014 and one in 2015. In this case, the
plaintiffs have asked that Kobach prove the
two pronged test. This case does not concern
DPOC laws to buy a house or liquor because
those laws do not exist.
To satisfy the first prong, Kansas officials
have identified 127 individuals out of 1.8
million voters — whom they believe were
non-citizens at the time that they registered
or attempted to register to vote. Of those
127 people identified over the last 18 years, 43
appeared to have successfully registered to
vote in Kansas and only 11 appeared to have
actually cast a ballot. Kobachs own witnesses
have had to admit that the number prevented the DMV office in the summer of 2015 and
from legally voting far outweigh the cheat produced his U.S. passport. Nevertheless, he

HISTORY
100 years ago: Horse Old Billy passes
away after family buys new car
10 years ago…
One of the areas most
renown car thieves found
himself afoot last week after
someone stole his car. After
spending months in jail for
charges stemming from the
theft of seven vehicles between
December 2006 and March 2007,
Carl Damron Jr. got a taste
of his own medicine last week
when his car turned up missing.

30 years ago…
Members of the Anderson
County Hospital Board signed
a lease/purchase agreement
for an updated heart-monitoring system with Physio-Control
of Kansas City at the regular
board meeting Thursday night.
The $918 per month and fiveyear agreement will allow the
hospital to put new monitors in
the cardiac care room, operating room, recovery room, and
one at the nurses station.
40 years ago…
The
Garnett
Racing
Association voted at its meeting to allow use of $5,500 of the
groups funds for a loan to the
Campfire youth building fund.
The youth building is under
construction at the North Park
near the east shelter house.
The project was started by the
campfire organization because
their meeting building was falling into decay, and the group
wanted to have a new site to
meet which could be used by
other area youth organizations.
100 years ago…
Old Billy, the faithful
28-year-old horse which Mrs.
Ray OHarra and the boys have
driven the past 18 years, is
dead. Was it old age or perhaps a broken heart? Only a
few days ago he made the trip
to town and was fine. When the
new car was bought old Billy
looked as if he knew his day
was past and was hanging his
head lower than ever. The boys
drove him ever since they were
babies and he never betrayed
their confidence.
March Madness did you know..?

Searching for one of General Custers
encampments near Hays – Day 2
Sunday 4 March 2018
My last day on this special
archaeological project at Hays,
Kansas.
After breakfast, I reported
to our work site for roll call.
There are only twelve of us
here today.
We soon put our metal detectors to rest and formed four
teams of three, as today we will
be recording, collecting artifacts, pulling target flags and
back filling holes.
A lot of unique finds were
also photographed in place
before collecting. This has been
a very successful three days, as
over 1,000 artifacts were found
and recorded at this Custer
encampment.
Today was a terrible day in

daylight tomorrow.
Monday 5 March 2018.
Up early, ate my breakfast
at the motel, gassed my pick-up
and on my way back to Garnett.
It was still very windy all
the way home. I saw very few
wildlife in the fields, but I did
see a baby Lama that had just
been born trying to stand up as
I drove along.
I arrived safely home at 11:30
a.m. and found that the Lord
had watched over Kay and our
homes while I was gone.
Note: The very next day, a
huge grass fire broke out East
of Hays and Hwy 70 was closed

Its been a long tradition
that the tournament champions have cut down the nets to
take home, but since 1986, the
winning school has also been
given the hardwood court, too.
Many sell and/or auction off
pieces to fans.
The oldest coach to win a
title was Jim Calhoun in 2011
at the age of 68. The title of
the youngest coach belongs to
Emmett McCracken who led
Indiana to the championship in
1940 at the age of 31.
The odds of filling out a
perfect bracket are one in
9,223,372,036,854,775,808 (thats
quintillion).
The record for most points
scored by individual in a NCAA
tournament game belongs to
Austin Carr who recorded 61
points in Notre Dames 1970
opener. Loyola Marymount
scored the most amount of
points by a team in one game
with 149 points in 1990, while
North Carolina holds the
record for fewest points after
recording 20 in a 1941 game.
Three individuals have
won an NCAA championship
as a player and as a coach:
Joe B. Hall as a player and
coach of Kentucky, Bob Knight
as a player with Ohio State
and coach of Indiana, and Dean
Smith as a player at Kansas
and coach at North Carolina.
The lowest seed to ever
win the NCAA Tournament?
Villanova as a No. 8 seed in
1985.
The first NCAA Mens
Basketball Tournament was
held in 1939… and consisted of
only eight teams.
CODES…
FROM PAGE 1
March 26th, 2018.
Adapting new codes comes
as no surprise to one Garnett
based company.
I knew it would be coming
sooner or later, said Rodney
Miller, of Miller Construction,
Inc. I know that some of the
areas around us like Miami
County have already updated their codes. Some things
like the 90-mile-per-hour
wind loads for buildings have
increased to 115 mile-per-hour.
There may be other changes
that affect other contractors,
but for us, weve been meeting
the expectations of the new
codes for a while now.
One factor affecting contractors embrace of the new
standards is the fact that so
few new construction permits
are applied for in the City of
Garnett because so few new
houses or business buildings
are built here. Whereas some
200 permits have been issued
in the rural areas of Anderson
County since the county
adopted zoning in 2000, only
about a half dozen have been
issued in Garnett.
Miller said the codes update
was likely inevitable.
They are going to want to
do it sooner or later to keep up
with everybody else, he said.
Mayor Jody Cole said she
was compelled by the safe-
ty aspect of the code update
most.
I think what I keep coming back to is the real reason for updating code books,
and that has to do with safety.
Sometimes you have to look at
safety verses costs, and if it is
anything reasonable, especially since ours books go clear
back to 2005, we should strongly consider updating them.

and the cities of Elwood and
Collyer beat Kincaids percentage growth.
Kincaids improvement was
better than 10 times the state
sales tax collections as a whole,
which are running 4.1 percent
ahead of a year ago according
to the most recent February
distributions, which totaled
some $660 million statewide.
Sales tax is generally viewed
as one of the indicators of economic health of a community,
because it gauges retail sales
of taxed goods as long as rates
stay the same year to year. The
number of large ticket retailers like auto dealerships and
furniture stores however
can skew the overall picture
because those businesses collect such larger portions of
sales tax from local buyers.
Businesses collect state sales
tax in addition to any local
city or county taxes added
on, remit those funds to the
state revenue department, and
then local units of government
receive their own portions of
the collection in distributions
from the state.
Most other counties and cities stayed pretty close to last
years collection and distribution figures in the most recent
report for the eight months
of the fiscal year. Anderson
County as a whole collected
about 8.5% more this year
than last at $846,650 through
February. The City of Garnett
brought in a 3.5 percent
increase over the year so far
with its cent tax notching
$187,620.
Most other taxing entities
in the region showed modest
but positive gains as well for
the year to date. Allen County
with a 1.25 percent tax was up
2.2 percent to $1.4 million, and
Iolas 1 percent tax brought in
an extra 2.5 percent this year
to $809,000.
Franklin Countys 1.5
percent yield was virtually
unchanged for the same period a year ago at .1 percent to
$3.1 million. Ottawas year-todate figures were skewed by
its move in July 2016 to 1.6 percent, but totaled $2.5 million so
far this fiscal year.
Miami County (1.5 percent)
was up 1.7 percent to $3.6 million, with Paola (1.25 percent)
up 2.9 percent to $1.2 million.
Osawatomie at 1 percent was
down 5.5 percent to $159,000.
Louisburgs 1.25 percent tax
yielded a slight .9 percent
increase to $768,000.
Coffey County has no sales
tax, but Burlingtons 2 percent tax yielded a near even
total compared to a year ago
of $608,000. Linn County also
has no sales tax, but Parkers 2
percent assessment brought in
9.5 percent more than last year
at $44,000. Pleasantons 1 percent tax yielded a 3.2 percent
decline to $108,000, and Mound
Citys 1 percent tax brought in
7.7 percent more than last year
at $92,000.

Carla Ewert
The Four Winds Chapter of
the National Society Daughters
of the American Revolution
(NSDAR) recently presented the prestigious DAR Good
Citizens Award to Bethany
Powls, a senior at Anderson
County High School and the
daughter of Mark and Carmen
Powls. The award was presented at a recent meeting of the
Four Winds Chapter, NSDAR,
and is one of the ways the DAR
supports education and recognizes outstanding young people
in our community. Recipients
must exhibit the qualities
of good citizenship in their
homes, schools, and communities and demonstrate dependability, service, leadership, and
patriotism.
Bethany was nominated by an administrator,
guidance counselor, teachers at Anderson County
High School and her pastor.
Recommendation letters touted
her dedication to academics and
involvement in extracurricular
activities, which include active
participation in the community band, Anderson County
marching band and concert
band. Recently Bethany was
selected all three of her eligible
years for the Kansas All State
Choir and received a medal for
this accomplishment. Outside
of school, Bethany teaches
Sunday school for 4th
and
5th graders and is the head of
the church nursery. Bethany
serves the community by helping organizations with special
projects with special interest
for the Garnett Public Library
serving in library camps and
childrens programs. The DAR
Good Citizens Award may be
awarded to a senior student
in an Anderson County high
school. As the recipient of the
award for Anderson County
High School, Bethany received
a certificate, pin, and Four
Winds Chapter check for her
winning essay. Bethanys
application was selected to
compete in the statewide DAR
Good Citizens Contest.
Bethany read her American
History essay at the Four Winds
Chapter meeting on March 1,
2018, Our American Heritage
and Our Responsibility for
Preserving It, How has
America advanced the cause
of freedom in the rest of the
world. Bethanys final statement reads, As a whole,
whether influenced directly or
indirectly, the American society stands as a reminder to all
that freedom is an achievable
right of humanity. Since the
time of the pilgrims seeking
refuge on a new land to the
foreigners, immigrants, and
refugees of todays world, the
cause of freedoms is brightest
in the United States. It is a
light that illuminates the darkness of oppression and slavery
and encourages those without
equal opportunity to recognize
the inherent right of all people
to be free.
The Daughters of the
American Revolution is a nonprofit, nonpolitical womens
volunteer service organization
dedicated to promoting historic preservation, education,
and patriotism. Any woman 18
years of age or over who can
prove descent from a man or
woman who gave military or
civil service.

The death of the

New warnings about precription med poisonings
TOPEKA Did you know that
last year nearly 60 percent of
the human exposures reported
to the Kansas Poison Control
Center involved medications or
pharmaceuticals?
Most over-the-counter and
prescription medicines can be
helpful when taken as directed.
However, when not taken properly, medicines can be harmful, and in some cases deadly.
Medication errors can occur
at any age, which is why its
important for everyone to be
aware of proper medicine safety.
Any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, can
be poisonous when used in the
wrong way, by the wrong person, or in the wrong amount,
said Cherie Sage from Safe Kids
Kansas. Be sure to read labels
carefully and follow directions.
If you have questions, contact
your doctor, pharmacist, or
call the Poison Help line for
information.
Its important for everyone
to save the Poison Help line
in your phone, 1-800-222-1222,
said Stefanie Baines from
Kansas Poison Control Center.
This is the fastest way to get
an answer from an expert. Its
far better than going online to
find help, and you can call any
time with questions, not just
during emergencies.
By taking a few precautions,
you can help keep you and your
loved ones safe from poison
emergencies
Children:
As we know, young children are curious and act fast.
Therefore, its vital to use and
store medicine around children properly:
Always store medicines up,
away, and out of sight of children.
Read each medicines label
and always give as directed
(use the dosing device that
comes with the medicine) or
as instructed by a physician or
pharmacist.
The personal letter may soon
go the way of the dinosaur or
the Edsel automobile extinction.
Maybe because of the time
it takes to write a hand-written
letter, this type of communication isnt as popular as it once
was. Thats why people who
receive such letters cherish
them so.
The best letters are
hand-written with a fountain
pen. Sometimes the handwriting is smooth with the letters
beautifully shaped and spaced.
My mother wrote letters
filled with such penmanship.
Legibility marked her every
word.
As Mom grew older, her
writing became a bit less beautiful. I used to become a little
melancholy when Id see the
envelope shes addressed to me
arrive in the mail. But once I
opened the envelope and began
reading, my mood changed to
joy.
My mother wrote a wonderful letter filled with news
about what Dad and she were
doing. Whether theyd received
rain. Father Walshes Sunday
sermon or the condition of her
garden.
It was jam-packed with
details and provided me with
updates about my family and

their animals. I learned about
my aunts and uncles, neighbors
I grew up with, or how many
quarts of tomatoes shed finished canning for the upcoming
winter.
Once upon a time, a letter
was sent as a personal message
from one person to another. Its
unfortunate more of us dont
communicate this way anymore.
I consider it a real gift to
receive a letter written in conversational form intended just
for me.
A couple weeks ago, I
received such a letter from a
friend in Sedgwick County,
Kent Winter, who farms northwest of Wichita near Andale.
The envelope was also penned
in Winters hand.
The letter opened with (salutation), Good morning John,
and continued in his easy, flowing style. The message of the
letter focused on Kents oldest
son, Alan, and news of his education in the seminary at St.
Michaels Abbey in Silverado,
Calif. Alan continues in the
preliminary phase of becoming
a member of the Norbertine
Order.
Consider the news about
his son Kent related to me in
just this one paragraph. Think
about how much else I learned
in his entire message to me.
Personal letters are special.
I have a box of them tucked
away in my birch- wood desk in
the study of our home. Another
bunch of contemporary letters
clutter one of the kitchen drawers where our portable phone
sometimes hides out.
A treasured letter will last a
lifetime. Letters are a form of
communication that allow the
writer to reveal some of his/her
most personal thoughts. These
thoughts may be critiqued
and scrutinized time and time
again before some letters are
even mailed.
In a letter the subject matter is specific. Individual topics
may be addressed. The writers personal self surfaces in a
hand-written letter.
Often, people write from
their hearts, as well as their
minds, in their letters. What
may appear trite to a disinterested third party makes sense
to the person who receives the
personal message.
Personal letters may not
make sense to anyone else, but
the two parties involved usually understand every word,
sentence, paragraph and page.
And, oh, how wonderful it is to
sit down in your favorite chair
and read through a personal
letter intended just for you.
If you are one of those people who enjoy receiving a
hand-written letter, think of
how one of your close friends or
loved ones might enjoy hearing
from you in the same form.
Write to someone you know
and care about soon. Lets keep
this personal form of communication alive.
Better yet, lets revitalize a
treasured tradition.

Word has been received of
the death of Bob Roush, 64,

New 4-H license plates support Kansas 4-H
MANHATTAN, KAN. Kansans may now purchase
a 4-H distinctive license plate
in county treasurers offices
across the state. The official
4-H license plate reflects the
Head, Heart, Hands and Health
in the 4-H pledge.
The iconic clover logo was
selected by club members
across the state as the official
plate design.
It was important to involve
youth club members in this historic process, Jake Worcester,
Kansas
4-H
Foundation
President/CEO, said.
We partnered with 4-H club
leaders and K-State Research
and Extension agents and used
this opportunity to engage
youth in learning more about
the legislative process. When
it came to the design, there
was no question 4-H members
needed to choose the look of the
plate, Worcester said.
HB2174 was signed by
Kansas 4-H alumnus Gov.
Sam Brownback in April 2017.
Rep. Ken Rahjes, another
Kansas 4-H alumnus, introduced the bill in the Kansas
House of Representatives.
Kansas 4-H Youth Leadership
Council member Marissa
Randel testified in support of
the measure before the House
Transportation Committee.
Following the signing of the
bill, more than 500 individuals
across the state signed a form
in support of the license plate,
which allowed for production
of the plate to begin.
The overwhelming statewide support of this initiative
speaks to the pride Kansans
have in our 4-H program. We
have one of the strongest 4-H
youth development programs
in the nation. This license plate
is a way to show support for the
youth who pledge their head,
heart, hands and health to bettering our communities, country and world, Worcester said.
Were excited to see clover
plates throughout the state.
To purchase a plate during
the standard registration
renewal process, residents will
be asked to pay a one-time distinctive plate fee and make an
annual $50 tax-deductible contribution which will be divided three ways. The county
where the plate was purchased
receives $10. The Kansas 4-H
program receives $30 for marketing and growth initiatives,
and the Kansas 4-H Foundation
receives $10 to defray administrative costs associated with
the program.

Garnett Community Foundation to host 5K
Food assistance
supports rural and Color Splat! Run – April 21st at Lake Garnett
urban communities
MANHATTAN, Kan. -With talks underway in the
nations capital on the 2018
Farm Bill, one of the topics
under discussion is SNAP,
the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program, formerly
known as food stamps. The
program is considered the
nations first line of defense
against hunger in communities large and small, and is
funded through the farm bill.
SNAP provides access to
healthy food and nutrition
education for low-income families and individuals across
the U.S. and in Kansas,
said Sandy Procter, extension specialist and assistant
professor in Kansas State
Universitys Department of
Food, Nutrition, Dietetics
and Health. It benefits elderly persons, low income persons even if they are working,
unemployed households and
households with disabled persons. Its been called the cornerstone of the nations nutrition safety net and effectively
prevents hunger and household food insecurity in Kansas
and the U.S.
With a total federal outlay of
$70.8 billion in fiscal year 2016,
SNAP accounted for 51 percent of the U.S. Department of
Agricultures annual budget,
according to a January, 2018
USDA-Economic Research
Service report. About 14 percent of all Americans participated in the program each
month in 2016.
A five-year study showed
that 15.8 percent of SNAP participants across the country
lived in rural areas, 15.3 percent in small towns, and 12.6
percent lived in larger metropolitan areas, according to
the Food Research and Action
Center, a nonprofit organization focused on poverty-related hunger.
The study also showed that
8.6 percent of Kansas SNAP
recipients lived in rural areas,
11.2 percent lived in small
towns and 8.6 percent were in
metropolitan areas.
SNAP benefits are important to communities big and
small, urban and rural, said
Procter, who coordinates the
Kansas SNAP Education program.
With a focus on improving the nutritional health of
low-income Kansans, she and
a team of K-State Research and
extension family and consumer science agents, specialists
and nutrition educators work
with people who qualify for or
receive SNAP benefits on such
topics as cooking with limited resources, understanding
food labels, food safety, meal
planning, nutrition and obesity prevention. The program
is active in 75 of Kansass 105
counties.
Procter said a common misunderstanding about SNAP
is that people stay on food
assistance for long periods of
time, but research shows that
50 percent of all new SNAP
recipients will leave the program within nine months as
they become more financially
stable.
According to the USDAs
Economic Research Service,
each $1 billion of retail generated by SNAP creates $340 million in farm production, $110
million in farm value-added
and 3,300 farm jobs, she said.
Additionally, every $1 billion
of SNAP benefits creates 8,900
to 17,900 full-time jobs.
I think it is important to
know that roughly 80 percent
of the Farm Bill is funding
for nutrition-related programs, said Procter, adding
that such programs as SNAP,
WIC (Women, Infants and
Children) and 13 others, are
not only important to those
who receive the benefits, but
also to all communities due
to the economic benefits they
provide across the U.S.

intensive topic, what major
questions should parents and
students answer? Below are
five that we at the Kansas
Insurance Department think
are most appropriate. The
questions may seem a bit negative, but knowing the answers
will provide for a better positive outcome for both students
and parents.
What if I have an auto
accident?
Make it easier to report
an accident. Installing the
WreckCheck mobile smartphone application, a free
application from the National
Association of Insurance
Commissioners, gives both
students and parents an out-
line of what to do immediately following any vehicle accident. The free app helps you
create an accident report.
But before an accident
occurs, check with your local
agent about the current vehicle insurance policy for the
vehicle the student is driving.
If you ask about the rates for
the colleges city, that may
help you decide whether to
keep the students car on the
familys auto policy or place it
in the students name.
How can I save some money
on car insurance?
Make sure your insurance
company is notified each
semester if your student maintains good grades. Getting a
good student discount on
the vehicles premium saves
money. You might also consider whether carrying liability
coverage-only is an option.
What if somebody breaks
into my rental apartment?
Know that your landlord
doesnt protect your personal
property. You should realize
that a landlords insurance
policy doesnt cover a renters personal belongings.
Purchasing rental insurance is, for the most part, an
affordable way to protect your
belongings.
Also, make sure to take photos or video of the possessions,
and store an inventory list in
a secure location. Smartphone
users can add the myHOMEScr.APP.book application from
the NAIC.
What if my identity
is stolen?
Know the limits of identity
theft insurance. With constant
cybersecurity concerns, identity theft coverage is certainly
a consideration. Identity theft
insurance is limited, however.
It cant protect parents or students from becoming victims
of identity theft, and it doesnt
cover your direct financial
losses. It does provide coverage for the cost of reclaiming
a persons financial identity,
such as making phone calls,
making copies, mailing documents, taking time off from
work without pay, and hiring
an attorney.
The primary policyholder
of your homeowners policy
should check first to see if the
policy includes identity theft
insurance while the student is
away from the family home. If
a student is renting an apartment, ask if his/her renters
insurance covers identity
theft, or if that could be added
to the policy.
What if I get ill or have an
injury accident?
Realize health insurance
options. Nearly all young
adults up to age 26 can now
stay on their parents health
insurance plans because of
current federal health laws.
At school, students should
have copies of their insurance
cards and know how or where
to seek medical treatment.
If a student is insured
through a company with
a network of medical providers, check to see if he/
she will be in or out of the
network service area while
at school. That will make a
difference in how much you
or your student will have to
pay for out-of-pocket charges.
Routine dental care and eye
care may not be included as
part of a health insurance
plan. Also, health insurance
plans may not cover expenses
related to periodic eye examinations, glasses or contact
lenses, but most will cover
medical care as a result of an
eye disease or injury. Check
your exclusions.

Bee shortage inspires boys passion to start his own hive
BY MELISSA HOBBS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – Gabe Berry, of Colony,
said he got interested in raising bees
a couple of years ago when he read
that they were endangered, and he
wanted to do his part. Scientists say
that without bees, our life on earth
wouldnt be the same, and may not
be possible at all. That concerned
Berry.
The 14 year-old began reading
everything he could get his hands
on and watched YouTube videos to
teach him what was involved in
having bees. He begged his parents
to buy him a hive, but they thought
it was just a passing phase that hed
grow out of. They were wrong.
One year later, Berry still hadnt
given up his passion to help the
bees. His grandpa, Richard Buckle,
found out about a local beekeepers group that holds monthly meetings and decided to take Berry to
the meetings. The pair went to the
Golden Prairie Beekeepers meeting
and Berry says they played a big
part in him starting his beehive.
It was at the meetings that
Berry met one of his mentors, Jim
Mersman. Berry convinced his parents to buy him a hive and the necessary equipment he would need to
care for the bees. It was Mersman
who brought him a swarm of bees

that had separated from one of his
own hives. With help from Mersman
and fellow Colony bee keeper Brian
Miller, Berry has one thriving hive.
I wouldnt have been able
to start without their help, says
Berry. Im grateful for their help
because theres so much to learn
about. Berry says there is so much
to worry about when caring for bees
that he never expected. You can do
one little thing wrong and the whole
hive can die, or leave, said Berry.
Although most beekeepers are
lucky if they are able to get honey
from their hive the second year,
Berrys bees thrived enough that
he was able to get honey his very
first summer. He was able to sell
the honey and the products he made
with the honey at the Colony Day
event to pay for the equipment his
parents had bought him.
He says most people are probably concerned about having bees
because theyre afraid of getting
stung, but he says thats definitely
not the hardest part. He says in the
year hes had bees hes only been
stung twice, and it wasnt a big deal.
The hardest part, he says, is knowing if something is wrong with the
hive. Berry says he has to watch
his bees to keep track of changes in
their behavior and monitor inside
the hive, so he can get an early start
on things if something is upsetting
the hive.
Berry says people shouldnt be
afraid to raise bees if its something
theyre interested in. Find a mentor and do your homework, he said.
Berry also said if raising bees isnt
your thing, but youd like to help the
bee population, he says making a
donation to a beekeeper or planting
wild flowers is a good place to start.
Having bees is expensive, said
Berry. Most beekeepers would love
to be able to add another hive or buy
more equipment to care for them, so
donations are always good. But the
bees love flowers too.
With his first winter behind him,
and his bees busy again with the
warm temperatures, Berry hopes
to expand his hive and add a second to his business. He hopes to be
able to sell more honey at Colony
Day this year. Last year he sold out
of everything he had including his
homemade lotion bars, lip balms,
and soaps.

Make it a safe spring planting season
Long hours, less-than-ideal
weather conditions and working
around large machinery combine
to make farming one of the most
dangerous occupations in the
United States. This spring planting season slow down and ensure
you and your family members
stay safe.
During 2017, 10 deaths were
reported in farm and ranch incidents in Kansas. The youngest
fatality involved a nine-year-old
extra rider on a tractor who fell
off and was caught in the mowing
attachment.
The oldest occurred when an
82-year-old male passenger died
from injuries after being thrown
during a tractor rollover. Tractor
overturns remain the single
greatest cause of death to young
farm workers under the age of
25 and to older workers over the
age of 55, according to statistics
from the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health.
The most effective way to prevent tractor overturn deaths is
the use of a Roll-Over Protective
INSIGHT
JOHN SCHLAGECK, Kansas Farm Bureau
Structure (ROPS). In 2012, 59 percent of tractors used on farms in
the United States were equipped
with ROPS. If ROPS were
placed on all tractors used on
U.S. farms manufactured since
the mid-1960s, the prevalence of
ROPS-equipped tractors could be
increased to more than 80 percent.
Growing up and working on
the farm instills a life-long love
of agriculture, but as adults and
parents, we must make sure
everyone on the farm is safe.
On average, 113 youth less than
20 years of age die annually from

Beckman Motors
farm-related injuries (1995 -2002),
with most of these deaths occurring to youth 16-19 years of age.
Of the leading sources of fatal
injuries to youth, 23 percent
involved machinery (including
tractors), 19 percent involved
motor vehicles (including ATVs),
and 16 percent drowned.
Riders on tractors remain
another major cause of injuries
and deaths on the farm. No riders
should be allowed on a tractor
unless it is equipped with a manufacturer-approved second seat,
according to the National Safety
Council.
Farmers, parents, children and
the American public must understand, once and for all, that anyone other than the operator of a
farm tractor should not be on the
tractor period. Any rider is at
tremendous risk to be seriously
injured or killed.
Always be aware of surroundings and think ahead. Look out for
potential hazards. Notice power
lines before moving ladders or
other farm equipment. Turn off
that combine before removing
weeds and other debris.
One cardinal rule to remember always keep children out
of the workplace. That means
away from machinery, storage
bins and fields anywhere they
are in harms way.
Always be prepared for an
emergency. Enroll in safety classes, especially CPR and first aid.
Carry safety kits in your farm
vehicles. Make sure you have
them in your home and sheds.
Above all, take a little extra
time this upcoming spring planting season. Make a genuine commitment to safe preparation.
Your health and that of your family depend on the safe operation
of your farm equipment during
this busy season.

Perennial plants have deep

because New York state farmers

Many perennial grains also

Gold, a blonde ale made by Bang

Zachary Golper, owner of Bien

Teachers encouraged to apply to Corns Seed to STEM workshops
By Sue Schulte
Science teachers will receive
free STEM-based training and
materials at the Seed to STEM
summer workshops sponsored
by Kansas Corn. This is the
third year of the popular two-day
workshops that provide classroom instruction and labs using
the topics of biotechnology and
ethanol to bring science to life
in high school and middle school
classrooms. The deadline for science teachers to apply for the
workshops is April 24. The twoday workshops will be held June
20-21 in Ottawa and June 26-27 in
Wichita.
We have had a lot of interest,
but still have spaces available for
both workshops. We encourage
teachers to apply before the April
24 deadline, said Sharon Thielen,
the Kansas Corn Commissions
Director of Education. We work
with eight Kansas lead science
teachers who not only help teach
the workshops, they are instrumental in creating the lessons
and labs.
Over the past two years, 95
science educators have complet-

using agriculture as a focus. In
addition to lessons and lab experiments focused on biotechnology and ethanol, the workshop
includes a farm and field visit,
an industry dinner and a field
trip to an ethanol plant. Each
science teacher who participates
will walk away with valuable lab
materials.
There is an incredible amount
of technology and science used in
agriculture and the corn industry. We want to help teachers
find ways to get students excited about science using corn
and agriculture as a platform,
Kansas Corn Commission CEO
Greg Krissek said. In addition
to providing the Seed to STEM
workshops at no cost to teachers,
the Kansas Corn Commission is
supporting science education in
our schools by giving each Seed
to STEM teacher lab materials
worth $500.
The 2018 Seed to STEM workshops will feature new and
updated labs. Each teacher will
practice fourteen labs or activ-
ities that they can use in the
classroom to help students learn
about science in agriculture. At
this years workshops, teachers
will have the option to choose
between a middle school and high
school lab track. Labs will be
focused on topics like corn exploration, corn fermentation, ethanol distillation, pipetting skills,
plasmid modeling, GFP, soil,
nutrient testing, DNA extraction,
GMOs, DNA sentencing, weather
and more. The labs will be taught
by Kansas teachers who were
selected from the 2017 and 2016
Seed to STEM workshops.
We are excited to share the
talents of our Kansas Seed to
STEM lead teachers who have
been involved in the development of new curriculum for this
years workshops, Thielen said.
We are also bringing experts in
agronomy and ethanol into our
workshops to provide insights
and information as the participants are learning.
The first day of Seed to STEM
begins in classroom labs and
ends with a farm tour and dinner
on the farm. The second day of
the workshop completes the lab
activities and wraps up with a
tour of an ethanol plant.
Science teachers are important to us because science is
important to agriculture,
Thielen said. We cover the
teachers on-site expenses, and
we work to give them valuable,
hands-on learning experiences in
the classroom, in the labs, on the
farm and at the ethanol plant.

Fixing soybeans need for nitrogen
Soybean is rich in protein,
which is great for the humans
and animals eating it. But this
high protein content comes at a
cost.
To make protein, soybean
plants need a lot of nitrogen.
The plants get some of the nitrogen they need by working with
specialized bacteria in the soil.
These bacteria live in root nodules. They pull nitrogen from the
atmosphere and convert it to a
form the plants can use.
But this process–biological
nitrogen fixation–may not provide all the nitrogen soybean
crops need. Farmers may have to
apply nitrogen fertilizer as well.
A new study, however, shows
its possible to increase the number of soybean root nodules–and
the bacteria that live there–to
increase crop yields. This could
remove the need to apply additional nitrogen fertilizers. That
opens the possibility of achieving
higher yields of soybean based
exclusively on biological fixation, says Mariangela Hungria,
a researcher at Embrapa Soja,
Brazil.
Hungria, lead author of the
study, and her colleagues coated soybean seeds with the bacteria (the usual method used by
growers). They supplied additional bacteria by spraying it on
the plants during other stages
of growth. Soybean plants that
received the additional spray
inoculation developed more root
nodules. And more nodules led to
higher yields.
In fact, adding bacteria to seeds
increased yields by 27% and 28%.
Spraying bacteria on the soy
fields during growth pushed up
yields even further.
The increase in root nodules
after additional spray inoculation
surprised Hungria and her colleagues. Previous research indicated that each nodule makes it
more difficult for soybean plants
to develop subsequent ones. But
in this study, soybean plants
were able to form new nodules
when researchers provided more
bacteria.
To discover that nodules
arent regulated as strictly as
previously thought is an important finding, says Hungria. The
limitation happens particularly at the beginning of soybean
growth when the first nodules
appear. After that initial stage,
more nodule growth is possible.
More biological nitrogen fixation, and less nitrogen through
fertilizer, can also increase sustainability. First, it reduces carbon emissions. Nitrogen fertilizers are usually produced using
fossil fuels. For every pound of
nitrogen fertilizer manufactured,
at least 10 pounds of carbon dioxide may be released, Hungria
states.
The second improvement in
sustainability is on the field.
Excess nitrogen fertilizers from
the field can flow into bodies of
water. Too much in an aquatic ecosystem can cause algal
blooms. These deplete the water
of oxygen and lead to dead
zones devoid of life. Biological
fixation using bacteria, however,
means more of the nitrogen is
used by the crop.
Less fertilizer use also has an
economic impact. Nitrogen fertilizer costs can add up quickly,
both for farmers and for coun-

tries. Brazil imports about 70%
of the nitrogen fertilizers used in
the country.
Several farms in Brazil began
using the studys strategy in
October 2016 (the summer crop
in Brazil). Initial results have
been promising, says Hungria.
The higher soybean yields seen
in the study are sustained on
these larger scales.
Hungria thinks these results
will extend beyond Brazil as
well. But they have to be verified because the genetic background of soybean is different
in each country, she says.
Collaborations with Kansas State
University, to verify if the results
can be extended to the U.S., have
just started.
Researching bacteria and
nitrogen fixation may just be the
beginning. I think microorganisms can be the stars of a new
era of agriculture, in which we
consider not only food security
but also sustainability, she says.
USDA: Farm debt service
ratio forecast to stabilize
The farm sector debt service
ratio measures the share of
agricultural production used
for debt payments. It provides a
way to assess the farm sectors
ability to make scheduled interest and principal payments on
farm debt when they are due.
A higher debt service ratio
implies a greater share of production income is needed to
make debt payments, suggesting lower liquidity (the amount
of capital readily available as
cash).
Following record-level agricultural production in 2013,
the debt service ratio in 2012
and 2013 was at its lowest level
since 1962 at 20 percent.
The ratio then increased
year-over-year to 26 percent in
2016. ERS forecasts the debt service ratio to increase slightly to
27 percent in 2017 and 2018, as
debt payments have increased
and the value of agricultural
production has declined since
2013.
However, the ratio remains
well below the peak in 1983 even
as farm sector debt approaches
levels seen in the 1980s.
Declining interest rates have
helped to keep debt payments
low, and the value of agricultural production has increased
38 percent since 2002, after
adjusting for inflation.
As a result, the debt service
ratio is now near its 2002 value
and its 35-year historical average.

Roberts to trade rep: We need proactive markets, not reactive
At a hearing of the Senate
Finance Committee on the
administrations trade agenda, U.S. Senator Pat Roberts
(R-Kan.) called on U.S. Trade
Representative Robert Lighthizer
to proactively pursue new markets for agriculture producers
who continue to suffer with persistent low prices and surpluses.
In the last year, the United
States has lost its title as a reliable
supplier, Roberts said. Weve
seen Mexico turn to Argentina
to purchase wheat and Brazil for
corn. These should be sales with
the U.S.–not other countries.
In case you were not aware, we
still have grain on the ground in
Kansas.
Roberts gave a farm report
outlining difficulties facing
Kansas farmers reading from
an Associated Press summary
of crop conditions for the week
ending Sunday: The latest government crop report estimates
that more than half of the winter
wheat crop in Kansas is in poor
or very poor condition, Roberts
said. The National Agriculture
Statistics Service reported
Monday that 17 percent of the
Kansas wheat is in very poor condition with another 38 percent is
rated as poor. About 34 percent is
rated as fair with just 10 percent
in good and 1 percent in excellent condition. That assessment
comes at the same time that topsoil moisture supplies were rated
as short or very short across 81
percent of the state.
Roberts quoted Ray Starling,
special assistant to the president for agriculture, trade and
food assistance who said, To
the extent that other countries
want to punish our farmers for
insistence on free and reciprocal
trade, then obviously we plan to
examine that on a case-by-case
basis, as those threats materialize. We will do everything within
our power to protect our farmers from that sort of egregious
behavior.
Roberts went on to examine U.S. Trade Representative
Lighthizers similar remarks
before the House Ways and
Means Committee yesterday
where Lighthizer said, You
have to think about counter-retaliation, you have to think about
programs for farmers who are in
this situation. I mean theres a
lot of things that are outside of
my realm that have to be considered.
Roberts said, Ambassador
Lighthizer, my message to you
is simple: in 2018, USTRs trade
agenda must include a focus
on returning the United States
to reliable supplier status, and
USTR must actively pursue new
markets to sell our products.
Roberts is also actively working on the 2018 farm bill, which
will strive to provide certainty
to farmers and producers across
all agricultural sectors and
regions of the country. During
field hearings held earlier this
Congress, farmers testified about
the need for continued strong
export opportunities as well as
business certainty from regulatory reform.
Roberts is an outspoken advocate for increasing access to global markets for Americas farmers and ranchers. He is chairman of the Senate Committee
on Agriculture, Nutrition and
Forestry.
KDA seeks beef genetics for trade mission to Argentina
The Kansas Department of
Agriculture is seeking individuals to participate in a beef genetics trade mission to Argentina
from July 24 to Aug. 1, 2018. In an
effort to increase market opportunities for U.S. and Kansas beef
genetics, this provides an opportunity for Kansas purebred beef
cattle producers and allied industry to develop relationships with
livestock producers in Argentina.
Attendees will interact with
breeders and promote the use of
U.S. beef genetics while attending Exposicin Rural (Palermo),
the major Argentinian livestock
show. Kansas ranchers and related agribusinesses specializing in
2×3
beachner grain
the export of Angus and Hereford
genetics are invited to participate.
This trade mission is funded in part by the United States
Livestock Genetics Export, Inc.
Selected participants will be eligible for travel stipends for airfare depending upon number of
applicants and fund availability.
Participants will be responsible
for the cost of hotels, meals and
other incidental expenses.
KDA strives to encourage and
enhance economic growth of
the agriculture industry and the
Kansas economy by exploring
and expanding both domestic and
international marketing oppor-
tunities. In 2016, Kansas exported
more than $474,000 in agricultural commodities to Argentina.
Individuals interested in participating in the trade mission
should complete the application
forms on the KDA website at

Governors Drought Declaration assists farmers and ranchers
By: P.J. Griekspoor
Governor Jeff Colyer has
signed a drought declaration for
all 105 counties in the state of
Kansas to provide assistance to
farmers and ranchers as they
cope with the impact the drought
will continue to have on crops
and livestock.
Governor Jeff Colyer has
signed a drought declaration for
all 105 counties in the state of
Kansas to provide assistance to
farmers and ranchers as they
cope with the impact the drought
will continue to have on crops
and livestock.
This action activates the disaster response efforts at the state
level and provides authority
for the deployment and use of
personnel, supplies, equipment,
materials or facilities available
to aid the drought response.
Importantly, this declaration
will temporarily suspend certain
motor carrier rules and regulations in order to expedite efforts
to transport hay to livestock in
drought-stricken areas.
In addition, the Governor
issued letters to the Kansas State
Executive Director of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture Farm
Service Agency and all county
executive directors to encourage
them to act quickly to review the
situation on the ground and consider making a request to permit
the use of acres enrolled in the
Conservation Reserve Program
for haying and grazing. Granting
access to CRP acres would provide critical forage resources for
Kansas livestock, and would also
reduce potential fuel loads to aid
in fire suppression.
Secretary of Agriculture Jackie
McClaskey attended the signing
of the drought declaration. We
are hopeful this early collaboration with our federal partners
will allow for immediate relief to
Kansas farmers and ranchers,
she said, and we are committed
to continuing to work with all of
our partners through the duration of the current drought.
At this time, 57 counties in the
state of Kansas are at D2 (severe)
or D3 (extreme) drought lev-

els. The U.S. Drought Monitor,
used to track drought across the
United States, identifies general
areas of drought and labels them
by intensity. The Kansas Drought
Response team utilizes this data
along with projections from other
sources to make recommendations about necessary action for
drought conditions. See the latest
from the U.S. Drought Monitor at

Agriculture makes up 45 percent of the states economy, and
contributes $68 billion to our
state. When the state experiences a drought, it can impact each
and every Kansan, and KDA will
continue to work with farmers
and ranchers and all of our partners in agriculture to help provide access to the resources they
need to cope with crop losses and
impacts on livestock.

Crop Block Grant Program
(SCBGP). Funds for the program are awarded to the agency by the U.S. Department of
Agricultures
Agricultural
Marketing Service (USDA
AMS). The funds are in turn
granted to projects and organizations that promote the competitiveness of specialty crops
by achieving defined performance measures.
The Kansas Department of
Agriculture is accepting applications for the 2018 Specialty
Crop Block Grant Program
(SCBGP). Funds for the program are awarded to the agency by the U.S. Department of
Agricultures
Agricultural
Marketing Service (USDA
AMS). The funds are in turn
granted to projects and organizations that promote the competitiveness of specialty crops
by achieving defined perfor-
mance measures.
The purpose of the specialty crop program is to enhance
the competitiveness of specialty crops. Specialty crops are
defined by the USDA as fruits,
vegetables, tree nuts, dried
fruits, horticulture, and nursery
crops, including floriculture.
Each state that applies to
participate in the SCBGP
is reviewed and approved by
USDAAMS and will receive an
estimated base amount plus an
amount based on the value of
specialty crop cash receipts and
the acreage of specialty crop
production in the state. In 2018
it is expected that Kansas will
receive approximately $348,850.
Applications from Kansas
organizations and projects will
be evaluated by a team of external reviewers. The team will
rate proposals on their ability to
successfully promote specialty
crops in Kansas and make a positive impact on the Kansas economy. Those recommendations
2×3
diversified products
will be submitted to the Kansas
Secretary of Agriculture, who
will make the final awards.
Applications are due to KDA

This grant opportunity supports the development of partnerships and resources that will
grow the Kansas specialty crop
industry, which is the growth
objective for that sector within
the Kansas agricultural growth
strategy project. For more information about the Kansas Ag
Growth project or about specialty crops in Kansas, go to www.

Group presents NAFTA message on Capitol Hill: Mend it or end it
R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard
participated on a panel on Capitol
Hill sponsored by the Coalition
for a Prosperous America (CPA)
to discuss the ongoing North
American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA)
renegotiations.
Panelists also included Zachary
Mottl, Chief Alignment Officer of
Atlas Tool; Keigan Mull, Trade
Counsel for the House Committee
on Ways and Means; and Mike
Dolan, Trade Policy Specialist
for the Teamsters.
Bullard told the audience
of
congressional
staffers,
Administration representatives,
domestic manufacturers, organized labor, and other agriculturalists that if substantial reforms
cannot be made to reverse the
cattle and beef trade deficit, as
well as the deficit in all other
agricultural and related products, NAFTA should be ended.
Using a series of slides, Bullard
first presented the evidence used
by NAFTA supporters who are
pushing back on the Trump
Administrations efforts to make
substantive changes to NAFTA.
He said most of agricultures
corporate-aligned groups point
only to the fact that U.S. exports
of agricultural products have
increased fourfold since NAFTA,
increasing from about $10 billion
to over $40 billion.
This, they say, is proof positive that NAFTA should only
be tweaked, without making any
substantive changes, he said.
However, Bullard charges
that NAFTA supporters are purposely withholding information
about the corresponding rise in
imports, which he said have offset the gains made by exports.
As a result of imports increasing faster than exports, the U.S.
trade deficit with Canada and
Mexico in the trade of agricultural and related products increased
from a negative $2 billion prior to
NAFTA to a negative $18 billion
today.
This ninefold increase in the
trade deficit with Canada and
Mexico is weakening Americas
rural economy, which also weakens our overall economy.
For the past four years the
trade deficit in the trade of cattle
and beef has exceeded $2 billion,
which puts tremendous downward pressure on the economic
Kansas cattle on feed up 6 percent
Kansas feedlots, with capacities of 1,000 or more head, contained 2.35 million cattle on feed
on March 1, according to the
USDAs National Agricultural
Statistics Service. This inventory was up 6 percent from last
year.
Placements during February
totaled 420,000 head, up 11 percent from 2017.
Fed cattle marketings for
the month of February totaled
380,000 head, up 3 percent from
last year.
Other disappearance during
February totaled 10,000 head,
unchanged from last year.

strength of the U.S. cattle industry, which is the largest segment
of American agriculture, he
said.
Bullard contends the domestic
sheep industry, which saw its
domestic production decline by
more than half because of imbalanced trade, predicts the future
of the domestic cattle industry if NAFTA and other trade
agreements are not substantially
changed.
Bullards charts reveal that
during NAFTAs tenure, the
number of U.S. cattle operations
declined 20 percent, the number
of U.S. feedlots declined 75 percent, the U.S. cattle herd size
fell to the lowest level in over
70 years, and the production of
domestic beef fell to the lowest
level since before NAFTA was
implemented.
The substantive changes
Bullard wants to see in NAFTA
to reverse the decline of the U.S.
cattle industry include the immediate reinstatement of mandatory country-of-origin labeling
(COOL) so U.S. consumers can
choose to buy beef produced
from U.S. farmers and ranchers,
implementation of tariffs on beef,
cattle, sheep and lamb for countries that maintain persistent
trade surpluses in these products, modification of NAFTAs
rule of origin to reserve the U.S.
label only for beef from animals
born, raised and slaughtered in
the U.S.; and, the inclusion of
special safeguards to protect the
supply-sensitive cattle industry
from import surges.
