TOPEKA Food assistances to more than 400 households in Anderson County
is now in peril due to a continued denial by Governor
Laura Kelly to provide
data USDA has requested
in order to monitor the program.
Last weekend the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
suspended some $10.4
million in Supplemental
Nutrition
Assistance
Program funding after multiple warnings to the Kelly
Administration, which so
far has refused to comply
with a federal order to turn
over data on Kansas SNAP
program so USDA can confirm eligibility of participants and other program
requirements.
The issue was the subject of a lawsuit by Kansas
Attorney General Kris
Kobach filed September
8 which sought to compel
Kelly to release the information as required by
Kansas law, which says
the state government shall
provide
any report
required
by the federal government.
According
to
a
September
20
letKelly ter from
U S D A
Deputy Undersecretary
of Food, Nutrition, and
Consumer Services Patrick
Penn, the Kelly administration failed to comply by a
Sept. 19 deadline and therefore Food and Nutrition
Services (FNS) disallowed
a payment of about $10.4
million to the State of
Kansas. Kellys office said
the governor will appeal
the order which will temporarily keep the money
flowing until the appeal
is heard. Kobach placed
the debacle squarely on

Corn harvest looking
good if rain will vamoose
Reports as high as
140 Bu/A mark end
to 23-24 drought
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The corn harvest in Anderson County
may be coming a little late,
but its looking pretty good.
Yields from early cuttings before another spat
of September moisture
paused the 2025 harvest
showed volumes of corn
above last years state average. That was good news
for Garnetts East Kansas
Agri Energy ethanol plant.
Theyre (reports) above
average to really good so
far, said Bill Pracht, CEO
of EKAE. Ive heard of
several 140 plus.
Thats great news considering Kansas planted
about 100,000 less some
6.2 million acres in corn
this year compared to 2024
according to USDA reports.
For the week ending
September 21 USDA said
97% of the corn crop was
in the dented stage with
kernels nearing maturity,
70% was mature and about
20% of the states crop was
estimated to have been harvested. Those numbers are
all a little behind five year
averages, mostly determined by moisture variables across the state in
recent weeks period
Overall The USDAs
September 22nd crop
report showed 4% of the
state crop in very poor condition, 8% poor, 27% fair,
45% good and 16% excellent. The states overall
average was 129 bushel
per acre in 2024. The ag
analysis information network DTN was estimating

Democrat governors political resistance to the Trump
Administration.
We warned that this
would happen when we
filed the lawsuit on behalf
of all Kansans against the
governor, Kobach said in
a press statement Monday.
She is required by Kansas
law to provide this basic
information to the USDA.
Now low-income Kansas
families wont be able to put
food on the table because
of her political defiance,
Kobach said.
USDA numbers from
June 2024 said more than
97,000 households in Kansas
received SNAP benefits
some 187,000 people. Kelly
has called USDAs request
illegal and Kobachs lawsuit political theater.
USDA requested the
information, which included personal information
like names, addresses,
immigration status and
social security numbers, in
an effort to clean up the
SNAP roles and ensure
only qualified recipients
were receiving benefits.
Privacy laws restrict how
much of that data can be
shared. Over the years
broad swaths of abuse have
been reported within the
program. Privacy advocates claim providing that
information could result in
a chilling effect, stopping
some people from applying
for benefits. USDA says its
goal is to increase oversight, ensure funds are
being used properly, and
verify eligibility (including
immigration status) under
executive directives.
Kobach said Kellys
refusal to provide the data
was blatantly political, following the lead of other
Democrat governors who
have contested the presidents policy to ferret out
waste, fraud and abuse
across the scope of the federal government.
The Governor seems
to be blinded by her political ideology., Kobach said.
She is flagrantly violat-
ing Kansas law, and she is
hurting needy Kansans in
the process.
Data from USDA from
2024 showed 449 households
receiving SNAP, formerly
known as Food Stamps, in
Anderson County. Benefits
are available for people
who work but have a low
income and those who are
unemployed, also those
who live together and buy
food together. Household
members do not have to
be related to be considered part of the household.
People age 60 and older and
persons with disabilities
may also be eligible if they
meet income guidelines.
The local data showed
Anderson Countys recipient households down about
3.4 percent from the 465
receiving benefits in 2023
about a 37 percent decrease
in overall benefit payments
from $1.4 million in 2023 to
$931,000 in 2024.
FNS will continue to
disallow future payments
every three months until
Kansas
provides
the
requested
information,
Kobachs office said.
The complete transmission of the required
SNAP enrollment data is
imperative to ensure FNS
and the state agency have
full insight into the SNAP
program integrity, Penns
letter to Kelly reads. In
the absence of data, FNS
and the Department For
Children and Families lack
key information necessary
to ensure effective stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
FNS has already discovered
from states that are complying with this statutory
data sharing requirement
that fraud or duplication in
state distribution of federal
funds has gone unreported
and needs remediation.
Other states have provided USDA the requested
information within a few
days, Kobach said. The only
other state in the country to
be penalized for failure to
provide the information is
Pennsylvania.

OBITUARIES
SMITH
FRITZ
MAY 11, 1929 – SEPTEMBER 16, 2025
Virgil Leland Smith,
Jr., born on May 11, 1929,
in Rockford, Illinois,
passed away peacefully on
September 16, 2025. Son of
Virgil Leland Sr. and Ferne
Harriett (LaForge)
Smith, Virgils early
life was marked by
frequent relocations
that took him across
Oregon, Washington
State, and various
cities in Kansas,
including a fond
teenage chapter in
Richmond, Kansas,
where he labored on
the farm of Phil and Leona
Fanning, who became his
foster parents.
Virgils journey in life
led him to marry Janet
M. Moore on September
28, 1979. Together, they
enjoyed a loving partnership that spanned forty-six
years, filled with shared
experiences and mutual
support. In 1951, he began
his career in the insurance
sector, working initially
with his ex-father-in-law,
Jay Todd, before establishing his own business, which
later expanded to include
a bonding business with
Jan joining him in 1971. His
dedication and expertise in
the field were recognized
when he was nominated for
Insurance Commissioner in
1958, and in 2021, the Kansas
Insurance
Department
honored him with a letter of congratulations for
maintaining an insurance
license since 1951.
A devoted member of the
Trinity United Methodist
Church, Virgil contributed
actively to the congregation
by reading the liturgy and
sharing his voice in the
choir. His varied interests
colored his life vividly; he
found joy in stamp collecting, classical music, and
Sousa marches, often filling his neighborhood with
the sounds of his beloved
military bands. In addition
to his musical pursuits,
Virgil showcased his theatrical talents by portraying
the doctor in Cheaper by
the Dozen at the Ottawa
Area Community Theatre
(A.C.T.) in 1994. He was also
an enthusiastic supporter of
the Kansas City Royals and
Chiefs, proudly cheering for
his teams.
Virgil is survived by his
beloved wife, Jan,
and their family,
which includes
daughter
Sue
E. Harsch of
Garnett, Kansas;
son Mark E.
Smith (Ruth) of
Lenexa, Kansas;
Smith step-sons Tony D.
Moore (Susan) of
Ottawa, Kansas,
and Brian E. Moore of
Princeton, Kansas; sister
Jean Beaird of Thousand
Palms, California; and foster-brother Terry Fanning
(Lillian) of Eskridge,
Kansas. He is also cherished by his granddaughters Lisa Caylor (David)
and Alyse Sykes (Donald);
grandsons Gary Caylor
(Jessica), Adam Caylor
(Caryn), and Jordon Smith
(Samantha); as well as several step-grandchildren,
great-grandchildren, and
numerous nieces and nephews.
Virgil is preceded in
death by his parents, his
foster parents, daughter
Kimberly Jo Smith, brother
Donald Taylor Smith, sisters Charlotte Moore and
Mary Lou Harkness, niece
Tina Marie Thompson, and
nephew Chuck Thompson.
Friends and family gathered September 22, 2025,
at Dengel & Son Mortuary
in Ottawa. Graveside services were September 23,
2025, at Highland Cemetery,
Ottawa, Kansas. Virgil
Leland Smith, Jr. will be
remembered for his loving
spirit, commitment to family, and the indelible mark
he has left on the hearts of
all who had the privilege to
know him.

Rotating crops this fall can set
garden up for success next spring
MANHATTAN, Kan. This
is the gardeners mantra:
Success requires planning.
To give your plants
a healthy start next
year,
says
Kansas
State University horticulture expert Cynthia
Domenghini, the best
practice is to rotate crops
within the same family to
a different location than
where theyre growing this
year.
Crop rotation offers several benefits, according to
Domenghini.
Plants in the same family are typically susceptible
to similar pests, she said.
Domenghini added that
plants in the same family
also have similar nutrient
requirements, so rotating
crops prevents the soil
from becoming depleted of
those nutrients. And, the
varied root system depths
from one plant family to
the next contributes to the
health of the soil, she said.
Now is the perfect time
to make a map of the vegetable garden so you can switch
things up when you plant
next year, Domenghini
said. For example, in the
location where tomatoes
are growing now, avoid
planting anything from the
Solanacaeae family (such
as eggplant, pepper or potato) next year.
Domenghini said a helpful table of common vegetable crop families and examples of how to rotate these
crops is available online in
the Kansas Garden Guide,
published by the K-State
Research and Extension
bookstore.
Domenghini and her
colleagues in K-States
Department of Horticulture
and Natural Resources produce a weekly Horticulture
Newsletter with tips for
maintaining home landscapes and gardens.
Interested persons can
subscribe to the newsletter,
as well as send their garden
and yard-related questions

Sidebar: Question
of the Week
What should I do with
my ornamental sweet potatoes? Are their roots edible?
Ornamental sweet potatoes are prized for their
foliage. The plants are bred
for their aesthetic value, so
although the roots are edible, they tend to be bitter.
If you choose to consume
them, cure for several days
to increase the shelf-life
and flavor.
Ornamental sweet potatoes are grown as annuals
in Kansas, but can be overwintered by digging them
just before the first frost,
and storing until its safe to
plant in the spring. Remove
the above ground growth
and keep the roots in moist
compost, in a cool, dark
room.
Alternately, the entire
plant can be moved indoors
and kept as a houseplant
during the winter. Check
the plant first for signs of
disease or pests. Cut the
vines back to about one foot
and carefully transplant
into the desired container. Keep the plant in an
area with plenty of natural
light until warmer weather
returns in the spring.

The tension between
expectation levels
I cannot speak for anyone but myself, but I fear
I have allowed my expectation level to erode. Like
everything else, there are
two sides to every story. If I
purchase goods or services,
I have a level of satisfaction
I am expecting. Whoever
sells me the goods or services has an expectation
level for their product or
service. I believe we have
allowed this to creep into
our churches as well. Gods
expectation for our lives is
absolute. There is no wiggle
room. In other words, we
have to raise our expectation level to meet the bar
God has set.
What is that bar? Love
the Lord your God and your
neighbor as yourself. Now
immediately when we read
that, we start to think, how
can I soften that just a little? Tailor it just to suit
my needs. Our first thought
is, well I dont know anyone that actually does that.
For a brief moment we
feel some relief. However,
I must point out the consequences of ignoring this
command. Hebrews 10:2627 says, If we deliberately
keep on sinning after we
have received the knowledge of truth, no sacrifice
for sin is left, but only a
fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that
will consume the enemies
of God. That sounds very
harsh for just wanting to
soften our requirement for
salvation. You see, some
people have become so
accustomed to having their
way they believe they can
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
bargain with God.
Expectation is a word
like truth, honesty, integrity and so on that has fallen out of favor, or at least
their original meaning has.
Our personal preference
is surely more important
than some outdated Bible.
I must admit, because of
numerous reasons, I have
lowered my expectation
level to try and exist in this
current environment. But
that does not include my
high view of God. You see,
I believe what Jesus says
in Matthew 24:44. So you
also must be ready, because
the Son of Man will come at
an hour when you do not
expect him. So which bar
are you working toward,
Gods or yours? If you are
thinking you can bargain
with God, you are wrong. In
fact, you are dead wrong.
Ministry on the
Holiness of God.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, September 25, 2025
Its absolutely okay to point fingers
Until one of them murdered Charlie
Kirk, it was entertaining to watch the
freak out of the fussy toddlers who now
control the American Left.
We laughed when they wailed at the
countdown of Trumps first inauguration
and when Van Jones called that election
Whitelash and when AOC went off like a
used car lot inflatable having a seizure on
the floor of House of Representatives. But
now that theyve upped their game to murder and assassination, its time to see them
for what they are and to act accordingly.
Because were tired of hearing all these
melba toast middle-of-the roaders decry all
the division in the country right now.
Damn straight theres division; some of
us are right and some of us are very, very
wrong. The difference is that we used to
be able to call each other out for a good
old-fashioned argument without being
killed for it.
While Charlie Kirk took the debate to
America face to face on college campuses
and offered his opponents a microphone to
respond, Congresswoman Maxine Waters
was instructing her ilk to mob up on conservatives at restaurants and gas stations.
While Donald Trump used a graph to illustrate his argument at a campaign rally
in Pennsylvania, a Leftist psycho came
millimeters from murdering him. Another
kook tried to kill him in Florida, and
upon his guilty verdict in court this week
proved himself as competent at suicide by
ink pen as he was at assassination. Nut
job Leftists literally burned Teslas and
franchise dealerships for the automaker
because they resented Elon Musk and his
wiz kids checking Americas books.
There should be no more hesitation
in calling these people out for what they
are. Theyre bereft of decency and dignity. Theyve removed themselves so far
from the norms of society that guide basic
respect and tolerance in the culture that
they feel no shame whatsoever in making some infantile rant.Their famished
craving for attention and likes drives
them to post it online as they beg for peer
approval.
There was a time when people were
embarrassed if they did something embarrassing. But that was when everyone basically agreed on what was right and what
was wrong.
How many cities were burned the past
two weeks after Kirk was killed? What
would have happened if Kirk had lived
and Al Sharpton had taken a bullet on
September 10? Fentanyl and meth-festered
thug George Floyd died because he was
too stupid and too stoned to get in a patrol
car which might very well have ended up
saving his life. They canonized him and
burned half the big cities in the country in
tribute.
What a contrast. Charlie Kirks mourners gathered in stadiums, parks, at county
courthouses across the country. Nobody
burned anybody elses property, nobody
shot anybody because somebody disrespected somebody. They prayed and cried
and pledged to try to live better Christian
lives and to continue Kirks work to make
America a place good people can be proud
of again. His widow summed the spiritual
strength from the debris of her shattered
world to forgive his murderer she forgave the man who murdered the father of

he spoke. He was murdered because our
children were listening to him.
Garnett commissioners, is the building
on 7th Street next to the lawnmower shop

NATIONAL COMMENTARY
JOHN DANIEL DAVIDSON THE FEDERALIST
same people who cheered on government
censorship during Covid. They love censorship, so long as its their side doing
the censoring.
And it hardly needs to be said that
nothing about the Kimmel story implicates free speech in any way. Kimmel
didnt just mock MAGA or criticize Kirk,
he patently lied about the ideology of
Kirks alleged assassin, and by allowing
his comments to air, ABC arguably violated the terms of its FCC license.
During his Monday show, Kimmel
said this: The MAGA gang is desperately trying to characterize this kid who
murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other
than one of them.
Anyone with an internet connection
and half a brain cell knows that Kirks
alleged killer was deeply into Antifa and
transgender ideologies, and that he specifically targeted Kirk for speaking out
against these things. He was a creature
wholly of the left, and to declare otherwise, as Kimmel did, is a deliberate falsification of the facts surrounding the most
high-profile political assassination of our
time.
That means Kimmel blatantly violated FCC regulations. Public broadcasters
like ABC are prohibited from spreading false information about a crime or
catastrophe, and they can lose their
licensure if they dont adhere to the relevant federal regulations.
No surprise then that Brendan Carr,
the FCC chairman, addressed Kimmels
comments when he went on Benny
Johnsons podcast on Wednesday. This
is a very, very serious issue right now
for Disney. We can do this the easy way
or the hard way. These companies can
find ways to take action on Kimmel, or
there is going to be additional work for
the FCC ahead, Carr said, adding that,
They have a license granted by us at the
FCC, and that comes with an obligation
to operate in the public interest.
Not that the FCC had to take action,
because the marketplace was already
reacting. On the same day Carr made
his remarks, ABC affiliates were pulling Kimmel off the air. Nexstar, the
nations largest television station owner,
announced it would no longer carry
Kimmels show. Sinclair Broadcasting,

Rifle shot in Utah was the Lefts siren song of despair
Charlie Kirk was a one-man answer
to campus illiberalism. He rose to prominence at a time when university administrators and progressive students were
working in league to make campuses
no-go zones for conservatives.
They effectively banned them from
their faculties. They didnt invite them
on campus, or if they did, they were
liable to disinvite and cancel them.
They banned so-called hate speech. They
shouted down speakers they didnt like.
They created safe spaces. In short, they
did everything they could to render the
opposing point of view illegitimate and
indefensible.
Kirk showed not only that it was possible to punch through these obstacles and
get a hearing, but to win the argument
despite them.
He created a student movement that
he leveraged into a huge, multifaceted
organization and that he mobilized to
vote in 2024, to great political effect.
He was provocative, occasionally
outlandish and sometimes wrong, but
always interesting and brave.
His events on campus should be
viewed as a public service. All of the
best, most creative college deans could
have gotten together to figure out how
to routinely get thousands of energized
students to events about public affairs,
and never managed it. No worries. Kirk
figured it out for them. That he was shot
To the city commission and their legal person, why would you create an ordinance
when you dont enforce it in the first place?
I mean the abandoned campers and motor
homes. What about the abandoned vehicles

seems to me like youre going after certain
people when you dont enforce what you
already have on the books.

Free speech? How about we talk domestic terrorism?
The national conversation we need to
have right now is not about free speech.
The conversation we need to have is
about the normalization of political violence on the left. We need to be talking
about left-wing Antifa/trans terrorists
gunning down Christians in broad daylight while Democrats and the corporate
press justify it and the online left celebrates it.
Thats the only conversation that
matters right now. The manufactured
outrage over ABC canceling Jimmy
Kimmels show is an attempt to change
the conversation, to flip the script so that
instead of talking about the first major
political assassination in America in
sixty years, instead of talking about the
mainstream lefts embrace of political
violence and the institutional ecosystem
that foments and funds that violence, we
can talk about whether President Trump
is using Kirks murder as a pretext to
crack down on free speech and silence
his enemies.
What nonsense and what a tell. It
speaks volumes that Democrats, liberal
media, and online leftists are so desperate to pivot away from talking about
Kirks assassination that they have chosen to take up the transparently stupid
cause of Kimmels free speech rights.
Remember, these are people who dont
care at all about free speech. Some of
those rending their garments this week
over Kimmels cancellation were the

out and not be killed even if we have said
something wrong against somebody.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
while he engaged in an act of peaceful
persuasion makes his murder all the
more devastating.
Kirk wasnt a literary figure, but
his assassination was a little like, say,
William F. Buckley or James Baldwin
getting gunned down in the midst of their
famous 1965 debate at the Cambridge
Union.
What Kirk was doing drew on some
of the finest traditions of civilized life.
Gathering on a hill to hear people speak
and argue, like what we saw at Utah
Valley University prior to the shot ringing out, is as old as the Pnyx in ancient
Athens.
The university as a battleground of
ideas, with clashing worldviews vying
for influence, goes back to the Middle
Ages. Founded in 1231, the University
of Paris quickly became a forum where
great questions of theology, society,
and government were analyzed and
answered, writes historian Dan Jones.
More fundamentally, language and
abstract reasoning make us distinctly
human; violence, the tool of brutes, does
not. What are young people on the right
to conclude from the horror at Utah
Valley? Progressives viewed Kirk as a
MAGA troll (as a New Republic headline put it in the immediate aftermath of
his shooting), but for his fans, he was a
figure of hope and inspiration.
Its also important to realize that Kirk
worked diligently and effectively to bring
disaffected kids into mainstream politics. He pushed back against anti-semitism and other poisonous influences. The
far-right envied and hated him.
It would be natural for Utah Valley to
become the Rights equivalent of Kent
State in the 1970s, a shattering experience, and a radicalizing one.
Charlie Kirk did it the right way,
and now hes gone. He espoused the
Christian faith, and what did it get him?
He believed in open debate, and it left
him defenseless unto his enemies. He
did his enemies the favor of taking their
arguments seriously, whereas (presumably) one of them used a bullet to silence
him forever.

Unearthing relics of horsedrawn farming days
Im back to finding iron
artifacts, with an occasional button or etc. I sure wish
I could identify all the old
machinery parts, thats for
sure. All I can tell you is,
I know that they are from
horse-drawn equipment:
wagons, binders, plows,
discs, manure spreaders,
planters, mowers, rakes,
etc., etc.
My father farmed with
horses for several years,
but I was so little I just dont

SPORTS
Central Heights dominates Wellsville Lancers overwhelmed by Oswego in lopsided defeat
Invitational despite harsh conditions
WELLSVILLE – When the
first race of the day at the
Wellsville
Invitational
features 185 runners, its
clear the competition will
be fierce. Combine that
with a mix of rain, intense
heat, and heavy humidity, and you have a true
test of determination. But
the Central Heights Cross
Country team rose to the
occasion, showing grit
across all levels middle
school, JV, and varsity
and delivered one of their
most complete performances of the season.
The day began with middle school races, where 6th
grader Wyatt Moon made
a statement in the 7th
grade boys division, taking
3rd overall with a time of
13:05.08 in a massive field.
Rodney Macy followed finishing 47th in a season-best
time of 15:20.26. In the 7th
grade girls race, Emery
Hughes claimed a medal
with her 16th-place finish,
with a time of 15:17.13.
The 8th grade girls
race had 156 runners, and
Kamden Moon led the
charge for Central Heights,
placing 6th with a time of
13:54.02. Elizabeth Meyer
finished 30th (16:56.77).
Mackenzie Macy (18:13.45 )
and Rilya Lickteig (18:18.84)
followed close behind, finishing 43rd and 44th respectively.
Next the JV boys took
to the course and delivered
their third straight team
title of the season, finishing
first with 29 points. Brooks
Hamilton dug deep in the
final stretch, winning the
race with a time of 20:44.35.
Mathew Dunbar came in
3rd at 21:16.92, and Knox
Cannady was right behind
in 4th at 21:35.13. Also contributing to the win were
Timothy Carmack-Roberts
in 17th place (23:58.04),
Gabriel Carmack-Roberts
in 19th (24:10.76), and
Tristen McRoberts in 20th
(24:27.43).
The varsity girls faced
their toughest test yet,
competing against one of
the top-ranked 4A teams in
the state. Despite the challenge, they finished just
four points shy of the win
and secured 2nd place with
77 points. Lily Burkdoll led
the way with a season-best
21:53.71, placing 8th overall. Mackenzie Moon (11th,
22:27.03), Ebony Hughes
(12th, 22:51.33), and Katelyn
Burkdoll (17th, 23:15.22) all
earned medals for their
efforts. Arabella Dunbar
(51st, 25:58.48) and Caitlynn
Detwiler (54th, 26:44.02)
completed the varsity girls
scoring.
The varsity boys race
featured top-tier talent,
including one of the best
individual runners in the
state, but that didnt stop
Central Heights from dominating the field. The team
took 1st place with just 27
points, led by an incredible 1-2 finish from Stetson
Miller and Josiah Meyer.
Stetson crossed the line
first in 17:28.00, with Josiah
just behind at 17:29.22. Ben
Wuertz followed with a
7th place finish in 18:41.17,
and Aidan Howland ran
the best race of his career,
earning a personal record
of 18:56.57 to finish 10th.
Cash Miller was 12th
(19:07.50), Caleb Detwiler
placed 22nd (19:34.33), and
Aydan Dunbar rounded out
the team in 36th (20:50.13).
Their combined efforts
sealed a convincing team
win in tough conditions.
Head Coach Troy Prosser
was pleased with his team's
efforts. The soggy ground
and heavy air wasnt going
to allow fast times but we
showed a lot of grit and
heart throughout the day
to continue on to our next
challenges.

RICHMOND – It was a battle Friday night at Central

The game began with a
defensive struggle on both
sides, and at the end of the
first quarter, Uniontown
held a narrow 8-0 lead.
Central Heights got on the
scoreboard in the second
quarter, but the Eagles
extended their lead before
halftime, heading into the
locker room with a 22-6
lead.
Central Heights came
out of the half with renewed
confidence and battled
tough narrowing the gap to
2214 heading into the final
frame.
But in the fourth quarter, Uniontown added one
final score and kept the
Vikings off the board to seal
the game with a 30-14 victory.

GARNETT – The Anderson
County Bulldogs improved
to 21 on the season with a
commanding 356 win over
Lexington (0-4) on Friday
night. The Bulldogs pulled
away following a hard
fought opening period.
The Bulldogs struck
first when Landon Schillig
connected with Christian
Barnett for a 16-yard touchdown pass to give Anderson
County a 70 lead after the
extra point by Aleck Smith.
Lexington answered with a
short touchdown run, but a
failed two-point conversion
left the score at 76.
From there, it was all
Bulldogs.
Schillig hit Aidan Steele
for a 50-yard touchdown,
widening the lead to 146 in
the second quarter. Schillig
finished the game 9-of-12

jumped a pass and raced
86 yards for a pick-six,
sending the Bulldogs into
halftime with a comfortable
216 lead.
The defense continued
to dominate in the second
half. Linebacker Aidan
Steele led the team with 12
tackles and 1 tackle for loss,
while Rigin Jasper added 7

own in the fourth quarter.
After forcing a fumble, the
AC defense scored again as
Jasper scooped up the ball
and sprinted 46 yards for
a touchdown, putting the
game out of reach at 356.

COLONY – The Crest
Lancers volleyball team

On September 16 at Yates
Center, the Lancers opened
strong with a straight-set
win over Pleasanton, taking the match 25-19, 25-13
but couldnt carry that
momentum into their next
match, falling to host Yates
Center in two sets, 15-25,
19-25.
The team returned to

itive matchup, the Lancers
dropped a hard-fought
three-set match to the host
Jayhawk-Linn team, 14-25,
25-22, 17-25. They bounced

a Nexstar rival, also
announced it was pulling
Kimmel from its stations
until he apologizes to
Kirks family and makes
a sizeable personal donation to Turning Point USA.
And then of course ABC
announced it was canceling
Kimmel.
Never mind that these
affiliates were acting not so
much in response to Carr
but in response to the outrage Kimmels comments
on Monday night had provoked among their viewers. But it didnt matter,
the news of Kimmels cancellation kicked off a news
cycle focused on whether
Carrs remarks amounted
to government suppression
of free speech.
Liberal journalists who
never uttered a peep about
the Biden administrations
crackdown on conservative outlets and individuals
immediately commenced
with performative outrage
online, lamenting this
unprecedented attack of
the Trump administration.
The president, they said,
was using Kirks murder as
a pretext to clamp down on
free speech.
None of the people peddling this line believe it.
Its a deliberate distraction
by the institutional left and
the Democrat party establishment to change the
subject so they dont have
to deal with the horrifying
reality that the lefts base
not the far left, not the
fringe, but the base has
revealed itself to be totally
comfortable with political
violence against the right.
Recent polls indicate as
much, as does the widespread reaction of the left
online and in real life
to Kirks murder.
So no, we wont be
having a tortured debate
about the nuances of the
First Amendment and the
finer details of FCC regulations. We wont be furrowing our brows over the
line between regulation
in the public interest and
censorship of free speech.
We wont be agonizing over
what Democrats might do
once they regain power and
deciding its best just to let
the late-night host spew
whatever lies they want.
Free speech is not the
issue at hand, and none
of the people that want to
make it the issue even care
about it. Right now, they
only care about changing
the subject. They would
rather talk about anything,
manufacture any scandal,
however idiotic or disingenuous, rather than deal
with the truth.
And the truth is that the
assassination of Charlie
Kirk and the mainstream
lefts celebration of it is
the biggest story since
9/11. It heralds a new era
in American history, in
which the entire country
has to figure how to deal
with a political left that has
embraced violence and terror.
Seen in that context,
Kimmel got exactly what
he deserved, and theres not
much more to say about it.
America will not be grappling with the cancellation
of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
a generation from now.
It will have no effect on
anyones free speech rights
under the Constitution. It
is not a real controversy, it
doesnt matter, and were
not going to debate it with
the left.
What does matter is the
lefts embrace of political
violence and the left-wing
terrorist ecosystem that
enables that violence. Right
now, its the only thing that
matters. So thats what
were going to talk about,
and act upon, until we get
the situation under control.

National Farm Safety and Health Week
September 22-27, 2025
Prioritizing your well-being: National
Farm Safety and Health Week
By Jennifer Strickland, Social Media StrategistSep 19,
2025
National Farm Health and Safety Week serves as
a reminder that practicing farm safety is more than
an individual responsibility; safe farms protect entire
families and communities. According to the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH),
agriculture is one of the most hazardous industries in
the U.S. About 100 agricultural workers suffer a lostwork-time injury every day, and farmers are nearly
twice as likely to die on the job as the average U.S.
worker. NIOSH also states that injuries in the industry are well-known to be underreported.
This year, we wanted to highlight one cause for
farm injury and fatality: grain entrapment. In a 2024
report, researchers at Purdue University found that
43% of reported cases that year were fatal, with farmers in Indiana and Missouri experiencing the most
incidents.
No matter where you farm, if you use grain bins for
storage, we made this short video for you and your
loved ones to provide an overview of ways to stay safe
when working inside of a grain bin.
Here are a few additional reminders and resources:
Maintain your equipment: Regular inspections and
the use of rollover protective structures can reduce
your risk of injury.
Use protective gear: Gloves, goggles, hearing protection, and respirators help guard against chemical
exposure, loud machinery, and dust.
Prevent fatigue: Schedule rest, hydrate, and rotate
tasks to reduce accidents linked to exhaustion.
Support mental health: Keep an open dialogue with
family and employees, and reach out for help when
stress feels overwhelming.
Educate and train the next generation: Young
Stop accidents,
2x2before they stop you.

In the old days of rabid
right wingers who burned
abortion clinics, harassed
pregnant
teenagers
and killed abortionists,
their own bile eventually disenchanted enough
Republicans that they
fled the party to wander
for decades as befuddled
moderates with a shifting moral compass and
no guts, their passions
gelded, and seeking only
to be on the winning side
of every debate. It cost
Republicans mightily and
resulted in a needed reset
of conservative policy.
Kirks murder should
bring a similar transition
to the American Left, but
its history todate foretells
that as unlikely. The Lefts
conscience is repugnant;
well know shortly if its
irredeemable as well.
In the meantime we recognize evil for what it is
and we recognize that it
is predominantly now the
tool of the American Left.
We recognize this new
proof that where theres
smoke theres fire, symbolized by the Aqua Velva
hair, the clothespins
through the eyebrows, the
skanky tatoos, the attacks
on ICE agents and on law
and order in general.
Be assured, we see you

Chris Janson: From Lake of the Ozarks kid to country music hitmaker
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Chris Janson, once a smalltown kid from Missouri,
has built a reputation in
Nashville as one of country
musics most energetic performers and sharpest songwriters. Known for his harmonica-driven anthems and
down-home charm, Janson
has carved out a career that
blends modern country
hooks with traditional grit.
Born in Perryville,
Missouri, in 1986, Janson
grew up on the Lake of the
Ozarks, a region that would
shape his storytelling and
musical roots. By his late
teens, he packed up and
moved to Nashville, arriving on Lower Broadway
with little more than his guitar and a determination to
make it. He quickly became
a familiar face in honkytonks, playing marathon
sets that taught him how to
command a crowd.
Jansons first national
break came as a songwriter.
He co-wrote tunes for artists
such as Tim McGraw and
Hank Williams Jr., but his
own recording career took
off in 2015 with the breakout
hit Buy Me a Boat. The
single shot up the country
charts, eventually going
double platinum, and introduced him as a new voice
who could connect with
working-class audiences.
Since then, Janson has
released a string of albums
and radio favorites, from
the party-ready Fix a
Drink to heartfelt ballads
like Drunk Girl, which
won praise for its sensitive
subject matter. His live
shows, marked by high-energy performances and his
trademark harmonica solos,
have made him a staple on
the touring circuit.
Beyond the stage, Janson
is known for his devotion
to family. He often credits
his wife Kelly as his partner
in both life and career, and
their four children remain
at the center of his world.
Now a member of the
Grand Ole Opry inducted in 2018 Janson has
secured his place among
country musics respected
ranks. With each new project, he continues to balance
rowdy, feel-good hits with
songs that speak to values
of faith, family, and smalltown America.
As country music shifts
and evolves, Chris Janson
remains a reminder of its
enduring heart: a storyteller who rose from humble
beginnings, wrote his own
path, and never lost sight of
the fans who got him there.
The first time Kelsey
Hart ever sang in front of a
crowd, he was riding shotgun in his dads pickup,
belting gospel tunes from
the passenger seat, the cornfields of Kentucky rolling
by beyond the window. He
didnt yet know that those
early harmonies and dusty
roads would become the
soundtrack of his life but
those mornings singing in a
cedar scented church pew,
those nights helping with
the barn chores, they all left
their mark.
Born and raised in western Kentucky, Harts childhood was stitched together
with two loves family
and music. Growing up
with gospel in his veins, he
soaked in the stories those
songs carried: heartbreak
and redemption, stumbling
and grace. He picked up a
guitar. He learned to listen.
He began writing songs, not
knowing whod ever hear
them, but knowing exactly
why he had to write them.
After high school he
did what many dream of
but so few do: he made a
slow, steady march toward
Nashville, first carrying
his song poems like a baritone handshake with God,
second by trade a barber
cutting hair back home,
third by heart a songwriter
co-writing for others. His
early cuts found their way
to the voices of artists like
Jake Owen, Dylan Scott, and
Trace Adkins.
But Hart wasnt content
to live forever behind the
scenes. Hed seen the Grand
Ole Opry from the audience,
heard the crowd hush, felt
the electricity of that circle,
and promised himself one
day hed stand in it. Country
Now+1
January 2023 was the
turning point: the moment
when songwriter Hart officially became recording
artist Hart. He signed with
Curb Records.
His debut single as an
artist, Life With You,
dropped later that year. It
was born of something ordinary yet sacred his wedding. He and his wife chose
it for their first dance. It
was more than a love song:
it was a pledge. The song
caught fire online, in Spotify
playlists, in TikTok videos.
People used it for their own
milestones; Harts voice,
once private, now echoed
in bedrooms and stages far
from Kentucky.
With that momentum, he
released Life With You
the full 15-track debut LP
in May 2024. Each song a
lane on the road of his life:
romantic odes, tributes to
2×2
Brummel
family, small town heartbreak, backroads, beer,
longnecks, the whisper of
faith and the roar of regret.
The kind of country music
that smells like wood smoke
and feels like Sunday.
June 28, 2024, was a big
moment when a guy who
once watched the Opry from
the crowd got to walk into
the circle himself. That
night, Kelsey Hart finally
stood on its stage for the
first time.
When most people get
comfortable, he keeps pushing. Hes dropped songs like
Flannel, Gone With The
Wind, and Fireworks,
exploring new textures:
up-tempo energy, fun live
shows, still honest lyrics.
And though hes married,
rooted, and humbled, his
heart still beats for that wide
horizon touring, writing,
and telling more stories.
Where he is now:
This is a man who writes
love letters to his wife, to
his father, to a town that
raised him, and to a faith
that carries him when the
lights fade. Hes no longer
just the writer behind someone elses hit; hes the voice
in the room. And for Kelsey
Hart, the journeyjust like
the songsstill feels full of
promise.
The
Kentucky
Headhunters have spent
more than half a century
defying expectations and
reshaping the sound of
country rock.
Emerging from the hills of
Metcalfe County, Kentucky,
the group began in 1968 as
Itchy Brother, a garage rock
outfit founded by brothers
Richard and Fred Young.
Influenced as much by the
blues and British rock as
by the country traditions
Thanks for supporting
Cornstock 2025!
Please be safe and responsible as you enjoy the
event, and dont forget to say thanks
to the organizers, workers and sponsors.
of their home state, the
Youngs and their cousin,
guitarist Greg Martin, laid
the groundwork for a sound
that would later shake up
Nashville.
The band officially
became The Kentucky
Headhunters in 1986, adding
Doug Phelps on bass and
vocals. Three years later,
their debut album Pickin on
Nashville hit the charts with
an energy that was impossible to ignore. The record
won a Grammy Award, sold
over two million copies,
and produced country radio
staples including Dumas
Walker and Walk Softly
on This Heart of Mine.
Their blend of honkytonk rhythms, southern
rock riffs, and blues grit
set them apart from the
polished sound dominating country music at the
time. While Nashville
struggled to define them,
the Headhunters found an
audience eager for something louder, rougher, and
rooted in tradition. Over
the next decade, the group
earned multiple CMA and
ACM awards, while col-
laborations with rock and
blues legends such as Chuck
Berrys pianist Johnnie
Johnson cemented their
reputation as genre-crossers.
Lineup changes never
dimmed their momentum.
Doug and Ricky Lee Phelps
came and went, but the
Young brothers and Martin
kept the bands identity
intact, carrying on with a
rotating cast of collaborators while staying true to
their musical DNA.
Now deep into their
fifth decade, The Kentucky
Headhunters remain a staple of the road. Their recent
albums and festival appearances showcase the same
raw mix of country storytelling and rock-and-roll
swagger that first launched
them into the spotlight. For
critics and fans alike, the
band stands as proof that
country rock can thrive
outside the mainstream
and that a group of smalltown musicians can carve
out a legacy by staying loud,
proud, and unapologetically
themselves.

Kentucky Headhunters to rock Cornstock Haymakers to hit the Cornstock stage
Blame it on the shutdown. When the Kentucky
Headhunters
watched
their 2020 dates go up in
smoke, they knew with or
without live dates, theyre
a band and bands have to
play. After a half century of
coming together at Mama
Effies Practice House, first
as Itchy Brother, then the
Kentucky Headhunters, as
well as watching next generation hard rockers Black
Stone Cherry come into
their own sound, the idea
of not making music wasnt
something they could stomach.
Were a band, says
guitarist/vocalist Richard
Young. We play. When all
our shows got cancelled, we
decided we were gonna go
up to the Practice House
and play. Then we figured
we might as well go into the
studio No discussions,
no trying to be something.
Just What do you want to
play?
Indeed, Thats A Fact,
Jack may be the Kentucky
Headhunters most coherent, yet eclectic album
ever. Whether the creeping blues-burner Gonna
Be Alright, the sinewy,
sensuous Susannah, the
slow turn reckoning We
Belong Together or the
dynamic minimalist reflection Watercolors In the
Rain, the Heads continue
sowing the good vibes, the
better guitar sounds and
enough groove to keep the
room rocking.
Blame it on England.
When
the
Kentucky
Headhunters were growing
up, the rock & roll coming across the pond Led
Zeppelin, CREAM, Cactus,
the Rolling Stones, the
Beatles, Kinks and Faces
made its way to Edmonton,
Kentucky where Richard
and Fred Young and their
cousin Greg Martin were
raised. It also permeated the Missouri bootheel,
where Doug Phelps grew
up.
Susannah was first
inspired from the passing
of Dougs long time musical influence Levon Helm.
He and I were both born
in Arkansas and I always
felt a connection to him
because of that, he says.
It became a song about the
special women that love
and support their music
man and how they understand what it is that drives
us.
Something about the
mods, the rockers, the twist
of the classic American
blues of Howling Wolf and
Muddy Waters got under
those boys skins. Even
during their multi-platinum dominance of country
music, the Headhunters
were always more a rock
band with rural roots than
a country band with big
amps.
When we got to
England, people were holdin up cards that said,
Stumblin, Young marvels. They even knew the
Johnnie Johnson records
weve made together. It was
magical And since wed
never been there when it
was all happening, Fred
wrote Cup of Tea, which is
all about what that era was
all about.
The Merseybeat-steeped
Cup draws on a time
long gone, but somehow
feels fresh and sparkling in
the innocence of drummer
Fred Youngs raw-boned
vocal delivery. The drummer brother also contributes a full-frontal take on
Rick Derringers Cheap
Tequila, equally redolent
of a time when rock was
wild, untamed and elegantly squalid.
Shotgun Effie, with its
seek-and-destroy guitar riff
and hammer down drumming, was Itchy Brothers
very first single. Still in
high school, it was the first
record the boys put out, and
nearly fifty years later, this
raging ode to a silver-haired
leadfoot,
Grandmother
Effie, is every bit as raucous and fun.
Blame it on semantics.
Heck, blame it on a world
thats slightly off its kilter. Wildly apolitical, the
Headhunters have always
been about spreading the
love, the joy, the come
together. Whether it was a
heavy take on Bill Monroes
Walk Softly On This Heart
of Mine, a torqued up
read on Cargill Hensons
Skip-A-Rope, or a psyche-blues spin on Norman
Greenbaums Spirit In
The Sky, the Headhunters
continue to lift folks up,
lighten their load and bring
people together.
Gonna Be Alright is
a keep your chin up and
care about each other
track, Thats a Fact, Jack
is something your Dadd
say about getting on with
it. In the 60s and 70s, people were people and politics
didnt define you, what was
in your heart did. Thats
what its really about.
So, this album, beyond
all the fun of just getting
in there and playing, is a
statement for our society
in these times. Dont worry
about the labels, man.
Hows it make you feel? If
you ask me, this is modern society Southern rock
& roll. Its for the times and
the people. Its all the influences and all the things we
love, all the things with no
borders or worrying about
what doesnt fit.
Kelsey Hart: Smalltown roots to Nashville stages
Country singer-songwriter Kelsey Hart is
quickly making a name
for himself in Nashville,
but his story begins in the
small town of Greenville,
Kentucky. Born in 1991,
Hart grew up singing in
church and listening to
gospel music before discovering country stars
like Blake Shelton, Brett
Eldredge, and Brooks &
Dunn, who would go on to
shape his style.
After high school, Hart
played in a local band that
won a battle of the bands
competition, giving him
his first taste of recording
in Nashville. That experience sparked his love for
songwriting and eventually led to a publishing deal
with Curb Records. Soon
after, Hart signed a record
deal with the label, putting
him on the path to pursue
music full-time.
Now based in Nashville,
Hart is gaining attention
with his single Country
In Business, a song that
pays tribute to the traditions and values of rural
life. He continues to write
and record new material,
drawing inspiration from
his small-town upbringing
and the people who supported him from the beginning. With more music
planned for release, Hart
shows no signs of slowing
down.
Hart says performing
live still gives him the
same thrill he first felt as
a teenager in Kentucky.
Sharing stories through
music and connecting with
fans is what drives him,
and he hopes his songs can
both entertain and inspire.
For him, country music is
about honesty, roots, and
resilience.
Fans can follow his jour-
ney on social media and
stream his music on all
major platforms.

When it comes to local
music in Eastern Kansas,
Trevor Holman and the
Haymakers is about as
homegrown as you can get.
Born in 2022 when local
solo performer Trevor
Holman was asked to play
a local pasture party, the
Haymakers were the product of both history and
natural gravity. Holman
sought support for that
performance from local
fab lead guitarist Adam
Caylor. Caylor suggested
the duo flesh out further
with longtime local bassist John Scheckel, whom
Caylor worked with at
Ottawa University, and
Holman tapped his buddy
going back to Crest 6th
grade, Jory Ramsey, to
sit in on drums. The hay
pasture gave birth to the
Haymakers.
The band built their
repertoire of cover tunes
focusing on country classics, some rock and leaning
toward Holmans favored
Red Dirt sound. Caylors
foxy speed fills and solos
made those covers sound
like the band had been
doing them for decades, and
Holmans straight ahead
vocals and tenacity in finding gigs began to develop
regional demand for their
new twist on known material.
Caylor left the band in
2023 and Scheckel in 2024,
opening up slots for Greg
Branson from Osawatomie
on lead guitar and Olathes
Neil Kelly, an associate
from another Holman
music project in Miami
County, on bass. Branson

The new lineup blended
a charging guitar section
with the Branson boys into
the set list of covers, while
refining itself with a developing sound and light stage
experience courtesy of
Holmans cousin Quentin
Sams. The Haymakers
were growing into a band
with real presence, and
finding gigs as far away as
Abilene, Kansas, as word
about them spread.
Its only been a couple
of years, but honestly with
the amount of work weve
done and how far weve
come and all these gigs, it
seems like longer, Holman
said this week. Gig days
start before noon, loading,
traveling, setting up, performing, tearing down and
driving home usually the
wee hours of the following
day. Its what Ive always
wanted to do, but its a lot of
work.
Coming up Holman says
the band will refine some
original material theyve
working over to take the
next step. He says its a logical progression, now that
the band has built a reputation on other peoples
songs, to come up with
some of their own.
Weve been writing
and working on that, but
with the schedule and family and jobs we just havent had time to properly
refine it yet, Holman said.
When we bring it out, we
want it to be really good.
The message: Watch
for more hay from the
Haymakers.

To quit on persuasion,
though, is the counsel of
despair. Political violence
in a free society is always
wrong. Theres no substitute for convincing our fellow citizens, and we should
also assume — as Kirk did,
even with the odds stacked
heavily against him — that
they can be convinced by
good arguments made sincerely and passionately.
Kirks murder will long
be remembered as a symbol of the irrationality and
hatred of this era, with, one
fears, worse to come. His

STAPP…
FROM PAGE 1
chapters in I would hit the proverbial brick wall,
then reluctantly I would return to the drawing
board. The writing bug eventually manifested
in his first stage script, and he thought thats
where his literary ambitions had found a nest.
It was a craving for something different in late
2023 that Stapp said led him back to his old novel
notes. He went back to those failed chapters and
rewrote the prologue, mentally changed a few
sub-story lines, eliminated a few secondary characters, and charged ahead, ultimately breaking
thru the nearly three-decade old brick wall and
found the words easily flowing. By mid-spring
2024, head Trespassers a western time travel
novel with an alien abduction twist 95 percent
complete.
Trespassers starts in 1979 (Stapps own
nostalgic high school graduation year) when J.T.
Tescott and his brother Dent, along with four
friends, find themselves still in familiar landscapes Hays, Kansas, and the Monument Rocks
near Oakley but 101 years in the past. Theyve
trespassed via alien influence into an alternate
dimension, experiencing life and death, danger
and even love never meant to be amid the
rough-and-tumble life of frontier Kansas.
Stapp said he focused on Old West research to
give the novel a realistic edge not present in
modern Hollywood films.
It may have taken me 25-30 years to write the
story, but if I had actually finished it those early
years, Im positive it would have been less of a
story, and relatively poorly written, he said.
Stapp is a former Anderson County Appraiser
and founding member of Garnetts Chamber
Players Community Theatre. His plays have
collectively been produced nationally and internationally over the course of the past 23 years.
Trespassers is available at Amazon.com and

Better beef for your budget
By Chevy-Lynn Vaske,
K-State Extension news service
MANHATTAN, Kan.
Taking a bite of tender,
juicy beef is all part of the
dining experience. But
what exactly makes beef
taste the way it does?
Kansas State University
meat science extension
specialist Erin Beyer said
the answer lies in beef palatability a combination
of tenderness, juiciness
and flavor.
Beyer focuses her
research on fresh meat
quality and cooked meat
color. If youve seen meat
trials conducted at K-State,
theres a good chance
youve seen her work in
action.
As part of her studies, participants evaluate
a variety of beef cuts for
their sensory qualities.
According to Beyer,
meat palatability is often
compared to a three-legged
stool with tenderness, flavor, and juiciness being the
legs. While some factors
impact the eating experience more than others, it
is the combination of all
three factors that is pivotal
for that elite eating experience for consumers.
Tenderness is now considered the second most
important sensory property after flavor, Beyer
said. Flavor is the most
complex and opinionated
sensory property, with significant differences based
on species, cooking method
and seasoning.
For decades, tenderness was considered the
most important palatability trait, but newer research
done at K-State indicates
flavor is now the most
important. While tenderness is the most variable,
flavor is the most complex,
being impacted by such
factors as quality grade,
cooking method, or just
muscle type, she said.
Juiciness also plays a
critical role in the eating
experience.
Juiciness is defined as
the initial and sustained
moisture in the mouth,
impacted by quality grade
and cooking method,
Beyer said.
Cooking methods, Beyer
notes, can dramatically
change the palatability of
beef.
There are high-heat
methods, such as grilling
or broiling, and lower-heat
methods like braising or
roasting, she said. Low
and slow methods are best
for budget-friendly cuts
that are thicker or tougher,
like a roast. The collagen in
the muscle structure has to
break down for the meat to
become tender.
Collagen is the most
prevalent protein in the
body, and it is found in
skin and nails, but also in
the connective tissue layers that support muscle
structure. Collagen has a
rubber band texture and is
generally considered to be
only soluble in high heat
or acid, so when cooking, it
becomes difficult to break
down.
The way we accomplish this is with low and
slow cooking methods,
which gives the collagen
molecules time to convert
to gelatin that is soft and
able to be chewed easily,
Beyer said. "This process is
responsible for turning the
brisket, one of the toughest
muscles in the body, to a
fork tender cut.
Beyer explained some
examples of budget-friendly cuts include chuck eye
roll, tri tip, flank steak,
coulotte and beef plate

cuts. These cuts can be
roasted in the oven and
take around two hours to
cook, or smoked for about
the same time.
The oven and a smoker
will not brown the exterior, therefore, a browning
step needs to be included
either before or after the
low and slow cooking step.
This combination will
develop the rich and beefy
flavor consumers love with
a tender roast texture.
Beyer said by understanding how tenderness,
juiciness and flavor interact and how cooking
methods affect them consumers can make the most
of every beef cut on their
plate.
