Grazing and Weed Control for Kansas Pastures
Kansas producers face recurring weeds in pastures and hay meadows. Long term, best weed control comes from sound grazing and careful herbicide use, notes Paul Ohlenbusch of K State. Drought and cold springs have shifted weed types, making herbicides less effective this year. Maintain adequate leaf growth, avoid overgrazing from mid July to December, and mow meadows four inches high for regrowth. For details, request MF-1020 and RP-902 from local extension, or visit the Kansas NASS site for 2002 custom rates.

North Dakota farmers seek child care aid program
Jody Horner and wife Dawn balance farm duties and two young children in Napoleon. A North Dakota Farm Bureau led Rural Childcare Initiative seeks to ease costs and expand access to daycare, backed by a $15,000 grant and aiming to model similar efforts in other states. The plan would assess needs, raise farm safety awareness, and improve child care availability for farming families facing economic strain.
