Reducing yucca in rangeland with winter grazing method
Yucca or soapweed has thickened across western and central Kansas rangelands. Dense stands reduce grass production, as yucca thrives on dry sites with deep roots. Happy with limited cattle grazing in summer, yucca survives while grasses decline. winter grazing is the most cost effective control, as cows feed on yucca base when green plants are scarce and repeated winters reduce stands, restoring grass growth in summer.

Dairy farmers slashing cows to lift milk prices

Participation spans 70 percent of U.S. supply, with prices historically high yet stabilizing, while critics warn higher prices may hurt consumers.
