Washington joins six states in developing a pilot to trace diseased animals within 48 hours.

Moscow Cotton Gin Expands Operations and Exports
The Moscow facility enlarges its cotton processing line with modules arriving from farms. Trucks weigh modules, computers record data, and a module feeder feeds rotating cylinders that break modules for processing. Cotton is dried, cleaned, separated from seed, conditioned, formed into batting, pressed, autostrapped, and baled at about 500 pounds each. Two hundred fourteen bales are loaded weekly for Liberal warehouse, then marketed globally for denim use.

Canadian cattlemen hurt as US delays ban lift

Canada, claiming minimal risk, has 14 million cattle and plans to spend up to C$488 million to support beef exports.
