Veterans of the feedlot prove skill in spotting early cattle illness
Dr. Al Edwards of Kansas State University explains that elite pen riders detect sick cattle early by watching for subtle signs and by considering the animal as a whole. Veterans emphasize early action, quiet handling, and consistent observation, noting most problems arise in the first 21 days and that respiration and digestion are common targets.

Tribune wheat studies compare long term cropping sequences
A 1971 Tribune Experiment Station study compares wheat and grain sorghum rotations under minimum and conventional tillage. Chemical fallow in FWS and FW sequences stored more moisture over six years, boosting yields. Sorghum rose about 11 bu per acre and wheat about 5 bu per acre on average in FWS.

Wheat and sorghum yields across FW FS FWS sequences
In the FW sequence wheat yielded 7 bu/A with chemical treatment on fallow. FWS produced more grain than FS or FW overall, with FWS wheat yielding 1 bu/A less than FW. Chemical experiments reduced FWS by 3 bu/A versus FW. Sorghum yields show FWS 17 bd/A lower than FS, and FWS with chemicals 6 bu/A below FS. Across six years for FWS and the three-way wheat or sorghum in FW and FS, yield differences were insignificant.
