Feral hogs threaten Kansas crops and swine herds
Pittsburg AP reports feral hogs are a growing nuisance to Kansas farmers destroying crops and spreading disease to domestic swine. Officials credit hunting bans with spreading hogs, noting only landowners or designees with permits can kill nuisances. Three populations exist west of Pittsburg, at Fort Riley, and along Medicine Lodge River tributaries. Wildlife Services can assist in surveillance and tactics.

Grass fed label may mislead beef buyers say ranchers
Ranchers and critics clash over an Agriculture Department proposal for a broad grass fed standard. They warn it could let conventional ranchers attach grass fed labels to grain finished beef, eroding consumer trust. Advocates cite leaner meat and demand growth with farms rising from about 40 to 1,000 in seven years.
