Policy cracks down on E. coli prevention rules
Federal regulators will require random E. coli testing of all meat packers, ending an exemption for some processors. The USDA move, praised by officials as a step beyond mere detection, aims to tighten inspections after recalls and audits. It follows criticism of slow recalls and a 1990s directive easing oversight.

Last Alfalfa Crop Guidance For Kansas Farmers
Kansas farmers should time the final alfalfa cut before fall dormancy to 8 to 12 inches of foliage, aiming for late September to early October in the southwest. A killing frost at 24 to 26 F risks weakened root reserves and slower spring growth, so harvest timing matters for winter hardiness and regrowth. The note advises visiting local extension offices or the KSU agronomy site for details on fertilization, and describes farm management scholarships via the MAST program with a November orientation in Manhattan.
