Early issues are being resolved with updated controls and sensors, but thinning remains area specific and requires careful field prep.

Challenge Made To Cancer Charge
Washington AP Agriculture Department official Richard F. Lyng challenged a senator's claim that beef contains the cancer causing chemical DES. He noted DES levels appeared in meat yet said only one of 192 cattle tested showed residues. A new program will sample 6,000 animals to enforce FDA withdrawal rules before slaughter. Four new district colleges will open next fall in Norway at Bodo, Narvik, Molde, Stavanger, and Kristiansand.
