Kansas State University economist John Coolidge outlines a cost comparison method to decide when to trade farm machinery. He weighs keeping old equipment versus buying new, including costs of ownership, repairs, operation, and risk of breakdown, plus intangible benefits like time savings and comfort.
With price squeeze, a careful farmer weighs what to buy and adopts soil and water conservation. He shifts to certified seed for higher yields and profits and uses terracing and erosion control to cut costs. Terracing lowers dam costs and improves long term yields, making better land treatment financially attractive.
Kansas State University horticulturists outline a spring planting timetable for Douglas County with specific windows for crops from asparagus and rhubarb in late February to mid May for beans corn cucumbers and tomatoes.

Parents propose swapping usual bacon eggs or cereal for a breakfast steak bun or beef patty or hot dog to boost teen protein intake. The plan aims to reduce mid morning lags and temptation from sweets and starches.
The guidance recommends a 3 inch band on each side of the row with fertilizer slightly deeper than the seed. Use one pound per 100 square feet of 10-20-10 or 12-12-12 fertilizer. Banding is more efficient than broadcasting, but keep fertilizer away from direct seed contact.
