Missouri farmers twice as likely to commit personal crises
Missouri 1984 figures show farmers filed 71 personal crisis reports out of 680 statewide, double the rate of nonfarmers after adjusting for age and sex. Earlier years show rising farmer crises from 47 of 587 in 1982 to 69 of 683 in 1983, driven mainly by younger farmers facing loan pressures and asset declines.

Windbreaks and evergreens for Kansas landscapes
Kansas landscape guidance details windbreak planning by van der Hoeven. Dense evergreen and mixed plantings shelter homes from wind and heat, with flexible layouts beyond straight lines and decorative focal groupings. Small urban lots favor 3 to 5 pines spaced 8 to 12 feet, while larger plantings require 75 to 150 feet from drives to limit snow drift.
