Conserving Soil Focus Highlights Kansas Meeting
Albert Dunbar of Franklin County chairs remarks at the 38th annual Kansas Association of Conservation Districts gathering in Wichita November 28 to 30. The emphasis is conservation tillage, plus need for waterways, terraces, and increased funding for state cost-share and watershed projects. Clinton Lundquist notes districts will lead as federal programs shift to states, with Franklin County attendees including Mrs. Dunbar, Herman Norwood, and Jack Hall.

More Cattle To Market
Kansas State University specialist Mike Sands says fed cattle marketings will exceed last year as feedlot inventories rise. He notes Oct 1 inventories near record highs, modest steer gains, and a surge in heifers, with slaughter patterns likely lifting beef tonnage and prices in late 1982 and into 1983.

Looking To 83 Be Better Than 82 In Agriculture
AP Farm Writer Don Kendall reports that 1983 may bring relief after three lean years, but forecasts vary. USDA notes weak farm income in 1982, lower exports, and low parity, with dairy price supports cut and new fees. Prices likely to stay low amid large grain supplies, while livestock output may fall further in 1983.

Timing Grain Sales Helps Tax Position Chanute
Marvin Fausett, area extension economist, explains how timing grain sales can balance taxable income for 1982 and 1983. He compares selling now versus storing, using a $10,000 grain example to show how tax outcomes shift with income projections and storage costs.

Hog Producers Keeping Grip On Supply
Kansas State University economist Mike Sands reports hog numbers unlikely to grow despite favorable returns and ample feed grains. He cites a sharp drop in hog inventories and sow farrowings, predicting prices in the high $50s to low $60s per cwt through early 1983 with returns to producers remaining favorable. The report covers Sept 1 inventories, slaughter projections, and cost assumptions to estimate future margins for farrow to finish operations.
