Flood erosion study quantifies 18 acres lost per mile along Kansas River
Kansas State University researchers estimate the 1993 Kansas River flood eroded about 18 acres of cropland per mile along a 40 mile stretch from Junction City to Wamego, averaging 150 feet of bank loss per mile. Grassland areas eroded ~78 feet per mile with lesser impact then cropland. The two year study used 1992 and 1993 aerial photos and field checks in Geary Riley and Pottawatomie counties, funded by a $35 000 grant.

Miniature Loala Cattle Aim for Big Profits in U.S.
Rancher Neil Effertz promotes the Loala breed, miniature Angus stock imported from Canada and Australia, claiming high profitability through a vertically integrated system. The venture, backed by American Loala Management LLC, offers semen at 25 dollars a unit and embryos at 3000 dollars each, with pregnant recipients priced at 17500 dollars. Effertz cites potential annual incomes of 60000 to 90000 dollars per herd, noting better feed efficiency and a niche upscale meat market.
