Buffalo slaughterhouses eyed for Kansas growth boom
A buffalo meat boom prompts the North American Bison Cooperative to consider Kansas for two new slaughterhouses. The group, based in New Rockford, N C, says current plant near capacity with 10 000 animals killed annually. They survey buffalo populations across the U S and Canada to locate ideal processing sites near where herds roam. Kansas hosts small buffalo herds, with 1 500 to 2 000 cows in commercial use, and local officials note processing needs and regulatory hurdles.

Bugs new weapon against musk thistles
Researchers base musk thistle control on Italian flea beetles released in Texas and Kansas. The Agriculture Department project, at Grassland Soil and Water Laboratory in Temple, Texas, aims to reduce thistles across 32 states where the spiny weed infests millions of acres. Beetles eat crowns while larvae feed on leaves and buds, offering a pesticide-free approach for next year’s broader rollout.
