Extension horticulturist Chuck Marr of Kansas State University warns that national publicity does not guarantee suitability for Kansas climate. He advises using local trials and the leaflet Recommended Vegetable Varieties for Kansas to choose varieties with resistance to pests and drought, reducing chemical sprays and saving money.

Fermented Egg Research Seeks New Food Products
Kansas State University professor Dr. Frank Cunningham reports on fermented egg ideas at the Poultry Industry Conference in Manhattan. He outlines potential products such as egg yogurt and egg dips, funded by the American Egg Board, with private firms likely to market them if approved. Egg consumption has risen since 1977, aided by McDonald’s Egg McMuffins and better public understanding of cholesterol.

Hens Behave Better With Roosters In Flocks Study Finds
Kansas State University researchers A L Bhagwat and J V Craig report that male presence may slightly reduce egg size and slow weight gain in hens over 30 weeks. Hens in pens with roosters showed less pecking and aggression as rooster numbers rose, while overall production traits largely remained unaffected. A separate note from Frank Cunningham suggests microwaves may extend refrigerated poultry shelf life by 24 to 48 hours, with limited impact on meat quality, based on tests on fresh chicken patties.
