In the Ottawa Herald’s Saturday Notebook, May 16 1981, the piece muses on information retrieval and home computers linking to state networks for farm data, with jokes about Carter writing memoirs and Mrs. Cook fearing being programmed. It also covers hubcap thefts, a Paola editor’s missing newspapers, and mail misrouting.
A roving editor recounts a leg injury and immobilization, detailing the humiliation, medical misadventures, and humor found in adapting to limited mobility. He reflects on past endurance, transports by bus, and a Mother’s Day drive with his wife, ending with gratitude and a warning he may end up with fingers in casts.
Visitors at the Kansas City Board of Trade view plastic jars of grain sorghum, also called milo, shown as livestock feed. The article notes milo production centers in Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Oklahoma among about a dozen states.
The article outlines grain sorghum or milo as the United States second largest feed crop after corn, with 15.7 to 15.9 million acres planted in recent years. Texas leads production, Mexico emerges as a major market, and Argentina and the Soviet Union are key competitors. Exports to date and future prospects depend on railroad agreements and dry weather, with the crop's end of year in September.
