Farmers report soybeans and early milo yielding average to good quality amid very low prices. Many elevators store grain, with limited local space and ongoing debate over Reagan’s six month grain embargo pledge and its impact on markets.
Mary and Don Flory operate the Flory Dairy Farm near Baldwin junction on US-39, milking 73 cows in a Sawtooth Herringbone parlor. They hosted about 30 dairymen for a Kansas Artificial Breeding Service Unit update on insemination, discussing milking, feeding, calf rearing, and the computer feeder system.
The Franklin County Livestock Association hosts the fourth annual Club Calf Sale at 1:30 pm in the Franklin County Sale Barn, featuring about 30 steer calves from 4-H’ers. Most calves are Simmental or Charolais crosses, with champions and grand champion prizes funded by the association. Auctioneer Brandon Otto will run the sale, aimed at keeping prices affordable for local 4-H participants.
A new Linear Trait Appraisal system for evaluating artificial insemination bulls is to begin in January 1984. Keith Heikes led a review for about 30 participants at a Flory Dairy Farm session, detailing 14 traits plus milking speed rated 1 to 9 and adjusted to a common scale. Charlie Michaels of KABSA called the rankings more honest, regardless of personal opinion.
KABSU remains the only unit of its kind still affiliated with a university. Director Charlie Michaels announced during a recent bull evaluation that established in 1950 with a $500000 state grant the program now relies on enterprises like bull studs dairy semen beef semen and custom services. This year 225 semen units will be processed. The unit faced a move dilemma as it is now inside town near a medical center, with Michaels stating moving would force closure due to cost. KABSU also runs AI training schools serving about 200 students annually and provides housing for 75 bulls with roughly half privately owned and community housed during peak winter and spring seasons.
