News and notes while wondering whether global climate change is turning Kansas into a place with pleasant weather…
Get on the hay wagon. Make plans now to go on the 2008 Kaw Valley Farm Tour. It’s Oct. 4-5 at 15 farms in the vicinity of Lawrence.
Johnny’s at the fair. For no discernible reason, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Kansas State Fair, which I’ve never attended. This year’s starts Friday (Sept. 5) and runs through Sunday, Sept. 14. K-State has some information about the fair and 4-H and High Plains Journal talks up Agriland, which sounds like it focuses on agriculture the way commodity groups want you to see it.
Food and land. At look at figures compiled by K-State ag economists (see the sidebar at the bottom of the page) makes it clear why rising food demand is good for agribiz. (K-State News)
Food FYI. Food has always been a part of living for people, and now it’s part of Kansas City Star’s Living FYI section. Food editor Jill Silva does a great job there, and it’s discouraging to see the Star skimping on one of its best sections. I don’t know if it’s one of the best-read or not, but I do know that its readers it read the secion closely and loyally. (KC Star)
