Tigers Slide to No. 17 in AFCA Top 25

Posted on

WACO, Texas – Following a loss on the road at Missouri Western on Thursday, Fort Hays State moved down to No. 17 in the AFCA Division II Top 25 Poll, released on Monday (Sept. 10). The Tigers were No. 5 in the nation following one week of play, but slide down 12 spots after a 23-13 loss to the Griffons in St. Joseph.

The MIAA now has four teams in the Top 25 of the poll. Northwest Missouri State moved up two spots in the rankings from No. 6 to No. 4, benefitting from losses by West Florida (No. 2 last week) and Fort Hays State (No. 5 last week). Fort Hays State is at No. 17 and Central Missouri is No. 20, both at 1-1 so far on the season after FHSU defeated UCM in the season opener. Pittsburg State jumps in this week at No. 23 after a 2-0 start to the season.

Fort Hays State hosts Washburn this Saturday (Sept. 15) in Hays at 7 pm.

Local entities haven’t yet determined the total cost of the damage, but they expect to have those numbers next week.

Officials say development along Wildcat Creek contributed to the severity of the flooding. Nearly 9 inches of rain (23 centimeters) caused the creek to burst its banks, forcing more than 300 people to evacuate their homes.

The city’s community development assistant director, Chad Bunger, says Manhattan sits at the confluence of two rivers — the Kansas River and the Big Blue River. He says homes and businesses are situated near the drain of the bathtub for Wildcat Creek watershed.

Cover Crop Field Day Planned for September 26th near Timken

Posted on

LaCrosse, Ks – A Cover Crop Field Day is scheduled for Seotember 26th starting at 4:30 pm. This event will start at the Kevin Wiltse farm located 5 miles South of Timken, Ks on CR 320 Rd to Ave V, then 3 ¼ miles East. Farm is located on the South side of the Road

The tour will proceed to the field to look at cover crops in a crop rotation and discuss how this operation is working, then to view grazing on cover crops. Doug Spencer, NRCS Range Conservationist will be on hand to discuss grazing options and how this can be incorporated into grazing plans. If weather permits we will look at a newly planted pollinator field and Candy Thomas, NRCS Regional Soil Specialist will discuss soil health and how cover crops improve the health of the soil.

A light meal will be served sponsored by Star Seed Company. Please, a courteous reservation would be appreciated. This event is hosted by NRCS and the conservation Disrticts of Rush, Barton and Pawnee Counties.

Cover Crops are an important part of any crop rotation. Deciding how they will fit into your crop rotation is totally up to you. The target is to improve the health of the soil so that it will increase water holding capacities, increase organic matter, increase nutrient cycling, improve compaction issues, provide weed control and reduce runoff. The benefits of no-till farming are economic as well as environmental. The no-till farmers can see an increase in the organic matter of the soil, and a decrease in the amount of erosion. More organic matter and less erosion mean more fertility, less fertilizer, and higher yields. Additionally, with the advances in cover crops and green manures, the no-till farmer can greatly reduce some of high-cost herbicides. All area producers are encouraged to attend this field day to see how cover crops could inprove your soil health and profits in your operations bottom line.

Kansas post office dedication ceremony honors Amelia Earhart

Posted on

ATCHISON, Kan. – U.S. Senator Pat Roberts and Representative Lynn Jenkins will be in Atchison on Tuesday, September, 11, 2018, to host a post office dedication ceremony in honor of Atchison native and aviation legend, Amelia Earhart. Bram Kleppner, Earhart’s great nephew, as well as representatives from the Atchison Chamber of Commerce and Atchison Mayor Allen Reavis will be in attendance.

The Amelia Earhart U.S. Post Office Act, renames Earhart’s hometown post office in Atchison, Kansas, in her honor. The legislation was introduced by U.S. Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) in the Senate and Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins (R-Kan.) in the House in November 2017.

“Amelia Earhart was one of the great pioneers of our nation, whose story began at home in Atchison,” said Senator Roberts. “She is an inspiration to all aviators and a role model to women around the world. Renaming this post office is one more way to honor her incredible legacy.”

“Although she was tragically lost at sea while attempting a flight around the world, Amelia Earhart’s legacy still soars today,” said Congresswoman Jenkins. “Growing up in Kansas, Amelia Earhart’s courageous actions inspired me, and many others, to dream big and accomplish lofty goals. It is only right that we rename her hometown post office in her honor, to continue her legacy and inspire future generations.”

Before Amelia Earhart became an aviation hero, she grew up in her family’s home – called the Otis house after her grandfather – and lived there until the age of twelve. Although she lived in several different cities, she always considered Atchison her hometown and the town is proud to be one of the few tangible associations with the legend.
