Two features from the Kansas Application Institute co-sponsored by
K-State Research and Extension this week in Great Bend:  


Cropping systems specialist Greg Kruger of the University of Nebraska
looks at what's ahead in crop input application technology, such as
boom height control and independent nozzle control, with the emphasis
on controlling spray drift.


K-State weed control specialist Dallas Peterson talks about the two
new herbicide-tolerant seed technologies that will debut in a couple
of years...the 2,4-D and dicamba resistant soybeans that may be an
answer to the glyphosate resistance problems that have developed in
soybean production.


And for this week's horticulture segment, an agribusiness development
specialist with the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Annarose Hart,
talks about the continuing growth of farmers' markets in Kansas.


Agriculture Today is broadcast each weekday morning at 10:00 on KFRM
Radio, Clay Center (550 AM) and KLOE Radio, Goodland (730 AM),  which
collectively reach 75 counties in Kansas, parts of southern Nebraska,
eastern Colorado and northern Oklahoma...the broadcast can also be
heard over the K-State Radio Network website.  

K-State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well-being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K-State campus, Manhattan.
