Community Foundation awards over $100,000 in scholarships

By Ron Wilson, director of the Huck Boyd National Institute for Rural Development at Kansas State University

National Public Radio is broadcasting a news report about a new water conservation effort, but not from Washington DC or southern California. Part of it came from the cab of a combine in Kansas.

They were reporting on an innovative water conservation initiative being led by northwest Kansas farmers.

Gary Moss is a fourth-generation farmer near Hoxie in Sheridan County, and a member of the advisory board for this water conservation project. Moss produces irrigated corn, soybeans and wheat and has a cow-calf herd.

Through the years, Moss has seen the significance of the Ogallala Aquifer, the huge underground water reservoir that underlies the western High Plains. He’s also seen groundwater levels fall.

In 1972, the State of Kansas created a state-level position of Chief Engineer and provided for groundwater management districts across the state. Over the decades, groundwater districts in some regions were seeing depletion of underground water.

Moss and other producers saw a need to get together in their part of northwest Kansas. “In 2008, we started holding meetings because the groundwater table was dropping pretty significantly,” he said. The group worked on ways to use water more efficiently, such as re-nozzling sprinklers.

Under Governor Sam Brownback, the Kansas Department of Agriculture conducted a review of state water policy and recommended changes that were adopted by the Kansas Legislature in 2012. Among other things, the legislation allowed a producer to carry over water credits if water use was reduced.

This provided incentive to conserve, rather than the “use it or lose it” policy of the past. The legislation also authorized groundwater management districts to create what was called a Local Enhanced Management Area.

A LEMA helps groundwater management districts conserve water by setting goals and control measures for a specific locally defined region. “It gave us a tool to more effectively manage water conservation ourselves,” Moss said.

Six high priority areas were identified for water conservation in Sheridan County. Ultimately, a LEMA – known as Sheridan Six -- was proposed and approved by the Chief Engineer.

The Sheridan Six LEMA included 99 sections of land and 193 agricultural water wells. (The LEMA does not apply to residential water wells.) Moss served as chair of the Sheridan Six LEMA advisory board. It was the first LEMA adopted in the State of Kansas.

“In 2013, we adopted a five year plan to reduce the amount of water pumped by 20% compared to the five year average,” Moss said.

In the first year of the plan, world grain prices rose significantly. “It was tough,” Moss said. “Prices were high and some farmers were saying, `Why do we have to cut back on water and production when prices are up?’” However, Sheridan Six stayed the course.

“By the end, we achieved nearly a 30% reduction in water use,” Moss said. Research showed that producers inside the LEMA fared about as well financially as outside producers nearby.

“We want to do the right thing,” Moss said. “We want to sustain our operations and pass it on to our kids.”

Gary’s sons, Jake and Jaxsen, attended K-State and came back to Sheridan County. Jake has a business in Hoxie and Jaxsen is farming with Gary. Each boy has a son of his own, who would represent the sixth generation on the farm.

“I believe (the water policy) is working,” Moss said.

The group’s innovative and voluntary conservation strategy captured national attention. When the new policy was implemented, reporters from places such as the Wall Street Journal and National Public Radio made their way to Hoxie to cover the story. “One NPR reporter rode with me in the cab of my combine,” Moss said.

That’s exciting to hear in a rural community such as Hoxie, population 1,211 people. Now, that’s rural.

It made national news when farmers in Kansas voluntarily adopted this plan to cutback and conserve their own water use. We commend Gary Moss and others involved with Sheridan Six for making a difference with this long-term strategy.

For water conservation and for Kansas, that is good news.

Have the long and hot Summer days been slowing you down? Stop by City Lights Stage in Downtown Salina this Friday from 6-10 p.m. to jump-start your weekend with the "Dog Days of Summer Concert" sponsored by Nex-Tech, Messenger Total Promotions and Salina Downtown Inc.&nbsp;

"This is a new concert for us," said Leslie Bishop, executive director for Downtown Salina Inc. said. "We wanted to do something later in the month because our first Friday wasn't going to be necessarily a musical group like they typically are."

July's First Friday concert featured local dance groups Revolution School of Dance, Tamara Howe School of Dance, Della's Dance Studio, and Taylor's Twirlers.

"We are so excited to have Savanna Chestnut and the Field Hands perform. Savanna was on 'The Voice' Season 20," Bishop said. "We also have the Good Sam Club Band, from six to 10."

Bishop also said the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/foodbybonnie/">Food by Bonnie</a> food truck will be at the concert.&nbsp;

Savanna Chestnut to Headline Salina 'Dog Days of Summer' Concert on July 14

This is day 11 of the Kansas Wheat Harvest Reports, brought to you by the Kansas Wheat Commission, Kansas Association of Wheat Growers, Kansas Grain and Feed Association and the Kansas Cooperative Council.

Northwest Kansas has been struggling to get into a harvest rhythm. With high humidity and scattered showers, combines can’t begin rolling until mid-afternoon in most cases. Overall, harvest is getting started about 10 days to two weeks later than normal. Multiple thunderstorms have come through the area, bringing with them large hail and causing significant losses in wheat fields that are just teetering on being dry enough to harvest.

Lisa Schemm from Sharon Springs reports that their harvest started on July 4, about 10 days later than normal. They still have about six days of harvest left when fields dry out, but they’ve been struggling with high moisture and finding fields that are ready.&nbsp;

“This has been one of the latest harvests to get started,” Schemm said, noting it will be, by far, the latest to finish.

Yields have ranged from 30 bushels per acre on fields with hail damage to 55 bushels per acre on dryland to 87 bushels per acre on irrigated land. Test weights have held steady at 60 to 61 pounds, for now. Protein is 12 percent and better.

The Schemm family is fighting weeds and suckerheads, which have been continuing to stall their harvest. Their harvest crew is test cutting several fields but finding moisture is still too high. While annual rainfall averages 18 to 20 inches in their area, they have received all of that average rainfall since mid-May. However, when it comes as quickly as it has, the soils can’t absorb it and benefit as much as they would if it came a little at a time.

Schemm says they planted a little later than others in the area, which may be contributing to their late harvest, but mostly it is caused by the late suckerheads, which are now even taller than the rest of the field, and the high humidity in the area. Their custom harvest crew is strung out across Kansas, with some in Ulysses and others in Sharon Springs. But both crews are struggling to find wheat that’s dry enough to cut. They are scheduled to move on to Montana at the end of next week.

“Why would harvesters want to stay here and wait for it to dry out when there’s good wheat to cut in Montana?” Schemm asked. Even their best wheat has five-foot tall kochia to go along with it. Farmers are having a hard time getting the weeds under control.

In Dodge City, Mike Schmidt, operations manager for Pride Ag Resources, reports harvest started a week late on June 20, but the first big day of cutting was June 26. They received a rain on July 4 and ever since then, harvest has been slow to pick up the pace.&nbsp;

Proteins have been all over the board, reaching as low as 7 to 11 percent, and as high as 14 percent. Test weights started out strong, reaching as high as 63 to 64 pounds per bushel; however, as harvest progresses, the test weights have gone down and they are now seeing test weights around 59 to 60 pounds per bushel.&nbsp;

Back in April around Easter, the area received rain in the northern portion of their territory. This saved some fields and got the crop over the hump to potentially be harvested. The southern half was not as fortunate and missed those rain events.&nbsp;

Some farmers in the area have had to control weeds, which not only pushes off harvest, but is yet another costly input to apply to a very short crop.&nbsp;

Although they have not reached Schmidt’s projection yet, he anticipates seeing a third of the wheat they usually bring in. It is still early yet, however, since there are lots of acres left to be cut.&nbsp;

Wheat that comes into the Dodge City facility usually goes to the gulf for export, but not currently. Instead, this wheat will be loaded onto trains to either go to Wichita mills, terminals or off to California.&nbsp;

In North Central Kansas, Mike Jordan from Mitchell County reports that they finished up their harvest on July 4.

“We were some of the last to finish; everybody around us was done around the 4 and 5 of July,” he explained. Jordan says that about one-third of all the fields in his area were abandoned due to thin and weedy wheat. They did not see any hail damage on their crop.&nbsp;

Jordan reports that he was getting good proteins on his wheat, ranging from 13 to 16 percent. They sacrificed yields for this high protein; however, those being just about 12 bushels per acre. His whole farm average landed in the teens this year, unable to pull through the abnormal weather and the effects of these changing patterns.&nbsp;

All of Jordan’s fields are no-till, and he said that some in the area have had continuous wheat yielding in the 30’s, with some even breaking 40 bushels per acre.

“If you wanted to walk across the fields stepping on the wheat plants along the way, you would be doing a lot of jumping,” Jordan notes. In Jordan’s years of farming, he says that he hasn’t experienced a wheat crop this bad since 1989.

“We are really just living rain to rain at this point,” he laments. He continues to say that, although their wheat crop struggled, there is corn in the area that could turn out well. Jordan is quick to acknowledge that, despite this discouraging wheat crop, there is hope for this year for surrounding farmers.

Day 11, Kansas Wheat Harvest Report

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Cheap Trick is coming to Salina this autumn.&nbsp;

Cheap Trick is scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 5 in the Stiefel Theatre, 151 S. Santa Fe Avenue.

Tickets start at $69 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. Buy in person at the Stiefel Theatre Box Office or online at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.stiefeltheatre.org/">www.stiefeltheatre.org</a>. The box office phone number is 785-827-1998.

Cheap Trick are an indisputable American institution, beloved around the globe since 1974 for their instantly identifiable, hugely influential, brand of pop rock 'n' roll. The band – Robin Zander (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick Nielsen (lead guitar), Tom Petersson (bass guitar), and Daxx Nielsen (drums) – are true pioneers with an unparalleled streak of certifiably classic tunes, from "He's A Whore," "California Man" and "Dream Police" to "Surrender” and "I Want You To Want Me.” After a year of show cancellations due to the pandemic, Cheap Trick began touring once again with the same lineup of the last several years which includes Robin Taylor Zander on rhythm guitar and vocals.

In 2016 Cheap Trick was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The induction honored both the band and the pioneering sound that has earned them total record sales well in excess of 20 million featured appearances and more than 40 international gold and platinum certifications. Cheap Trick closed the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony with a show-stealing performance that prompted Rolling Stone to rave, "Their smoking three-song set (was) played to perfection, with Zander hitting all the notes he hit at Budokan back in 1978."

“Since their first album in 1977, Cheap Trick has consistently put out perfectly polished power-pop and hard rock gems, and that tradition continues on In Another World...All we can do is be thankful for the longevity and endless creativity of the quartet from Rockford, Illinois.” &nbsp;– Associated Press

Cheap Trick to perform in Salina in Oct.

On Thursday and Friday, July 13 and 14, APAC Shears of Salina will complete the City of Salina’s annual ultrathin bonded asphalt surface project. The schedule is as follows, weather permitting:

Motorists are urged to avoid work zones altogether or proceed with caution for the safety of the crews performing the work.

This type of preventative maintenance is fairly new to Salina but has been used to help extend the life of many roads around the State of Kansas. It consists of a thin, coarse aggregate hot mix over a special asphalt membrane similar to a chip seal but placed in one pass with a spray paver. 

The membrane prevents water intrusion and provides a superior bond to the old asphalt. The overlay can disperse water quickly off the surface, which reduces roadway spray from vehicles and provides greater visibility and traction in wet weather. UBAS has performed well for other cities and provides a good friction surface in wet weather. 

UBAS can be installed quickly, and asserts a longer lifespan (8-10 years) than micro-surfacing (6-7 years). The $759,000 project is a major part of the City of Salina’s $4.7 million 2023 maintenance capital improvement program.

Saline County Booking Activity, July 13

This is day 10 of the Kansas Wheat Harvest Reports, brought to you by the Kansas Wheat Commission, Kansas Association of Wheat Growers, Kansas Grain and Feed Association and the Kansas Cooperative Council.

Based on July 1 conditions, Kansas' winter wheat production is forecast at 208 million bushels, down 15 percent from last year, according to the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Average yield is forecast at 32 bushels per acre, down 5 bushels from 2022. Area to be harvested for grain is estimated at 6.5 million acres, down 2 percent from a year ago.

This week wheat coming in looks to be all over the board, according to Jim Bob Lewton, senior Vice President of Grain Operations with the Konza Coop in Pratt.&nbsp;

Harvest in and surrounding Pratt began June 20, about seven to ten days later than when they usually start. Yields have been averaging about 25 bushels per acre, but some fields have been better than others. Proteins have been high, reaching up into 12-13 percent. These recent rains have been causing test weights to dip, remaining in the 58-60 pounds per bushel region. Moisture has been varying with these recent rains, although the grain has remained dry enough for harvesting. Now all that is left is to wait for conditions to dry enough for farmers to get combines in the field.&nbsp;

Lewton predicts harvest will be complete next week. They anticipate that they will only receive 30-40 percent of their usual amount of wheat.&nbsp;

Chris Tanner from Norton reports his harvest began on July 4 and will last about another week, barring rain delays. He said harvest is far later than normal and he is fighting weed pressure.

“I’m amazed at the resiliency of wheat, given what it looked like through the winter,” he said, noting that the Westbred variety Grainfield has been doing well for him.

This year’s harvest is much better than last year for Tanner, who said this is going to be a “highly average year” for the acres he is able to harvest. Even so, about 30 percent of his wheat was zeroed out due to the drought.

Tanner reports that his test weights have been averaging 61 to 62 pounds per bushel, except for the wheat that was hailed on, which was only in the low 50s. Yields are ranging from 15 to 70 bushels per acre, with an overall farm average anticipated to be 25. Protein is about 13 percent.

﻿It was truly a family wheat harvest with four generations in the field. He was fortunate this year that his son, daughter, son-in-law and 6-month-old granddaughter were able to join him, his brother and his father for this year’s harvest.

Evan Lesser, who farms near Palco in Graham County, reports that harvest began on June 26 and he has about 2 days left.

Test weights are ranging from 60 to 64 pounds per bushel and protein measured 15 percent. May rains came a little too late to positively affect yield, but they did help with improving grain fill and test weights. Yields are ranging from 22 to 50 bushels per acre, depending on which fields caught the rain.

Lesser says yields were much better last year, with his 2022 farm average better than even his highest yields this year. Overall, this has been a disappointing year for his wheat, one of the worst since he started farming in 2010.&nbsp; He does, however, have high hopes for corn and grain sorghum.

He reported that Kansas Wheat Alliance’s KS Territory has been an excellent variety for him this year.

SALINA, Kan. — The Bennington State Bank (BSB), a locally owned and operated community bank, added significantly to its Salina presence beginning July 3 as they opened a new loan production office (LPO) and deposit production office (DPO) at 201 E Iron Avenue, according to a media release from the institution.

“We are very excited about this opportunity for BSB to serve the financial needs in Salina. Expanding our footprint in Salina Downtown with the opening of this new location underscores our commitment to our customers and communities we serve,” said BSB President and CEO Darren Gragg.

BSB has a shared space arrangement with Iron Insurance Partners (IIP). This arrangement encompasses joint property ownership. Each entity will operate independently within the shared premises.

Leaders from both organizations said a commitment to Salina and a desire to expand their presence in a revitalized downtown were the driving factors behind these strategic decisions of utilizing the existing location of IIP and creating a shared space with BSB. BSB will utilize the first floor and part of the 2nd floor and IIP will occupy the 2nd floor.

“In a variety of ways over the years, we’ve tried to be a strong partner to Salina by reinvesting in the community,” said Gragg. “This is another step in that direction, one more way for us to demonstrate that we’re here for the long haul. We’ve been looking for the right downtown space for a long time and the shared space with IIP is a great opportunity and investment in Salina Downtown. We are excited to be in the existing IIP building and sharing space with another business that is committed to serving our community.”

Shawn Myers, IIP’s CEO and Partner, echoed those sentiments, saying IIP is proud to share space with a like-minded community stalwart.

“When Bennington State Bank needed space to grow, we looked at it as a win-win situation for both organizations to support our growth plans in a very collaborative way,” Myers said. “I believe when you have a community that you’re invested in, it’s important that you work with those great partners that are also in that community.”

Gragg said the downtown expansion allows the bank to accommodate staff growth and enhance its presence in the heart of Salina. The new location will become a center for the bank’s expanding Trust and Wealth Management division and will also house several executives and Treasury staff members. The LPO/DPO is not a full-service branch office and will not include depository operations or an ATM. The existing BSB locations at South Ohio Street and South 9th Street will continue to offer full services to customers. 

Gragg said the growth allows the bank to better serve its customers through the personal connection that has been a hallmark of the institution throughout its 135-year history. “When you focus on customer service, you can either do that through technology or people,” he said. “And we’ve always tried to do that by finding that mix between providing the technology that people want to use but with the human touch and that has created the need for additional staff.”

Myers said that IIP also views its expansion as a more efficient way to serve its clients. The insurance agency was born in January 2022 after the merger of Salina’s Assurance Partners and Keller Leopold Insurance of Garden City. It will continue to headquarter in Salina, now with its commercial insurance division operating out of 201 E. Iron Ave., while its personal division gains its own dedicated space with 15 to 18 employees moving to 116 W. Iron Ave.

Gragg said that the growth of both organizations adds to the ongoing momentum that downtown Salina has enjoyed. Above all, he said, it signifies long-term plans to remain as anchor businesses in Salina.
