Are you concerned with pesticide drift? Many Kansans, particularly specialty crop producers, have been negatively impacted by chemical spray drift, causing monetary damages to crops and impacting personal health.
Join Kansas Rural Center over the lunch hour Friday, August 9th at 12pm for an hour with Roger McEowen, Professor of Agricultural Law and Taxation at Washburn University School of Law. We will discuss drift; your legal rights, how to protect yourself, and possible avenues for compensation. We'll also cover additional tools, such as the DriftWatch registry and how to submit a complaint to the Kansas Department of Agriculture through their Pesticide Complaint Form. us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEudOippjwpE9wLy…

Today is the one year anniversary of the War of Ukrainian Independence. This song cut me to the quick...a different battle but a similar war :( Thank you Nick for your art.

Lyrics: Oh, brother Green
Won't you come to me?
For I am shot and bleeding
Dig me a grave
And stow me away
For I am not shovelin'
And every war is a rich man's war
And every fight a failure
Please know that we
Are not your enemy
Please know that we forgive you
I grew up on a battlefield
Where boys lay dead and dying
Don't tread on we, oh brother Green
To reach you, I am trying
Jim Riley, he nearly starved you see
Faced every shell at Vicksburg
The western shore
He swam until he reached
And I still hear that water
I will not fear that water
