TOPEKA – The July 15 application filing deadline is
fast approaching for the revised Multi-Year Flex Account (MYFA) program, which
allows holders of vested or certified groundwater rights to manage their water
right over a five-year period. The Kansas Department of Agriculture’s (KDA) Division of Water
Resources (DWR) is accepting applications from those who filed drought
emergency term permits in 2011 and now wish to convert to the new program at a
reduced filing fee or for those who did not file drought emergency term permits
last year and wish to avoid enforcement for their 2011 overuse. |

Smooth sumac (Rhus
glabra) is a native shrub found throughout the eastern two-thirds of Kansas. It is commonly
found along fencerows, open fields, roadsides, prairies, and dry rocky hillsides.
The plant provides emergency winter feed for wildlife. Pheasant, quail, wild
turkey, and many song birds include smooth sumac fruit in their diet.
White-tail deer eat the fruit and stems.

Whether trying to determine the amount of nitrogen (N)
trapping or additions from cover crops, the N credit from a legume crop, or how
to make an N recommendation based on soil test results for a given crop and
yield goal, there are certain principles of soil N that must always be
considered. The first thing to understand is that there are three primary pools

* Fixing carbon as a source of additional crop residue and
soil organic matter
* Providing competition to limit weed growth
* Serving as “water pumps” to remove excess moisture on
poorly drained soils |
