Farm To Show Off Improvements

THOMPSON FARM FIELD DAY

by Duane Dailey, Writer University of Missouri Extension New research results will be told at a Sept. 17 field day at the University of Missouri Thompson Farm, Spickard. Woodland improvements on a beef farm will be the newest show-and-tell at the annual event, says Jon Schreffler, MU farm manager. Wooded acres now provide income from timber harvest. Dusty Walter, MU forester, will share management tips. That will be seen first on wagon tours, which start at 4 p.m. The lead talk will be on the impact of deer on planted trees. Ways to control damage will be told. Most of the 10 topics feature beef reproduction and genetics. Those studies

Monday, Sept. 17

from the farm, starting 22 years ago, led to farmer profits from Show-Me-Select replacement heifers. Management and genetics combine to boost herd incomes. The Thompson field day starts with registration at 3:30 p.m. A beef dinner will be at 6 p.m. Exhibits can be seen then. This year, drought helped decide topics. Eric Bailey, MU Extension nutritionist, joins the program for the first time. He will talk twice. His first talk tells about getting weight gain on calves in drought. Next, he gives tips on feeding cows when hay is scarce. The MU research farm plays a part in MU Extension and in teaching graduate students. They will tell of their research. An ongoing study uses hair shedding

scores to find heat-tolerant cattle. Harly Durbin, in animal science genetics, tells of this tool. Emma Knickmeyer, graduate student in reproduction, tells of split-time insemination of heifers. That improves conceptions. Troy Rowan studies the DNA test “GeneMax Advantage.” He’ll tell how that works to rate heifers. Jordan Thomas joins the program this year as an MU Extension beef specialist. He’s new in that job after getting his Ph.D. working at Thompson with David Patterson, MU beef reproduction specialist. Beef economics is always popular.

Levy Hike, Admission Prices Approved

Meeting Set For Aug. 29

The Tri-County R-7 Board of Education set its 2018 tax rate and approved athletic event admission prices during a special meeting held on Thursday, Aug. 23. According to information provided by the district, the board set the new tax rate at 4.2372 on the $100 assessed valuation, with the temporary levy rate set at 26.65 cent for a combined 2018 rate of $4.5037. That amount is an increase from $4.2795 last year due to the Hancock Amendment. The district’s assessed valuation has decreased, so the tax rate increased to balance the effect. It was noted that in previous years, when the assessed val-
