Mr. Green High price of hay squeezes farmers Texas ranchers will be charged up to $120 per round bale By The Associated Press NEOSHO, Mo. Add the high price of hay to the burden on cattle producers coping with prolonged drought in parts of Kansas, Missouri and points south.

With hay production below normal and motor fuel prices soaring, ranchers are paying far more for the feed than they did a year ago. Hay farmer Steve Roark, who also raises 200 beef cattle near Neosho in southwest Missouri, said the calls he has received from ranchers in Kansas and Oklahoma hoping to buy his hay suggest many face tough decisions before winter Timely rains and a surplus of hay from last year have allowed Roark to sell several hundred small square bales this year "Right now, hay is hard to find," Roark said. "And with diesel at $3 a gallon, that just adds that much more to the cost for someone to get the hay home." At Nash Farms, a hay transportation and supply company in Columbus, owner Steve Nash said hay production is a fraction of normal. Meanwhile, his tractors burn eight to 10 gallons of diesel "With diesel at $3 a gallon, that just adds that much more to the cost for someone to get the hay home." Steve Roark hay farmer near Neosho, Mo. per hour, adding $30 per hour to his production costs.

Nash said he is buying hay in western Kansas and Nebraska for $65 per round bale, up from around $20 per bale last year By the time Nash hauls the hay to Texas, ranchers there can expect to pay $100 to $120 per bale for mixed grass and lespedeza hay Small square bales of alfalfa are selling for up to $10 per bale, Nash said. "1 don't know how farmers can afford to feed that to their cattle," he added. Hay yields plummet Gary Naylor, University of Missouri livestock specialist in Buffalo, said the effect pf this year's drought was compounded because crop yields last year were less than average. Hay yields vary within the region but are 25 percent to 50 percent less than normal. "At this point, farmers Last lap RODRICK REIDSMA Salina Journal "All right! High five!" cheers Salinan Robin Gabel from the edge of the pool as her 11-year-old son, Matthew, finishes the final lap of his 150-meter swim Sunday afternoon at Salina Municipal Pool in Kenwood Park.

Matthew, a member of Scout Troop 7, Salina, earned his swimming merit badge Sunday. "It's like sports or anything else," Robin Gabel said. "You can't just drop them off, you've got to be part of it."

"Prct ducers need to skim back to the best cows they've got." Naylor said he has not heard of any entire herds being sold yet but is sure he will if the drought Warm-season grasses such-' as Bermuda and bluestem haven't fared as badly as cool- season grasses but are still he- low average.

Ima Moyer, of Moyer Hay and Cattle Quapaw, said her grass hay hardly yielded anything this year, while the Bermuda grass is "beautiful." Another Bermuda grass grower, Shannon McDonald, of Pellestrina Farms, Oronogo, said she had to skip two cuttings this year Hay is' normally cut every 21 days, she said. Naylor said producers experiencing shortages of quality" forage who do not want to sell livestock can supplement their feed with grain. "Fortunately, grain prices are not terribly high," Naylof' said. "Iowa and Illinois are reporting their third-highest corn crop ever If those areas." have a good crop, we are still in good shape." If the region does not receive enough rain to produce" a good fall crop of hay, though, Missouri will be "in the same boat as Oklahoma and Texas," Naylor said.

Wichita museum takes new course witli dinosaur exliibit On the Record Exploration Place is banking on 'Sue' and other exhibits By The Associated Press WICHITA Place officials are hoping a Tyrannosaurus rex will help turn around the financial fortunes of the struggling muse- dm.

Beginning Saturday Exploration Place will offer the exhibit "A Rex Named Sue," which features a replica of the largest Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever discovered. The exhibit is the first of a five- year museum plan that includes other big traveling dhows, as well as new in-house exhibits. "With this exhibit, we're saying 'This is worth the in. vestment. These types of things belong in Wichita.

This is what people want and what they said Alberto Meloni, the museum's new president. "In turn, I believe, the response will be there." The dinosaur exhibit, ed by the Field Museum in Chicago, also will include interactive displays, hands-on replicas, and videos and graphics exploring dinosaur science. The exhibit will close Oct. 28. The exhibit will cost Exploration Place about $40,000, but it is expected to more than pay for itself through increased attendance, memberships, field trips and sales of dinosaur merchandise, Meloni said.

The exhibit will coincide with a new Robert Redford- narrated Cyberdome show, "Cosmic Collisions," which explains scientific theories about the dinosaurs' demise. "When you bring in a world- class exhibit, you generate excitement," Meloni said. "If you're smart, you build a whole package around that, and it's part of everything you do." Scripture. So that your trust may be in the Lord, I teach you today even you. Proverbs 22:19 (NIV) After the dinosaur exhibit.

Exploration Place will host "In the Dark," which features bats, underground rodents and scary stories. Next year, it will offer "Titanic," a Cleveland-based exhibit that has drawn record crowds elsewhere; "Domino Wizard," in which Robert Speca will attempt a design; and "Backyard insect exhibit featuring giant animatronic butterflies and beetles. Meloni said he hopes to premiere new shows in Wichita. "We're looking now toward 2009, working on contracts for shows that haven't even been built yet," he said. "People shouldn't have to travel to see these types of exhibits.

We have a fantastic institution here, and there's no reason the exhibits shouldn't come to us." SUMAY 'g DMWlie DAILY PICK 3 4-7-8 Braum 's Ice Cream, 1800 W. Crawford Aug. 16. Sausage and hashbrowns not hot enough. Lime squeezers have some type of dried food debris on food-contact surfaces.
