The Kansas Forest Service and Kansas State Extension Service will once again be offering many species of trees and shrubs for sale for planting for conservation purposes. These conservation purposes includes windbreaks, woodlots, riparian planting, wildlife habitat and Christmas trees. Deciduous trees come as bare root trees only. However, evergreen trees come in bundles of 25 in both bare root trees and container grown trees. Prices for this year have not been determined but will not be much different than last year when bare root trees cost $17 per bundle and the containerized evergreens cost $45 per bundle of 25.
Some of the tree species available includes bald cypress, black walnut, bur oak, northern red oak, pecan, redbud and shumard oak. These deciduous trees come as one or two year old seedlings and are available as bare root plants only.
There are several species of evergreens available. However, the eastern redcedar and eastern white pine are the only two species that are likely to survive long term here in southeastern Kansas. The others are very susceptible to disease and insect attack.
Along with the trees there are several shrubs available as well. These shrubs include American plum, choke cherry, elderberry, fragrant sumac, golden currant, lilac and Peking catoneaster. These also come in bundles of 25 bare root plants for $17 per bundle.
Cattle Management Strategies Workshop
This meeting is scheduled for the evening of November 19 at the Ft. Scott Livestock Market in Ft. Scott. There will be a sponsored meal beginning at 5:30 p.m. with the meeting to begin at 6:00 p.m.
Dr. Chris Reinhardt, Extension Feedlot specialist from K-State will be talking about Employee Management & Expectations. Dr. Larry Hollis, Extension Beef Veterinarian will be discussing Cattle Handling and Livestock Injection sites. Dr. Karl Harborth will be talking about the economics of cutting and vaccinating bulls prior to sale of these animals.
Prior to the meeting, Karl will be on hand to work up rations for wintering calves. Anyone who would be interested in having some ration work done needs to contact the Extension office in Ft. Scott to set up an appointment to meet with Karl.
Also, you need to call in a meal reservation by November 13. Call the Extension office in Ft. Scott at 620-223-3720.
