brought worshippers to Northbranch
Friends Church where Pastor Jon
Harkness welcomed everyone and gave
announcements. He also made note of
special prayer needs with special prayer
for each one. Musicians were Rosetta

As a gift from the church, Pastor Jon
presented Grace with a Bible with sig-
natures of the congregation in the fly-
leaf covers.
"The Bible and the Spirit" was Pas-
tor Jon's message title, with text taken
from John 14:6 - "I am the Way, the
Truth, and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me." Some of
his thoughts included the idea of think-
ing as the Bible as a road map, likened
to today's GPS, with the Holy Spirit
being the leader. Some folk pay no
attention to the Bible, which when
studied will lead to the Holy Spirit
giving guidance. While the Bible is
truth, our interpretation may not al-
ways be correct. Our path ahead may
be rough at times but we can trust the
B ible as our"GPS" to lead us in correct
paths.
A time of Open Worship (Quaker
Communion) followed with Pastor Jon
dismissing the service. Visitors in the
service were Ardean Jeffery; Judy
Pierce; Paul and Kathy Chapman and
Claire; Jo Abel; Mim Johnson; Evan
and Jaci Firner and Maddox.
Jean Davis and Ione Shipley had
dinner together at a cafe in Red Cloud.
"I would give no thought of what the
word might say of me, if I could only
transmit to posterity the reputation of
an honest man." Sam Houston

Post Rock Answers
By Neil Cates, Post Rock Extension
With historic high cattle markets
and less than impressive grain mar-
kets, I have noticed more acres of farm
ground being planted into feedstuffs
for cattle. One of the more popular
feedstuffs is forage sorghum. Forage
sorghum offers a variety of benefits as
a feedstuff for livestock.
What are the benefits offorage sor-
ghum ?
Forage sorghums are versatile. They
use less water than some of our other
traditional forage crops and when man-
aged correctly contain high quality
nutrients for cattle. Depending on your
goals forage sorghums can be grazed,
hayed or put into silage. Once your
goals are established, you can select
the sorghum type and variety to match
your needs.
Sorghum types have a better heat
and drought tolerance than corn or
alfalfa, and require less water than
corn silage. This makes it a great op-
tion for our area with the
unpredictability of precipitation.
What type of sorghum should I
tlant ?
There are many sorghum types and
each one possesses their own benefits.
Brown midrib, or BMR, forage sor-
ghum has been around for many years
and is becoming increasingly popular.
The brown midrib trait has between 20
to 50 percent less lignin content. Lig-
nin is indigestible by the animal and
protects plant fiber from being digested.
With reduced lignin, there is better
fiber digestibility and increased en-
ergy content in the forage.
On the down side, BMRs as a whole,
yield about 10 percent less than non
BMRs and tend to be less drought
Darcy
Williams
tolerant than non BMRs. With the de-
creased lignin content, BMR can have
problems with standability as well.
Photoperiod-sensitive (PPS) forage
sorghum is another type of sorghum
available. It remains vegetative until
day length decreases to less than 12.5
hours a day. It remains vegetative long
into the growing season. PPS forage
sorghum does not produce seeds in
Kansas, which extends the harvest win-
dow for hay production. The advan-
tage of this is it can produce high
tonnage and provides a long window
of opportunity for haying in the fail,
because it will not be maturing. PPS
forage sorghum is best suited for those
interested in haying the crop, not for
silage production.
For those interested in grazing, sor,
ghum-sudan grass is a good option. It
possesses great regrowth potential.
Sorghum-sudan grasses tend to be a
more drought tolerant and more toler-
ant of high pH soils than forage sor-
ghum. On the down side, its feed qual-
ity is reduced later in the season.
To successfully raise forage sor-
ghums for feed, a good nutrient man-
agement program is important. Over-
fertilizing with nitrogen can lead to
high nitrate levels in the plant,,possibly
leaving it unsuitable for livestock.
Forage sorghums are a great option
for a livestock feed source. However,
they can accumulate nitrates and pro-
duce prussic acid, both of which are
toxic to livestock. Therefore, forage
testing for those compounds is a must
before feeding, which is a service pro-
vided by Extension. This year K-State
will have five variety testing sites across
the state evaluating corn and sorghum
silages, as well as sorghum and millet
hay types. I am excited about this as it
will help us better serve you in your
variety selection for these feedstuffs.
