Nigeria has a food security problem as water for crops is harder to find
KWALKWALAWA, Nigeria — After two decades of working his farm in northwestern Nigeria, Umaru Muazu now struggles to find water for his crops.
A murky puddle is all that remains of a river near his 5-hectare farm and those of others in this community in arid Sokoto state. Because the 62-year-old Muazu can't afford to dig a well to keep crops like millet and maize from withering, he might abandon farming.

Precious memories of the Kansas wheat harvest as time spins ever onward
Each year, Kansas farmers go out to harvest their wheat crops. (Jill Hummels for Kansas Reflector) My high school class from South Haven has a group text where we share things going all the way back to a time when the world was so different than is the case today. Yes, that was longer ago than all of us probably want to admit, and my classmates and I have certainly been around the blocks of life between then, and now. I am often reminded of a classic Jim Croce song, 'Photographs and Memories,' when I think of our group. Recently, one of my classmates posted that he was going to retire from farming and that this would be his last wheat harvest. I remarked that the moment was most likely going to be bittersweet. His decision caused me to think about some of the things that shape us and guide us through the inevitable challenges of life. When the time came for me to go to college (the University of Kansas), and then on to law school, leading up to the start of my career as a Wall Street lawyer and investment banker, I made a vow to my parents. I promised that in addition to normal periodic visits for the various holidays during the year, I would always return for the wheat harvest. And so I did. One day, it was the pinstriped suit in New York. The next day it was overalls and a John Deere cap. I spent that time on a John Deere model 95 combine with a 16 foot header. Air conditioned? Of course — there was nothing like that 20 mph hot wind out of the southwest coating me with chaff. GPS guidance? Hell, yes. My left eye and my right eye could keep a pretty straight line in our fields on the family farm. We harvested around 50 acres on a good day, and my dad would take the wheat to the elevator in Rome with his 1950 Chevy truck, filled to the gills with about 200 bushels. None of this was work. It was pure joy. My colleagues at the law firm no doubt wondered why on God's green earth I would want to leave a climate-controlled office, and a pretty comfortable lifestyle, for the heat and dust of a Kansas wheat field. The answer was simple. It was coming home. Those memories will remain with me forever. Now, we harvest wheat fields on other farms that stretch to the horizon, and then some. Now, we sit in air-conditioned cabs and use GPS mapping to guide us through the fields. But what remains unchanged is the connection to the land. It is a source of comfort, especially in troubled times. There are some lines in a great Van Morrison song, 'Someone Like You,' where he talks about being 'up and down the highway in all kinds of foreign lands,' and being 'all around the world marching to the beat of a different drum.' Those words fit me pretty well. That said, my heart has always been in those Kansas wheat fields, and they help me to have a perspective on today's world. That connection to the land is a bond that will never be broken. Ben Palen is a Kansas native and a fifth-generation farmer and agriculture consultant in Colorado and Kansas.

Spring storms challenge Four States farmers
CRAWFORD, Co., Kan. — Last night's weather moved through parts of the region, impacting farms crops in the Four States. Owners of Misty Morning Farms say the 'excess moisture' from spring-time storms, impacts and contributes to the struggle in-season produce like tomatoes, potatoes, and cucumbers see. Owner Charlie Phillips says other factors like high winds and lack of sunshine, can also cause damage. But he says they've been in business for about ten years and are from the area, so they anticipate the impacts of the weather here in the Four States. And while weather can bring setbacks to their crops, it's something they've learned to manage. 'Mother Nature is always in control, but, you know, we do have fairly decent drainage or we try to have better drainage with our stuff. We still lose product or crops because of the excess rainfall, right now it's you know, there's only so much you can do when it rains, you know, every other day,' said Charlie Phillips, Misty Morning Farms Co-owner. Phillips says they plan to open a store – on their farm – sometime in the near future – right now rain is hindering that process so they will continue to sell their produce at area farmer's markets.

County commissioners to look possibly banning some types of fireworks
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — After a one-week postponement, the El Paso County Commissioners Court will hear a report, discuss and possibly take action on Monday, June 9 to place limitations on the sale and use of some types of fireworks this July Fourth season. The Commissioners Court is scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. Monday on the third floor of Enrique Moreno County Courthouse, 500 E. San Antonio. According to the agenda backup material, County commissioners have three options on fireworks. The first, they can do nothing. The legal fireworks sale period is June 24 through midnight on July Fourth. The Commissioners Court can also adopt an order restricting 'skyrockets with sticks and missiles with fins' if the area meets a minimum average score of 575 on the Keetch-Bryram Dought Index (KBDI). El Paso County had a drought index score of 703 as of May 29. According to the National Fire Danger Rating System, El Paso is in the 'high' fire danger category, the County said. According to the agenda, most of El Paso County is listed as being in 'exceptional drought' and the remaining part of the County is in 'extreme drought,' according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. The third option is for the county judge to issue a more restrictive declaration of local disaster if there is an 'imminent threat of widespread or severe damage, injury or loss of life' from any natural or man-made cause including fire. Under this scenario, the declaration can last seven days unless the Commissioners Court extends it. County staff, meanwhile, is recommending the second option of banning the sale and use of some types of fireworks consisting of rockets with sticks and missiles with fins. This order would not prohibit 'permissible fireworks,' according to the agenda. Under this scenario, the order would expire if the Texas Forest Service determines drought conditions no longer exist in the County or on July 5, whichever is earlier.
