FOOD*A*SYST
PROGRAMS SCHEDULED
Kansas Food*A*Syst programs are scheduled at several counties around the
state. These programs are free of charge and a manual will be provided
to those attending. The target audience is smaller producers of beef,
poultry, and fruits/vegetables, especially those who direct market.
Based on the risk assessment concept from Farm*A*Syst, growers can
improve the microbiological safety of food produced.
This is the schedule of meetings and
locations. Producers wishing to participate can call the Extension
office listed to RSVP. For additional information, contact Judy
Willingham, 785-532-1213, or e-mail jwilling@oznet.ksu.edu

HAZARDOUS
OCCUPATION TRAINING
Many of you are planning a Hazardous Occupation Training in your
county and we have had several inquiries about when you have scheduled
these trainings. An e-mail went to all the county agents to reply with
your dates. We are currently in the process of generating a list so that
we can post those dates onto a website for your information.
That address will be http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/root/hot.htm
. If you have not submitted your training dates, you can e-mail them to abrandon@bae.ksu.edu
. If you have any questions about the Hazardous Occupation Training, you
may contact James (Pat) Murphy at 785-532-5813 or pmurphy@bae.ksu.edu
. --Arlene Brandon
ORDER FORMS SENT
The Third Quarter 2001 and June 2001 New Publications order forms have
been sent. Please remember to mail or fax preorders to the Distribution
Center by April 2.
4-H Orders
Most Third Quarter items are 4-H publications. Remember that revised
items appear on monthly order forms, and a number of 4-H items are under
revision. Please watch for those items on upcoming monthly order forms.
CCS Orders
The order form for 4-H CCS publications is scheduled to be sent Friday,
March 16. Please watch for the special form so Kansas orders can be
consolidated and submitted in time to qualify for the statewide
discount. More information will be sent with the order form.
Late Deliveries
We apologize for late delivery of some of your monthly and quarterly
orders. Due to some unanticipated delays in order processing,
publication delivery is behind. If some publications your office has
ordered ARE NO LONGER NEEDED, please e-mail to cancel the order at orderpub@lists.oznet.ksu.edu
. If you still want all of the publications currently on order, no
further action is needed. The order will be filled as soon as possible.
Multiple Mailing and Invoices
As you may have noted, your office may have received multiple mailings
and multiple invoices for publications sent at or near the same time. We
are working to resolve this problem, but some orders that were entered
before we discovered this issue are still being processed. We appreciate
your patience. --Nancy Peavler npeavler@oznet.ksu.edu
CONTINUING
EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
Kansas State University announces "Connecting Your Classroom to
Kansas Agriculture," workshops of interest to K-12 teachers. The
workshops will be held from June 11-16, 2001 and July 9-14, 2001 on
K-State's Manhattan campus.
The workshops will allow the
teacher to tour agriculture in unexpected places, discover new ways to
integrate agriculture into current classroom curriculum, speak with
researchers, and gather free classroom resources. Three hours of
graduate credit will be paid by agriculture donors in the form of a $400
scholarship. Scholarship application forms must be postmarked by
April 15, 2001, accompanied by a $125 application fee.
For more information, call
