KANSAS YOUTH

We are still recruiting proposals for track session presenters and
consulting group facilitators, for the 3rd Annual Kansas Youth
Leadership Forum, to be held November 22-24, 2002 at Rock Springs 4-H
Center.
Track Sessions (Workshops) will be
offered on Saturday, November 23, 8:30- 9:30 a.m. (session #1);
9:45-10:45 a.m. (session #2); 3:15-4:15 p.m. (session #3). Topics should
center around leadership.
Consulting Groups will be offered on
Saturday, November 23, 11-12 noon. The purpose of the Consulting Groups
is to get youth opinions, ideas and solutions for the participants and
facilitators to take back to their communities.

COUNTY
AGRICULTURAL AGENT TRAINING SESSIONS THIS FALL
Michael Langemeier and Marty Albright will conduct four County
Agricultural Agent training sessions dealing with Farm Record Keeping,
Financial Analysis, and Micro-Computer Financial Plus (MCFP) this fall.
The sessions will cover some record keeping fundamentals and then focus
on financial statements and ratios that are used to evaluate and compare
farm businesses. The functionality and modules within the Windows
version of MCFP will also be demonstrated (e.g. entering checks and
deposits, payroll, inventories, generating reports, etc.).
With the exception of the SW Area,
computer labs have been reserved for these sessions. (We will ask that
Garden City attendees bring their laptops and we will have a few extras
available). Training will begin around 9:30 a.m. and end around 3 p.m..
Agents are welcome to attend whatever session best fits their
schedule.
Additional details and registration
procedures will be sent out later this summer. Please mark your
calendars now for the date and location you might attend. The regional
sessions are scheduled as follows:
Tuesday, September 17, 2002 - Hays,
FHSU Campus
Wednesday, September 18, 2002 - Garden City, SW Area Extension
Office
Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - El Dorado, Butler County Community
College
Tuesday, October 1, 2002 - Manhattan, Public Library

PUBLICATIONS/PRODUCTION
SERVICES UPDATE
Penalty Mail Delay
The Umberger Hall Distribution Center is the only campus facility with
the ability to process penalty mail. However, we are unable to add
postage to the penalty meter head until we receive a letter of approval
from the U.S. Postal Service. Although the letter should have been sent
two months ago, and we have called numerous times to report the problem,
we've been unable to obtain the needed approval. It did not become an
issue until recently when a newsletter arrived for penalty bulk mail
metering, and the meter lacked sufficient postage to process the
mailing. We continue to press the Postal Service for approval and will
inform clients when we are able to process penalty mail again. Thank you
for your understanding.
Publications Available Electronically
The following publications have been deadfiled as printed only
materials, but they will remain available electronically: L-869
"Guidelines for Use of Propeller-Type Irrigation Meters," and
L-877 "Irrigation Water Measurement." --Nancy Peavler npeavler@oznet.ksu.edu
