Farmer Frank's COLBY KANSAS update 2007



Did you ever hear the John Denver song about growing up

as a country boy in Colby Kansas?



COLBY News: Wheat hist $8/bu. Wow. Failed wheat crops in Eastern KS and OK cause record prices for wheat.

Other countries were having bad years as well. OK is looking for seed wheat.

A late freeze got much of the KS and OK wheat this year.

Milo looks good in Thomas County. Those who don't know what milo is, it is a

grain used to feed cattle (and now to make ethonol).

BIG Colby news - they are to build an ethanlol plant South of town.

The plant in Oakley continues to expand and is a big success. The Oakley

plant uses milo.
