The U.S. Cattlemen’s Association responded to efforts in the Missouri State Legislature to regulate products sold, distributed for use, or administered to a person that are designed to alter their genome. 

Missouri House Bill 1169 attempts to implement a regulatory framework for labeling products that could act as “gene therapy” or that could potentially impact, alter, or introduce genetic material or a genetic change in the user. 

This came about because of concerns that mRNA vaccines are being introduced into the nation’s cattle supply. 

“The USCA strongly supports truth in labeling on consumer goods and full transparency throughout the supply chain,” the group said in a statement. “Currently, there are no mRNA vaccines licensed for beef cattle in the U.S..” 

Similar legislation is also being introduced in Tennessee, Arizona, and other states. The USCA will be forming a task force to develop a fact- and science-based assessment of the issue.

With a record-breaking amount of construction projects being done the Missouri Department of Transportation is encouraging people to drive safely in work zones. &nbsp;

Northwest District Engineer Marty Liles says last year the department saw fewer traffic crashes in work zones and he hopes that trend continues downward.&nbsp;

"But we continue to see time after time, these workzones and these fatalities in our work zones," Liles tells KFEQ/St. Joseph Post. "And it all goes back into motorists not necessarily paying attention, they're not moving over for those situations, they're not slowing down in those work zones as they're going through."&nbsp;

Across the state $1.8 Billion worth of road and bridge projects are being done this construction season&nbsp;

Liles says MoDOT has seen some accidents in work zones on I-29, I-35, and Highway 36.&nbsp;

"That's one of the reasons why we definitely want to make sure that as we get into the construction season and really start getting big into the construction season, we want to make sure that we get the awareness out to the public," Liles says. "It's one of the reasons why we do this work zone awareness every year."&nbsp;

MoDOT participates in Work Zone Awareness week every April. &nbsp;

Liles says it's a dangerous job for those working in those construction zones&nbsp;

"We've had a lot of construction workers, contract workers, MoDOT workers killed in the line of duty while they're out there doing that work," Liles explains. &nbsp;

MoDOT encourages drivers to buckle up and put their phones down while traveling through work zones&nbsp;

"You can text, you can do that once you get to your destination or before you leave that destination, but definitely keep your eyes on the road and be aware of your surroundings," Liles says.&nbsp;

Liles says it's important to pay attention so workers and drivers alike can make it home safely every day.&nbsp;

A new leader for the St. Joseph School Board hopes to keep the positive momentum rolling for the St. Joseph School District. &nbsp;

LaTonya Williams was unanimously voted as the new school board President, replacing David Foster who announced he is stepping down from the position, but will remain on the school board.

Williams says her biggest goal in her new position, after serving as Vice President over the past year, is to continue the goals of the board&nbsp;

"Keep the momentum going, there's a lot happening, a lot of moving parts, a lot of pieces," Williams tells reporters.&nbsp;

Williams says the number one issue being school boundaries&nbsp;

"It's a lot of different puzzles in a box all together, it's a mess and I want to get on the boundaries immediately," Williams says. &nbsp;

Williams says other issues she hopes to tackle are in early childhood development and academics.&nbsp;

Williams says the school board has to be open to ideas from the public, even if they are critical.&nbsp;

"I look at that as a good thing," Williams explains. "Criticism is always amazing when it's constructive and helpful."&nbsp;

Williams says past financial mismanagement has created skepticism about the school district&nbsp;

"But I was always taught that you should be a part of the change that you want to see and with all of us coming together we're just going to knock it out of the park," Williams says. "It's going to take some time though."&nbsp;

Williams understands some of the public question the school board's decision to retain Superintendent Gabe Edgar after his DWI.&nbsp;

"People question our decision and I can completely understand that" Williams says. "But they should also trust our roles and our leadership."&nbsp;

The USDA announced the availability of $20 million to deliver broadband technical assistance resources for rural communities and to support the development and expansion of broadband co-ops. 

The agency is offering the funding under the new Broadband Technical Assistance Program. 

The program supports technical assistance projects such as feasibility studies, completing network designs, and developing broadband financial assistance applications. 

Applicants can choose from one of three funding pools. “USDA is committed to making sure that people, no matter where they live, have access to high-speed internet,” says USDA Under Secretary for Rural Development Xochitl Torres Small. “That’s how you grow the economy not just in rural communities but across the nation.” 

The undersecretary also says the agency is partnering with small towns, local utilities, cooperatives, and private companies to increase access to a critical service. “The service builds brighter futures by creating more opportunities across rural America,” she says.

The Ag Retailers Association says it’s cautiously optimistic the Farm Bill gets written on time. 

However, the association is worried that debt limit discussions may interfere. 

It’s going to be tough this year with the farm bill coming up right as the debt ceiling discussion hits the deadline,” says Hunter Carpenter with the Ag Retailers Association. 

“I’m cautiously optimistic.” The group has five priorities they’re advocating for in the bill. They want the continuation of a strong farm safety net and crop insurance. They want to maintain the current acreage dedicated to conservation programs. Other priorities revolve around biologicals. 

The previous farm bill started to build a structure around defining plant biologicals. The new farm bill can go further in providing uniform definitions. They’d like to see the farm bill support research functions of USDA, including the National Agricultural Statistics Service. “We’re pushing hard to get it done this year,” he says.

Buchanan County continues to work through proposals for how
best to spend $17 million given it by Congress to offset the negative impact of
the coronavirus pandemic.

Presiding County Commissioner Scott Nelson is impressed with
one program receiving some of the money:&nbsp;
Pivotal Point transitional housing for youth being built in the eastern
part of St. Joseph.

“These kids just need something stable to be able to go home
to or go, every night, and not have to worry about where am I going to sleep
tonight? Who am I going to be burdening this week, what friend am I going to be
encroaching upon?”

Nelson tells host Barry Birr on the KFEQ Hotline there are two
main deadlines associated with money the county received from Missouri’s
allocation of the $1 trillion American Rescue Plan approved by Congress to
offset losses sustained during the coronavirus pandemic as well as to stimulate
economic growth. The county must appropriate the money by the end of next year.
Those receiving ARPA funds must spend the money by the end of 2026.

Nelson says part of the money is being spent to expand
broadband.

“I’ve seen the map from United Fiber in other areas that are
kind of south and west in the county, east of JJ in the county, and up north
near County Line Road, which would actually encompass both Andrew and Buchanan
County,” Nelson says. “So, they have identified these areas and it’s in the
planning stage.”

Metronet and others also have begun service in the greater St.
Joseph, Buchanan County area.

The National Corn Growers Association is launching its fourth Consider Corn Challenge. 

The open-innovation contest invites participants to submit proposals for new uses of field corn as a primary feedstock for producing novel sustainable chemicals and products with quantifiable market demand. 

“Consumers have a genuine interest in biobased products, and corn is investing in solutions that meet that need,” says NCGA Market Development Action Team Chair Troy Schneider. 

“In order to continue drawing in game-changing participation, the prize pool has increased to $250,000.” If all 15 winners of the first three Consider Corn Challenges reach full commercialization with products in the marketplace, the potential for additional corn demand would be approximately 3.4 billion bushels. 

One to six winners will be selected for the fourth Consider Corn Challenge. The submission deadline is June 30 at 5 p.m. Central Time, and winners will be announced in October. To learn more, go to ncga.com/ConsiderCorn.

The major fundraiser for the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art will
be held later this month.

The annual Pot of Gold enters its 45th year on the
29th.

Albrecht-Kemper Executive Director Eric Fuson says this year
the arts gala and auction is entitled An Evening in the Enchanted Forest,
featuring a gourmet meal and silent auction.

“We have rounds of golf. We have art works. We will have a
little diamond and gold necklace,” Fuson tells host Barry Birr on the KFEQ
Hotline. “We’ll have a sharp-dressed man raffle as well for the guys.”

More than 140 items will be up for bid through the
Albrecht-Kemper online, silent, and live auctions.

Some major items are up for bid. One is a one-year membership
to the Dormie Network, with its six nationally ranked golf courses, cottages,
and elegant dining. It is a $30,000 value with a minimum bid at $7,500.

Another is the Dickens on the Strand getaway in late November
and early December. Each year toward Christmas, Galveston, Texas turns into 19th
Century Victorian London in honor of Charles Dickens. The trip includes all
airfare, plus a three-night stay at the Hotel Grand Galvez, a $5,000 value.

Patrons can also bid on a one-week vacation at San Miguel de
Allende, Mexico, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A unique item up for auction is a private solo classical
guitar concert at your house by Anthony Glise, a virtuoso and native of St.
Joseph who has played around the world. Glise will revive a Renaissance
tradition of playing concerts in private homes. Glise will perform and tell
stories for a two-to-three hour concert appearance for you and your family and
friends.

Fuson says the Pot of Gold auction is vital to the museum’s
operation.

“It is so important the way this community supports us,” according
to Fuson. “That’s how we make it. Everybody thinks there’s just some big fund
out there, that we just all swim in money, but it’s not true. It’s just every
single one of us in the community that keeps all of our organizations going.”

Two candidates who won election in April to the St. Joseph School Board have been officially sworn in.&nbsp; &nbsp;

During a reorganization meeting the board officially had Whitney Lanning and Rick Gehring sworn into office by Fourth District Circuit Judge Daniel Kellogg&nbsp;

Lanning says her goal now that she's officially on the board is to work hard to stay educated and informed on issues facing the district&nbsp;

"Listen to students and staff and make sure that I'm making good, solid, and informed decisions," Lanning tells reporters following the meeting.&nbsp;

Gehring says his goals that he touted during the campaign remain the same as he begins his tenure&nbsp;

"At the end of the day, what's best for the teachers and what's best for the students, those are the two things," Gehring says.&nbsp;

The board also recognized outgoing members Rick Gilmore and Phil Vandel for their work on the school board.&nbsp;

Lanning says one of her focuses in helping the district will be utilizing her knowledge of managing financials&nbsp;

"Finance and school finances have a lot of different nuances, so fortunately I'm pretty familiar with a lot of that," Lanning says. "So, I think that's what I can bring."&nbsp;

Gehring says one area he would like to focus on is continuing to advance the work in early childhood education&nbsp;

"I think getting kids ready for kindergarten has been an issue in the past, so having Lake Contrary, having Mark Twain, and hopefully moving forward even another building that we can use for early childhood to get these kids ready to enter into kindergarten," Gehring explains. &nbsp;

Despite recent criticisms of the district's handling of a DWI charge for Superintendent Gabe Edgar, both Lanning and Gehring seem ready to go.&nbsp;

Lanning says despite the situation and the criticism the school board is facing, she knew exactly what she was signing up for when she won. &nbsp;

"I think anybody that runs thinking that it's all going to be pie in the sky and rainbows doesn't have a very clear understanding of the role of the board," Lanning says. "So, there are going to be difficult things over the next three years but I'm ready to tackle those."&nbsp;

Gehring says he's aware that some of the decisions that are made by the district won't always be the most popular&nbsp;

"But you have to really look out what's best for the district, what's best for our kids, and what's best for our staff, and that's going to drive all the decisions I make, whether it be popular or not," Gehring says.&nbsp;

The board also voted unanimously to name LaTonya Williams the new school board President after David Foster announced he would step away from the position.&nbsp; Ken Reeder was named to replace Williams as the new Vice President.&nbsp;

 </figure>By MATT PIKE&nbsp;St. Joseph Post&nbsp;Two candidates who won election in April to the St. Joseph School Board have been officially sworn in.&nbsp; &nbsp;During a reorganization meeting the board officially had Whitney Lanning and Rick Gehring sworn into office by Fourth District Circuit Judge Daniel Kellogg&nbsp;Lanning says her goal now that she's officially on the board is to work hard to stay educated and informed on issues facing the district&nbsp;"Listen to students and staff and make sure that I'm making good, solid, and informed decisions," Lanning tells reporters following the meeting.&nbsp;Gehring says his goals that he touted during the campaign remain the same as he begins his tenure&nbsp;"At the end of the day, what's best for the teachers and what's best for the students, those are the two things," Gehring says.&nbsp;The board also recognized outgoing members Rick Gilmore and Phil Vandel for their work on the school board.&nbsp;Lanning says one of her focuses in helping the district will be utilizing her knowledge of managing financials&nbsp;"Finance and school finances have a lot of different nuances, so fortunately I'm pretty familiar with a lot of that," Lanning says. "So, I think that's what I can bring."&nbsp;Gehring says one area he would like to focus on is continuing to advance the work in early childhood education&nbsp;"I think getting kids ready for kindergarten has been an issue in the past, so having Lake Contrary, having Mark Twain, and hopefully moving forward even another building that we can use for early childhood to get these kids ready to enter into kindergarten," Gehring explains. &nbsp;Despite recent criticisms of the district's handling of a DWI charge for Superintendent Gabe Edgar, both Lanning and Gehring seem ready to go.&nbsp;Lanning says despite the situation and the criticism the school board is facing, she knew exactly what she was signing up for when she won. &nbsp;"I think anybody that runs thinking that it's all going to be pie in the sky and rainbows doesn't have a very clear understanding of the role of the board," Lanning says. "So, there are going to be difficult things over the next three years but I'm ready to tackle those."&nbsp;Gehring says he's aware that some of the decisions that are made by the district won't always be the most popular&nbsp;"But you have to really look out what's best for the district, what's best for our kids, and what's best for our staff, and that's going to drive all the decisions I make, whether it be popular or not," Gehring says.&nbsp;The board also voted unanimously to name LaTonya Williams the new school board President after David Foster announced he would step away from the position.&nbsp; Ken Reeder was named to replace Williams as the new Vice President.&nbsp;<figure>

St. Joseph School Board officially welcomes two new members and names new President

Spring is here and that means summer is just around the corner which signals the beginning of an annual summer concert series in St. Joseph.&nbsp;

Parties on the Parkway hosted by the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce will kick off next month on the south side of St. Joseph near Benton High School. &nbsp;

Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman Kristi Bailey says the summer concerts are always popular with the community.&nbsp;

"Bring their friends, their dogs, and come out for free music, there's always food and drink available," Bailey tells KFEQ/St. Joseph Post. "This year we have an ice cream truck that's going to be at every single event and a balloon artist for the kids that's going to be at every single event, so it's always popular."&nbsp;

Bailey adds though that she's always seeing new faces that have never been and encourages everyone to bring people out to the concerts. &nbsp;

The concert series will kick off with the bluegrass band The Matchsellers on May 11th at SW Parkway and King Hill Drive.&nbsp;

Bailey says every year the community helps nominate bands for the event, which helps find a variety of genres&nbsp;

"We don't want to be all country all the time, we don't want to be all rock all the time, we try to mix it up," Bailey says.&nbsp;

Bailey says the community helping choose the bands by nominating them also encourages people to come out to the event&nbsp;

"The more people are involved in nominating who's going to be there, if someone you nominated is selected I defintly hope you're going to come to that event," Bailey says.&nbsp; "Because you are a part of the process."&nbsp;

And Bailey says this year’s concerts will feature something new called The Prize Patrol&nbsp;

"We've never had a prize patrol before, so this year United Fiber is sponsoring a prize patrol," Bailey explains. "So, each Parties on the Parkway, residents that come out are likely to win prizes just for showing up, so that will be something new and fun."'&nbsp;

Concerts will be held the second Thursday of every month from 5 to 8 pm. If rain forces a cancelation, it will be moved to the third Thursday of that month.&nbsp;

Party on the Parkway in St. Joseph as annual concert series returns

Counties across the region are experiencing issues of people getting pulled over by individuals impersonating law enforcement officers. &nbsp;

Buchanan County Sheriff Bill Puett says recent instances of this in Clinton and Dekalb counties are still under investigation. &nbsp;

Puett says thankfully we don't see this often in Buchanan County. &nbsp;

"We do see that every once in a while, there's somebody that decides that they're going to do this and they think it's a good idea, and often times it's for really bad reasons," Puett explains. "And so, we want people to be safe."&nbsp;

Puett says if you are pulled over by an unmarked vehicle that seems suspicious, the best thing to do is comply and follow the person's instructions. &nbsp;

"If they're uncomfortable, the best thing to do is tell them say I'm very uncomfortable, with this, I would like to go a more populated area or a lit area, I would like you to call a marked car, some of those things," Puett tells host of the KFEQ Hotline Barry Birr. &nbsp;

Puett says a real law enforcement officer will not deny those requests especially if they know they are aware they are in an unmarked vehicle and attire.&nbsp;

Puett says if you get pulled over by a vehicle that may seem suspicious to keep an eye on the demeanor of the person pulling you over.&nbsp;

"Especially if they're in a t-shirt or they're not dressed in uniform and their demeanor is different than you might consider a normal professional demeanor," Puett says. "That might lead you to say hey can you call another car."&nbsp;

Puett says thankfully his department has not seen any recent issues of this in the county but has in the past and has taken care of it.&nbsp;

Sheriff on lookout for people impersonating law enforcement officers

Ford Canada confirms that it’s removing AM radios from all vehicles globally. Ford’s Canadian division says Canada will no longer have access to the AM band in upcoming vehicles. 

Radio Ink Dot Com says it’s the first confirmation that removing AM from dashboards won’t be isolated to the U.S. 

A Ford Canada spokesperson says that to listen to AM, all drivers have to do is link their phones to the vehicles entertainment system and stream the stations they’re looking for. 

Canada has more than 180 AM radio stations. Many of those stations broadcast news and information needed in remote areas that have less than ideal data coverage, making streaming difficult, if not impossible. 

The Canadian Association of Broadcasters says this marks another profound challenge to AM radio. “It’s unfortunate that the assumption is made that internet streaming of stations will be a suitable substitute in remote Canadian areas,” the group says. &nbsp;

Public-interest groups representing farmers and conservationists filed arguments in court seeking to have the Environmental Protection Agency’s approval of dicamba struck down. 

The arguments are a continuation of an earlier lawsuit that resulted in a 2020 court ruling overturning prior approvals of dicamba as unlawful. 

The groups say the new litigation was prompted by the EPA’s decision to ignore the court’s ruling and move forward with reapproving the pesticide. 

“We now have years of incontrovertible evidence revealing that these dicamba products cannot be used without causing grave harm to other farmers and the environment,” says George Kimbrell, legal director of the Center for Food Safety and counsel in the case. 

The petitioners say dicamba drift and runoff damage natural areas and wildlife refuges, injuring wild flowering plants, including some federally-protected species on which bees and other insects rely. Plaintiff groups include the National Family Farm Coalition, Pesticide Action Network, and others.

Northern Missouri Congressman Sam Graves applauds a federal
judge’s decision that stopped a controversial regulation proposed by the Biden
administration from going into effect.

The ruling by the U.S. District judge in North Dakota halts
implementation of the Waters of the United States rule, known as WOTUS, from
going into effect in 24 states.

Graves, a Republican, succeeded in passing through Congress
his bill to overturn WOTUS only to run into a presidential veto, which he says
he will attempt to override.

“We have to get two-thirds or super majority in both chambers which
is going to be a pretty heavy lift. It probably won’t happen,” Graves tells
KFEQ/St. Joseph Post. “Again, unfortunately, the president chose to turn his
back on farmers and ranchers out there.”

Graves managed to get his resolution approved by the United
States House on a 227-198 vote. It passed the Senate on a 53-43 vote, despite the
Senate being in the hands of Democrats.

Graves says he knew he would succeed in the Senate, even
though some Democrats were forced to vote against a fellow Democrat in the
White House.

“Simply because there are a lot of senators over there that
represent rural states,” Graves says. “This impacts rural areas more than anywhere
else and those senators simply can’t go home and be able to explain why they turned
their back on their farmers and ranchers. So, the Senate vote didn’t surprise
me at all. I was very pleased with it.”

Graves will mount a veto override attempt, though the margins
are far too narrow for the two-thirds necessary to overturn the president and
make the issue law.

Graves has a better shot with the courts.

The United States Supreme Court is considering a separate case
in which an Idaho couple sued the EPA because it would not allow the couple to
build a home on what it deemed a wetland.

Graves is hopeful the Supreme Court overturns the rule that he
and other opponents call federal overreach. Still other critics contend the
Biden administration just like the Obama administration are attempting to go
well beyond the definition of “navigable waters” place in the Clean Water Act
when passed by Congress in 1972. The administrations have argued that the rule
would protect the waters that feed into larger bodies of water and that it is
within the authority of the EPA.

“I think the ruling will be in our favor,” Graves says. “It’s
hard to tell at this point, but the fact of the matter is this is government
overreach, far exceeds too much overreach. So, I’m hoping that the courts rule
in our favor.”

The Supreme Court heard arguments in Sackett v. The
Environmental Protection Agency in October. The EPA has prevented the Sacketts
from building on their property near Priest Lake in Idaho near the Canadian
border.
