Keeping Farm Kids Safe Starts With Solving the Rural Childcare Gap

Don’t take your kids in the tractor. Keep them away from the livestock. Never allow extra riders on the ATV. These are the guidelines offered by many safety experts. While statistics back those statements, rural sociologist Florence Becot said her response is: “These messages are often not realistic for farm parents who are struggling — they need to work on the farm. Childcare is not available, it takes 40 minutes to get there, it’s not open when you need it, it’s really expensive, or it’s all of these things together. People will not take the advice seriously, because you don’t understand the reality of their situation.”

This Kansas Resale Shop Looks Nothing Like Your Typical Secondhand Store

The first clue that this is not a typical resale shop is how quickly you stop thinking about resale altogether. Instead of racks of ordinary secondhand goods, this Kansas spot is packed with architectural pieces, old fixtures, vintage doors, hardware, and objects that look like they were pulled straight from another era.

BOOR: The changing colors of fall

I always love the changing of the seasons, especially summer to fall. After the heat of the summer, the cool, crisp mornings and cooler days makes me happy. One of the first signs that I can tell that summer is on its way out is the first leaves on the cottonwood trees starting to turn yellow. The reds and oranges of the maples and oaks quickly follow suite. Although the New England states is the place to view the changing of the seasons, Kansas is no slouch.

Kansas ICE raids threaten beef supply and local jobs | Opinion

Recently, the US Department of Homeland Security deployed ICE agents to communities in southwest Kansas. Over the span of several days, federal agents parked outside of schools, restaurants, mobile home parks and processing plants that prepare nearly a quarter of America's beef for consumption. Businesses were forced to shut down, students stayed home from school, and workforce disruptions led to millions of dollars in lost revenue. Rumors swirled that ICE descended on Kansas at the behest of Republican political candidates facing low polling numbers ahead of the midterm elections. Kansans have been inundated with their "tough on crime" commercials running ad nauseam over the past few months. An immigration crackdown, these struggling GOP candidates allegedly surmised, would demonstrate to conservative constituents that they were delivering on their "promise" to make Kansas "safer." But let's be honest, ICE agents are neither qualified, nor capable of removing truly violent offenders from Kansas. Hence, they resorted to snatching up older women in Dodge City. They terrorized U.S. citizens who were on their way to work. When this callous era concludes, I suspect we will see that ICE did nothing to curtail violent crime in America. Statistics will likely show their numbers game, like
