The Kansas agricultural industry is practicing ways to work in a new fashion, based on adjustments the COVID-19 pandemic has incited. “Anybody that’s involved in agriculture realizes that prices, as well as production practices are being impacted a little bit,” Lyon County Extension Office Agent Brian Rees said. “Farmers and ranchers still need to prepare ground, plant crops, buy fuel, buy crops, buy feed, ship and transport livestock. We’re getting into a season here locally that there will be thousands of cattle coming in … to graze in the Flint Hills for the summertime.”
