Reactions can begin immediately after the child is stung. Symp- toms can include breathing difficulty, hives, and shock. Symptoms of shock are cool, clammy, pale skin; a weak, rapid pulse; thirst; and dizziness or faintness. If a child has this sort of reaction, seek medical attention immediately. If one or both parents tends to have severe reactions to insect stings, it is more likely the child will, too. What can you do?

But, wheat researchers now can use marker-assisted selection to pinpoint exactly where in that genetic smorgasbord the exact genes for a trait like stripe rust resistance or heat tolerance are located. According to the Interna- tional Service for the Acqui- sition of Agri-Biotech Appli- cations (ISAAA), marker assisted selection involves using genetic markers, or segments of DNA, to identify the location of a specific gene. If researchers find the marker in a genetic sample, they know that the gene is present, long before it would have been expressed when planted in a test plot. As Fritz explained in the research proposal, “marker assisted selection is using DNA markers to follow genes of interest without having to screen for the given trait.” The more wheat crosses the wheat breeding team can analyze, the better to find that one genetic mash- up that could be the next great wheat variety. Dou- bled haploids enable the team to produce more crosses faster. According to the Heartland Plant Innova- tions website, doubled haploids are “genetically pure plant lines that offer a quick route to new gene combina- tions for higher yield, im- proved quality, disease re- Grass and Grain Template.qxp:Layout 1 4/30/15 1:18 PM Page 10

Similarly, the 2008-2015 beef cow herd decrease in the Northern Rocky Mountain region of Montana and Wyoming was only 1.2 percent. These regions will likely experience herd rebuilding but the two regions together are cur- rently only 155 thousand head below the 2008 level. The beef cow herd in other regions is down as well including the South (down 3.8 percent; the Great Lakes region (down 4.7 percent); the Gulf region (down 8.1 percent); the Southern Rocky Mountain region (down 2.8 percent) and the Southwest (down 9.4 percent). These five regions combined are down just over 500 thousand head from 2008 and will likely rebuild but drought will limit or slow the rate of growth in Southwest and Southern Rocky Mountain regions. The 2015 beef cow inventory of the Southern Plains region (Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas) was down 13.2 percent from 2008, a decrease of over 1.1 million head. This represents 42 percent of the total beef cow herd decline between 2008 and 2015. This region will clearly play a central role in U.S. beef cow herd expansion in the coming years. Parts of the region are still experiencing severe to exceptional drought conditions. The 6.2 percent herd expansion in 2014 in the Southern Plains may be difficult to maintain if drought conditions do not improve significantly. Moreover, herd expansion could be halted or reversed if drought conditions redevel- op in the region. While the final beef cow herd total for this expansion is unknown, it seems likely that the industry will be rebuilding or trying to rebuild for the re- mainder of the decade. Much of the herd growth will be in the Southern Plains with proportionately more growth likely in the western half of the country compared to the eastern half. 17-22.qxp:Layout 1 5/4/15 9:25 AM Page 17
