Page 8 Grass & Grain, February 9, 2016 Grain Marketing Workshop to be held Feb. 24 in Tonganoxie When commodity prices are high, the margin of ‘er- ror’ when it comes to mar- keting is wide. Producers can take risks – even ‘miss’ on a few market turns with- out going from the black to the red. When things get tighter, more planning in all facets of the cropping enter- prise is needed to help avoid unnecessary risk po- sitions that put the bottom line in danger. Grain mar- keting is no different, it’s just typically one of the less enjoyable parts of the en- terprise to focus on. In an effort to help you improve your grain market- ing plan and better utilize the tools available to you, the Leavenworth County Extension Council and the Meadowlark Extension Dis- trict are teaming up for a Grain Marketing Workshop featuring K-State Agricul- tural Economist Dr. Dan O’Brien. Dr. O’Brien will share information with par- ticipants about how to bet- ter manage price and mar- ket risk using tools like for- ward contracts, options, cash pricing, and futures hedging. He’ll also explain how to tie them all together in to a grain marketing plan. The meeting is Wednes- day, February 24th from 1:00-3:00 p.m. at the Leaven- worth County Fairgrounds in Tonganoxie. Doors open at 12:30 for refreshments sponsored by First State Bank & Trust of Tonganoxie and Perry. No RSVP is nec- essary. If you have ques- tions, feel free to contact the Leavenworth County Extension Office, any office of the Meadowlark Exten- sion District, or e-mail to [email protected]. 2-9-16 Sect. 1.2.qxp #2:Layout 1 2/4/16 1:03 PM Page 9

The Underground Railroad was also active in Michigan when she was practicing medicine there with routes leading from slave states south of the Ohio River to Detroit. Fugitive slaves could cross the Detroit River into Windsor, Ontario, to find freedom in Canada. Dr. Dayton’s son, Hiram, actively supported the Free State faction during the Civil War. As an undercover scout Hiram boldly rode be- hind the lines, often among Quantrill’s Bushwhackers. At Blue Springs, Missouri, on January 27, 1862, he was discovered and shot as a spy.
