Prussic Acid, Nitrates in Forage & Happy Retirement, Dr. Kim Anderson!

Friday, July 19, 2024

 This week on SUNUP: 

  • Dr. Barry Whitworth, OSU Extension veterinarian, says there are reports of cattle deaths due to prussic acid in forage. Dr. Whitworth explains how this happens and how to keep your herd safe this summer. 
  • Paul Beck, OSU Extension beef cattle specialist, discusses nitrates in livestock forage and how that issue differs from prussic acid. 
  • Wes Lee, OSU Extension Mesonet agricultural coordinator, says the dog days of summer may be a little cooler this year. State climatologist Gary McManus shows the impact of the rains on the state from the recent hurricane. 
  • SUNUP attends the OSU Extension Big 3 Field Days, where nearly 2,000 youth participated in livestock judging and other educational activities.
  • Mark Johnson, OSU Extension beef cattle specialist, discusses the emergence of the Asian longhorned tick in Oklahoma.
  • Finally, SUNUP bids farewell to our longtime OSU Extension crop marketing specialist Dr. Kim Anderson as he drives his Chevy S-10 off into retirement. Thanks for all you have done for our TV show and the thousands of producers you have helped during your 40-plus years at OSU.
