00:01:06 — A Better Late Than Never Cattle Market Update: This Thursday's show begins with our cattle market update for the week from K-State livestock economist, Glynn Tonsor. Glynn explains a rather sideways market, where feedyard net returns may fall in the coming year, and some updated tools that are readily available on AgManager.

00:12:02 — A Vision for K-State with Marshall Stewart: We follow up the cattle markets with our new K-State senior vice president for executive affairs, Marshall Stewart. Marshall shares his background with working at other Land-Grant institutions, his belief in the important role of Extension programming in Kansas, and his vision for K-State in the future. He's only been on the job for a month now, but it is fair to say that Marshall has quickly transitioned to bleeding purple with his passion for our university and its work.
00:23:01 — Spring Garden and Landscape Pests: We end with this week's horticulture segement where K-State horticultural entomologist, Raymond Cloyd, shares information on insects to keep in mind as we prepare for spring in our gardens and landscapes in Kansas.
