tainty in other agricultural markets. Now farmers are finding that hemp production brings its own uncer-tainty, he told lawmakers.
“We don’t know exactly where we’re going to end up,” said Beeler. “But hemp has a chance to help us. It has a chance to be maybe that tobacco that we thought we’d never have a replacement for.”
One of the most critical issues facing many Kentucky farmers, said Haney, is the need for high-speed broadband. While most Kentuckians have internet access, Haney said rural areas remain that don’t have the connection speed necessary to use high-tech apps and programs now commonplace in modern agri-culture.
“If you can’t operate the device that you’re working with because the speed is so low that you can’t even download the programming … it’s pretty sad. And it’s important to our members more now than it has ever been before,” said Haney, adding that his organization will likely approach the Kentucky General Assembly for help on the matter in the future.
Sen. Stephen West, R-Paris, an attorney and cattle farmer, said in-ternet connectivity is important to him and his constituents, including a number of rural Kentuckians with limited internet access. West said that while full implementation the KentuckyWired project—which is intended to provide gigabit-speed ac-cess statewide—is expected within the next year or so, he wonders what support there is from the private sec-tor for improved internet speed.
“They have to address these issues to get more service out to our farm-ers and rural areas,” West said.
Haney said the Farm Bureau is communicating with the private sector and is “hoping to put together some stakeholders that will continue to work on this in the near future.”

Dogs have extraordi-nary senses, such as hearing and smelling, but do
they also have some other superior sixth sense?
There is no scientific ev-idence of their sixth sense, but they continue to sur-prise us on a regular basis.
I have heard countless stories from pet owners who describe an incident
when their dog acted with extraor-dinary, unbe-lievable and demonstra-ble abilities.
Once I was hospitalized with an illness that
was tentatively diagnosed as a foodborne illness, or acute food poisoning.
It is not unusual for our dogs to miss one of us and stay close by us when we’ve been gone, however I had never experienced the de-gree of “missing me” as the day I returned home from the hospital. Our golden re-triever Jazz and our yorkie Marlo never left my side.
For three days, Jazz laid beside the couch and Marlo lay on top of me. Every time I would get up, I had to be careful not to send Marlo flying through the air and I had to watch my step to make sure I didn’t step on Jazz’s tail.
Most dog lovers un-derstand this kind of hu-man-animal bond. I’m sure many of you have more impressive stories of how “man’s best friend” refused to leave your side in your time of need.
This kind of closeness is only the tip of the dog bone when it comes to our furry family members’ unique abilities or extraordinary senses.
Some of their natural abilities defy normal sci-entific research. Dogs have proven over and over they have unique abilities un-matched by any other ani-mal, including humans.
Research has shown some dogs know when their own-ers are leaving work and have started home. Hidden cameras have captured dogs going to the front door and wait just as their owner has left work.
Dogs have an excellent internal clock, meaning they seem to know what time it is all the time. It would seem fairly normal for a dog to go stand by the front door when 5 p.m. rolls around. However, the research purposely had the owners leave work at random times during the day and the hidden cam-eras showed their dogs still going to the front door to wait for them.
Most recently, dogs have
gained notoriety for being able to detect cancer in people. Many people tell their stories of how their dogs alerted them to the cancer in their body. The dogs most often would lick their owners excessively in an unusual manner. The people paid attention to their dogs and went to the doctor for examination. Each of them was diag-nosed with cancer.
This has prompted doc-tors to try to find out how the dogs were able to do this. It became obvious the dogs were sniffing and smelling the cancer.
The doctors are trying to isolate some unknown protein or chemical cancer cells release allowing the dogs to smell it.
Each year, the Kentucky Veterinary Medical Associ-ation (KVMA) recognizes and honors some of the more profound special pets that have shown their unique abilities in one way or another.
One of the recipients of this distinguished award was a Bassett hound that had been displaced from his owners during a hur-ricane. Unfortunately, he was never reunited with his family and ended up under the care of a rescue group.
Eventually, he was ad-opted, but the nuisance barking Bassett hound
quickly ended up being returned to the rescue group because of his desire to bark at anything and everything. In hindsight, I think maybe he was trying to tell someone something important.
He entered into foster care where he found him-self living with a disabled lady. It didn’t take long before he was beginning to act strangely just before the lady had a seizure.
The lady adopted him and now he is a certified service dog used to alert his owner of an oncoming seizure.
One night as she began to have a grand-mal seizure while sleeping, the won-drous canine jumped in her bed and pressed against her preventing her from falling out of bed during the seizure.
It seems to me dogs are smarter than we think and they may even posses an extra sense or some kind of unknown powers.
If your dog is acting strangely or not behaving normally, he may be trying to tell you something.
You should see your veter-inarian as soon as possible to ensure your dog lives a long, healthy and happy life.
