KHAZ Country Music News: Tim McGraw Puts His Musical Blinders on While in the Studio

Posted on

khaz tim mcgraw 20120807Tim McGraw has made a career out of calling the shots on what songs he records, and it’s turned out very well for him. Tim is one of the top selling artists in any genre in the past 20 years with more than 40 million albums sold, and he continues to follow his own path on the new project Two Lanes of Freedom, due out February 5. He says the key to keeping on that course is shutting out the opinions of the people at country radio, music critics or even his fans about what kind of music he should record.

“When I go into the studio, for as much as I possibly can, it’s about putting blinders on and going in and making music that makes me feel something, and stuff that I want to do at the time,” Tim tells The Tennessean. “All that other stuff, I’m not really an artist anymore if I start taking too much of that in.”

Two Lanes of Freedom features Tim’s most recent singles “One of Those Nights” and “Truck Yeah.”

KZ Country Cheesy Joke of the Day 1/29/13

Posted on

khaz cheesy joke logo 20110802Chicken Little 

       Mrs. Fleshman goes to the butcher shop to buy a chicken for the Sunday meal. The butcher has only one scrawny chicken left. He puts it on the scale.
      
      “Three pounds,” he says.
      
      “That’s too scrawny; don’t you have something bigger?” Mrs. Fleshman asks.
      
      He pretends to rummage around, and then puts the same chicken back on the scale, while pressing with his thumb.
      
      “Three and a half pounds,” he says.
      
      “That looks better,” says Mrs. Fleshman. “I’ll take them both.”

Japan Eases Beef Import Restrictions

Posted on

khaz cows 20120423OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Japan’s decision to ease restrictions on U.S. beef imports will provide a boost to the American meat industry, but tight supplies may limit how much exports can grow this year.

Beef producers hope to restore Japanese sales to where they were before the first case of BSE was found in the United States in 2003.

National Cattlemen’s Beef Association President J.D. Alexander said Monday the Japanese rules should improve profits for the industry.

If Japan’s decision to allow imports of beef from cattle up to 30-months-old leads to higher demand overall, American consumers may pay more for beef.

But the North American Meat Association says the effect on prices is likely to be limited because many popular cuts of meat in Japan, like tongue, aren’t popular in America.

Lack of Moisture Reflects in Crop Report

Posted on

kansas-wheat-field-300x204A new report says January’s limited moisture across most of Kansas has caused the winter wheat crop to deteriorate.

The Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that 39 percent of the crop was already in poor to very poor condition. Forty-one percent is rated as fair, with 19 percent in good shape and 1 percent in excellent condition.

The lack of significant rainfall has also affected livestock producers.

Stock water supplies are short to very short across 78 percent of Kansas. Many ranchers are hauling water for livestock. Stock ponds are low or dried out.

Concern is also building over pasture conditions amid the lingering drought. The agency reports that 85 percent of Kansas pastures are in poor to very poor shape.

KHAZ Country Music News: Gary Allan’s “Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)” Inspired by His Co-Writer’s Landscaping Mishap

Posted on

khaz gary allan 20130116The message of hope found in Gary Allan‘s hit “Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)” has brought inspiration to millions of people as it’s climbed the country charts. Though you might assume the song was inspired by a big event in one of the writers’ lives, Gary’s co-writer Matt Warren actually came up with the title after a run-in with a weed eater.

Gary tells ABC News Radio, “He was doing landscaping and he hit something with the weed eater and it banked off the wall and hit him in the face.” 

The phrase “Every storm runs out of rain,” popped in Matt’s head as he was cleaning up the wound from the gardening incident. He brought it over to Gary and their co-writer Hillary Lindsey and the result is Gary’s latest hit song.

It’s the lead single from Gary’s brand-new album, Set You Free, now in stores.

Western Kansas Dairy Honored by International Dairy Foods Association

Posted on

mccarty family farmsThe McCarty Family Farms, a family-owned dairy farm in western Kansas, was recognized as the 2013 Innovative Dairy Farmer of the Year, an award co-sponsored by the International Dairy Foods Association and Dairy Today magazine.

The Kansas Department of Agriculture nominated the McCarty Family Farms for the award, which honors active dairy farms in the United States that are improving efficiency through forward-thinking management practices, production technologies or marketing programs.

“Tom and Judy McCarty took a risk and moved from rural Pennsylvania to the plains of Kansas in 1999 to give their four sons the opportunity to fulfill their goals of being dairy farmers,” said Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Dale Rodman. “Thirteen years later, the McCarty Family Farms has become an innovative leader in the Kansas dairy sector and a key component in three western Kansas communities–Bird City, Rexford and Scott City–creating more than 100 steady jobs and a boost to the rural economies.”

In 2010, the McCarty family began discussions with the Dannon Company, the top selling yogurt maker in the United States, which resulted in a multi-year agreement for the McCarty’s to become the sole supplier for fresh milk at Dannon’s yogurt plant in Fort Worth, Texas.  As a result of the agreement, the McCarty’s built a milk processing plant at the Rexford dairy in 2011 that will enable them to exclusively and directly supply Dannon with condensed skim milk and pasteurized cream.

Condensing milk at the processing plant allows the McCarty’s to reclaim 39,000 gallons of water daily and has reduced the number of trucks needed to ship milk by 75 percent.

The McCarty dairies are among the fewer than 20 dairies in the country that have completed the Validus Animal Welfare Review Certification, an intensive animal welfare training program that was developed by dairy experts and is regularly reviewed by world renowned animal welfare expert Temple Grandin.
