Huge crowd attends WMATAMA show on Saturday

The evening will finish out with a tractor pull and a full schedule of activities- more information with link to the WMATAMA web site can be found HERE.

Our Most Overlooked Natural Resource

From the desk of Senator David Pearce

When President Thomas Jefferson agreed to the Louisiana Purchase, he effectively doubled the size of the United States. With a stroke of a pen, he agreed to pay less than three cents per acre for the huge parcel of land that would come to be known as the Missouri Territory. One of the biggest issues in such a massive area would certainly have been the transportation of goods and services. However, the Missouri Territory already possessed its own trade route.

Early European settlers were already utilizing the path of least resistance in the form of waterways in the region. However, the most dominating river, the longest river in North America that joins forces with the Mighty Mississippi itself, and the watercourse that shares its name with our state, ensured our home in the industrial future, the Missouri River.

Bisecting our state, the Missouri River is an entity of itself. It’s many nicknames — the Big Muddy, the Mighty Mo, the Wide Missouri — bring to mind the multiple ways our state utilizes the 550 miles of waterway that crosses our state. Historically, Missouri grew along the banks of the river for trade purposes, but it served a greater purpose. The river also provided for rich agricultural lands, which in turn, created more goods for shipping and developed the industrial route that is still use today.

Can eating grilled meats cause a cancer risk?


From Tammy Roberts, Health and Nutrition Specialist, Bates County Extension

Summer is a time when everyone moves outdoors for many activities. One of those activities is grilling out. It’s hard to beat the flavor of a hot grilled hamburger but does eating it put you at risk for cancer?

Cooking muscle foods such as chicken, pork and beef at high temperatures does create a chemical that is not present in uncooked meat. That chemical is called heterocyclic amine or HCA. This chemical is formed when amino acids (the building blocks of the protein in meat) and creatine (a substance naturally present in muscles) are exposed to high cooking temperatures. This includes frying broiling and grilling.

There are ways to decrease the amount of HCA’s formed when grilling meat. According to a fact sheet published by the National Cancer Institute, meats that are partially cooked in the microwave two minutes prior to grilling have a 90% decrease in HCA content. There is a further reduction in the amount of HCA’s if the juice that forms during microwave cooking is poured off before final cooking is done. “There is another important food safety issue to note when pre-cooking meat in the microwave” said Tammy Roberts of University of Missouri Extension. “It should be done just before the meat is transferred to the grill.” Cooking in the microwave and holding for an extended period of time can increase the chance of bacteria growth.

Another potentially harmful substance, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAH, form when fat from meat drips onto hot coals. PAH’s are then contained in the smoke and flames and get deposited on the food. PAH’s also form directly on charred food.

The best way to prevent PAH’s from forming on food is to use lean cuts of meat that won’t drip fat onto the coals. Another thing to prevent formation is to push the coals to the sides of the grill and place the meat in the middle so fat doesn’t drip on the coals.

To prevent the formation of both HCA and PAH, grill meats at a lower temperature and away from a direct flame. Marinating foods before grilling also helps to decrease the amount of some of the chemicals that form during grilling.

There is no recommendation for the amount of grilled meat or meat cooked at high temperatures that you can eat and still be safe. The best recommendation is to take the steps outlined to decrease the amount of harmful chemicals that form during grilling or exposure to high temperatures.
