Good morning. I'm Joe Smith and
this is Farm Focus.
Now here's today's top story.
It seems those recent investigations
of the Bun and Run farms in Appalachia
have taken a new twist.
Government inspectors are claiming
that many of the so -called
beef -bearing animals
have been illegally cross -breeding
with athletes from a well
-known Midwestern university.
Bun and Run athletic director
Burton Doughty
declined comment,
stating only that he's been out of town
for the past three years,
visiting friends in Arizona.
Now, here's good news
for you folks bothered by flies.
A tiny wasp the size of a semicolon
can match and subdue
the huge flies
that swarm around a farmer's barn.
So say biologists with beneficial biosystems,
a company specializing
in biological pest control.
The little wasp that destroys flies
is called a pteromelon.
It lays its own eggs
in the flies' eggs
and causes them not to hatch.
How did you like the song?
