HEALTH NEWS Ancient grain sorghum shows potential against Alzheimer's in early cell research Daily multivitamin improves functional health in older adults, study finds Kids who own cellphones have poorer reading comprehension scores than those who don't, researchers find Time-restricted eating may help retain cognitive function in older adults Exercise Rewires Heart's Nerve Network in Left-Right Pattern Ancient grain sorghum shows potential against Alzheimer's in early cell researchEdith Cowan University & Alzheimers Research Australia, July 27 2026 (Natural News) Sorghum polyphenols reduced toxic amyloid-beta buildup in brain cells by up to 76 percent in a laboratory study. Scientists extracted polyphenols from three varieties of sorghum — black, red-brown and red — and exposed cultured human brain cells to amyloid-beta, the sticky protein long implicated in Alzheimer's plaque formation. Black sorghum showed the strongest protective effect on cultured human brain cells. Treated cells had over 70 percent better survival and 80 percent more active mitochondria. The findings still require animal studies before any health claims. Sorghum is gluten-free, fiber-rich, and loaded with the same class of plant compounds found in berries, olive oil, tea and dark chocolate — nutrients researchers have long connected to healthier brain aging. Daily multivitamin improves functional health in older adults, study finds Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, July 27 2026 (News-Medical) The ability to perform everyday activities free of debilitating symptoms profoundly affects quality of life as we age. In a new study, older adults who took a daily multivitamin had significantly better measures of functional health after 3 years compared with those who took a placebo. According to researchers, the findings suggest a daily multivitamin can help older people maintain day-to-day functioning by helping to preserve cognitive abilities, and it may also benefit blood circulation and physical stamina. The researchers analyzed data from over 16,000 people aged 60 years and older. Participants were randomly assigned to take a daily multivitamin, a cocoa extract supplement, both or neither, with placebos used for the control group and for those taking only one supplement. After 3 years, participants taking a multivitamin had significantly better functional health than those taking a placebo. Kids who own cellphones have poorer reading comprehension scores than those who don't, researchers find University of California at Los Angeles, July 27 2026 (Eurekalert) The widespread concern about the effect of cellphones on reading comprehension in elementary school children has led to surprisingly little experimental research.  New research by UCLA psychologists found a statistically significant relationship between owning a cellphone and lower reading scores — children who owned cellphones had poorer reading comprehension than those who did not.  This negative relationship between phone ownership and reading scores held for students who spoke English at home and those who did not. In fact, simply owning a phone correlated with worse reading comprehension, whether or not the phone was brought to school. Time-restricted eating may help retain cognitive function in older adults Rutgers University, July 27 2026 (Medical Xpress) Results from a small clinical trial suggest it may be possible to reduce the risk of dementia by eating during fewer hours of the day. The pilot study, which involved a weight-loss program for older women with overweight or obesity, showed modest cognitive improvements among those who limited their daily eating window instead of just reducing their calorie intake. The trial enrolled 47 women ages 50–79 who were overweight or obese. All participants were counseled to reduce their calorie intake by 500 calories per day. Twenty-six participants were asked to restrict their eating to a window of less than nine hours per day, while the rest maintained a typical eating window of about 12 hours per day. In the time-restricted eating group, participants generally ate only between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., with an average daily eating window of 8.2 hours, compared with an average of 12.3 hours per day among those asked to maintain the standard eating window. After six months, participants had lost about 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms), on average, about the same in both groups. Compared with participants who maintained a 12-hour eating window, those who consumed food for only 8–9 hours per day showed significant improvements in spatial planning and problem-solving at the end of the weight-loss program. They also showed a trend toward fewer errors on memory and learning tests, but there was no significant difference in performance on multitasking or reaction-time tests. Exercise Rewires Heart's Nerve Network in Left-Right PatternUniversity of Bristol (UK), July 21, 2026 (Natural News) Regular aerobic exercise reshapes the nerves that regulate the heart, according to a study from the University of Bristol. The study found that after 10 weeks of training, rats showed asymmetric changes in the stellate ganglia nerve clusters -- paired structures in the lower neck and upper chest that send “go faster” signals to the heart. The discovery reveals a previously hidden left-right pattern in the body's “autopilot” system for the heart. This finding could eventually help doctors tailor treatments for arrhythmias, angina, and stress-induced “broken-heart” syndrome, according to the researchers. Using advanced three-dimensional imaging techniques called stereology, the team examined nerve cluster changes after the exercise regimen. Trained rats had about four times as many neurons in the right cardiovascular nerve cluster compared with the left, relative to untrained animals. At the same time, neurons on the left side nearly doubled in size, while those on the right became slightly smaller, the researchers reported. Dr. Coppi described the nerve clusters as acting like “the heart's dimmer switch,” noting that exercise remodels that switch in a side-specific way. The stellate ganglia are part of the sympathetic chain, which regulates heart rate and contraction force, as described in functional anatomy texts. The asymmetric changes suggest that aerobic training induces a previously unrecognized form of

A hard wheat year can still teach Oklahoma producers something useful about risk, timing, and variety decisions. In this episode of the Red Dirt Agronomy Podcast, Dave Deken, Brian Arnall Ph.D., and Josh Lofton Ph.D. talk with Amanda Silva Ph.D., Oklahoma State University Extension small grains specialist, about the 2026 Oklahoma wheat crop. They discuss drought stress, scattered rainfall, early crop development, planting date decisions, test weight, wheat streak mosaic virus, and what variety trials can still tell farmers in a difficult year. Key takeaways: Rain timing drove much of the difference between fields, even within the same county. Earlier crop development, warm winter conditions, and a cooler grain-fill period shaped yield and test weight outcomes. Planting date can be used as a risk-management tool, especially when paired with different maturity groups. Wheat variety trials are still valuable in stressful years, but researchers must carefully judge data quality, CV, blocks, and field variability. OSU research continues on late-planted wheat, seeding rates, nitrogen management, forage production, coleoptile length, and deeper planting to chase moisture. Detailed timestamped rundown 00:00–02:14 — Intro and setup Dave opens Episode 514 by framing the conversation around the Oklahoma wheat crop and why a hard year can still shape decisions for future crops. He also promotes the Summer Crop Demo Day near Chickasha and introduces Brian Arnall Ph.D., Josh Lofton Ph.D., and guest Amanda Silva Ph.D.02:17–06:19 — Field-tour context and statewide wheat observations The group talks about seeing wheat across Oklahoma through field tours, Oklahoma Wheat Commission work, and research stops from Apache and Greenfield to the Panhandle and northeast Oklahoma. Dave notes how seeing the crop in person gave a fuller picture than just looking at numbers.06:27–09:10 — A hard, variable wheat season Silva describes the season as one of the hardest since she started at OSU. She explains that southwest and western Oklahoma were especially rough, while some locations saw enough rain to produce pockets of better wheat. Rainfall patterns created major differences, even between fields in the same county.09:11–12:02 — Stand establishment, planting timing, and grain fill Josh compares the wheat variability to what he saw in canola. Silva and Arnall discuss how some locations benefited from earlier establishment, while others struggled with stands and canopy closure. Cooler weather during grain fill likely helped preserve some grain quality and test weight.12:04–15:17 — Why wheat matured early Arnall asks why wheat was running ahead of schedule across a broad region. Silva points to warm late-winter and early-spring temperatures that moved the crop through growth stages quickly. The group also compares how those conditions affected canola and freeze risk.15:17–17:40 — The critical period for yield Silva explains that the jointing-to-flowering period is especially important because key yield components are being set. Moisture or stress during that window can strongly shape final yield.17:45–20:35 — Diversifying planting dates Arnall raises the idea of spreading planting dates as another form of risk management. Silva agrees that stacking planting dates could help, especially when combined with different variety maturities. She clarifies that “early” for grain-only wheat may still mean mid-October, not September.20:36–23:53 — Dusting in wheat and chasing moisture Dave asks when dusting in becomes worth the risk. Silva explains that farmers and researchers both have acreage and time constraints, and sometimes planting dry is a practical choice. The group also discusses deeper planting, coleoptile length, and whether Oklahoma could learn from dryland systems in the Pacific Northwest and Australia.23:54–28:13 — How much water does wheat really need? Dave asks whether researchers can determine a minimum moisture requirement for wheat in a controlled setting. Arnall and Lofton explain why lab or pot-study answers do not always translate well to field decisions because soil, temperature, humidity, wind, rooting environment, and other factors change the outcome.29:09–32:19 — Silva's research program Silva outlines current OSU wheat work, including planting date, variety maturity, nitrogen management in late-planted wheat, seeding rates, forage response, grazing recovery, nitrogen uptake, protein, and nitrogen-use efficiency. She notes new forage-focused seeding-rate work at El Reno and possibly Chickasha.32:20–36:47 — Variety trials and disease pressure The group discusses OSU's wheat variety trial network, the number of varieties being evaluated, and the inclusion of irrigated wheat work in the Panhandle. Silva notes wheat streak mosaic virus pressure in irrigated plots and explains that water alone does not remove the impact of disease.36:48–45:45 — How researchers judge trial data Arnall asks Silva and Lofton to explain how they decide whether trial data is trustworthy. They discuss CV, blocks, reps, averages, plot-by-plot review, field notes, drone imagery, canopy gaps, and the challenge of publishing fair comparisons when field variability is high.45:46–49:10 — Lessons from a stressful wheat year Silva's big takeaway is the resilience of wheat and Oklahoma producers. The group points out that hard “scientist years” can reveal useful information about stress tolerance, variety response, and management, even when they are not the years producers hope for.

Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xnLyii6krVg   What does it take to run a four-generation family business through cotton, cattle, pipeline restoration, AND a 7-truck hopper fleet — all at the same time? This week we sat down with Bob Blackwell and his son-in-law Jared Reaves at Blackwell Trucking in Wayne, Oklahoma. Three generations of Blackwells have worked this land. Bob started chasing pipeline restoration jobs 25 years ago when one came across his field — and built Blackwell Trucking on the side just to keep his own equipment moving. Then the last four years took a swing at them. Pipeline work went quiet. Solar customers walked off with over half a million dollars of unpaid work. Flatbed rates collapsed. And the family that had survived everything from boll weevils to a 1970s farm bankruptcy was looking for a way forward. Then Jared heard a podcast in his pig barn that changed everything. In this conversation we get into the full picture: how pipeline restoration actually works, why Bob won't buy stockers, the brutal economics of cattle and cotton, why he calls solar "a shell game," the wreck-truck rebuild, the engine that came apart in the shop, the role of faith in their business, and the very human moments behind the family's "GIG, GAP" philosophy — God Is Good, God Always Provides.

Each year, Kansas Sorghum welcomes fresh perspective through its Collegiate Fellowship Program, and 2026 is no exception. This month's episode of the Sorghum State Podcast introduces 2026 Collegiate Food and Ag Policy Fellow Carson Rudd and Communications Fellow Mindy Wells, two Kansas State University students investing their time and talents into advancing Kansas sorghum. They share where they are from, what they are studying and how their campus involvement connects back to agriculture.Rudd also outlines key developments from the 2026 legislative session, including movement on the grain theft bill, higher ethanol blend incentives, and water and conservation investments. With the Legislature past the Turnaround deadline, the focus narrows as priority issues for sorghum growers continue moving through the process.Wells highlights outreach efforts on behalf of the Kansas Grain Sorghum Commission, from conducting harvest interviews across the state to expanding digital communications and supporting events such as Sorghum Connection and the Women Grow the Farm conference.Together, alongside the Kansas Sorghum team, the fellows are helping tell the sorghum story in ways that connect producers, consumers and the next generation. Listen in for the full conversation.

Sorghum costs less to plant and requires less water to generate productive tonnages. For years, sorghum has been ignored as a dairy forage, because the starch filled berry was nearly impossible to process, limiting the energy available to the cow. To combat this issue a male sterile bmr dwarf variety was developed with no grain head as an opportunity to harvest a nutrient dense, resilient leafy forage. Researcher Juan Pineiro, Associate Professor & Extension Dairy Specialist at Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Amarillo and his team substituted a portion of corn silage in the TMR with sorghum silage to determine the feasibility of this forage for dairy farms. The team found an improvement in dry matter intake which resulted in a nearly 8lb increase in milk produced when substituting 25% of the corn silage with headless sorghum silage. To compensate for the decrease in dietary starch, Dr. Pineiro added ground corn into the ration to balance energy. Additionally, Dr. Pineiro drew our attention to the recent advancements in berry processing for the non-sterile varieties. “We were able to see 0-1% intact berries remaining with the recently patented processor,” he explained. This unlocks the starch available to the cow and should causes dairymen to consider planting once again. He cautions hybrid selection, harvest timing and processing are all keys to making this affordable resilient forage to earn a spot in your ration. Sorghum should be given a second look, especially in water limiting – dairy dense regions. Listen-in to this episode for an update in sorghum advancements for your dairy.

In this episode of the Chasing Giants Podcast, Don Higgins and Terry Peer dive deep into late-season deer behavior, winter stress, antler shedding, and critical food sources when snow and cold tighten the screws on whitetails. With snow on the ground across much of the Midwest, deer are piling into food sources, hammering grain, and shifting bedding patterns. Don and Terry break down real-world observations from their own farms and consulting properties — including why grain sorghum disappears late, how woody browse saves deer, and when TSI and clear-cut areas need reset. They also discuss: - Why shed timing varies by region and stress - How extreme weather accelerates antler drop - Grain sorghum vs corn vs soybeans in winter - Frost seeding clover: when it works and when it doesn't - Bedding cover cycles and when to mulch regrowth - Shed hunting strategy (when to push vs wait) - Listener Q&A on drones, thermals, water access, CWD, and more - Upcoming events including Midwest Sportsman's Classic - A major Chasing Giants product announcement teaser If you're serious about late-season survival, habitat longevity, and making smarter planting decisions, this episode is packed with practical insight.
