Thanks to the watchful eye of marina operators at Cricket Creek Marina on Table Rock Lake, a boat carrying invasive zebra mussels was prevented from launching and spreading these harmful nonnative mollusks into a new body of water.
  The incident occurred May 24 when a houseboat that had been docked at Bull Shoals Lake was being moved into Table Rock Lake. The marina operator stopped the vessel from launching after observing zebra mussels attached to the boat. The marina operator quickly notified an Arkansas Game and Fish Commission enforcement officer, who informed the boat hauler that the vessel transported from Bull Shoals Lake could not be launched into Table Rock Lake until it was cleaned, allowed to dry for 10 days and passed a thorough inspection. The houseboat transporter also was issued a citation for the illegal transport of zebra mussels. On June 3, fisheries biologists with the Missouri Department of Conservation and AGFC completed a comprehensive inspection before approving the boat’s launch into Table Rock Lake.
  The first confirmed discovery of zebra mussels in north-central Arkansas occurred in 2007 in Bull Shoals Lake near Lead Hill. Although zebra mussels are now prevalent in Bull Shoals Lake, there has been no official documentation of them in Beaver, Greers Ferry, Norfork or Table Rock lakes. Other locations where zebra mussels have been documented include the Arkansas, Mississippi, St. Francis and lower White River, below Bull Shoals Lake in the White River, Plum Bayou and Bayou Meto.Â
  The AGFC has some easy-to-remember recommendations everyone should follow to reduce the risk of transporting zebra mussels from infested waters: Just clean, drain and dry your boat, motor and trailer. First, remove all drain plugs from your vessel at the boat ramp and allow all water to drain from the vessel. This requirement became law in 2020. Second, inspect your boat, livewell, trailer and motor and remove all debris, mud and vegetation. If possible, boat owners should wash their boats and trailers with high-pressure hot water. Finally, clean all livewells, bilge pumps, ballast tanks and other areas that hold or pump water in addition to exterior surfaces. Once completed, allow the boat and trailer to dry. These few steps will help ensure other water bodies don’t become infested with zebra mussels.
  If you discover zebra mussels on your boat or equipment, please contact the AGFC’s Aquatic Nuisance Species Program coordinator at 501-747-9012 before transporting the boat or infested equipment. Transport of zebra mussels in Arkansas is illegal and transporting them across state lines is a federal offense.
* Lake Wapanocca, located in Wapanocca National Wildlife Refuge in Crittenden County, suffered a recent fish kill, according to the AGFC Fisheries Division. Staff visited the lake after receiving a call from the refuge manager. The kill was caused by extremely low dissolved oxygen levels following heavy rain on Sunday, June 26th. By the following Wednesday, the kill did not appear to be ongoing and oxygen levels in the main lake had recovered to normal levels. However, oxygen levels in areas out of the wind and in the timber were still low.
  The crash in oxygen was likely caused by heavy rain that flushed organic material into the lake after an extended dry period. This organic material became suspended and started to decompose, which uses up oxygen. Biological oxygen demand is high during this time of year and it does not take long for problems to occur.Â
  Fisheries staff based in Brinkley say they plan to sample the lake this fall to determine whether supplemental stocking will be necessary to help rebuild the population. However, the add, with the windy weather around the time of the fish kill it is very likely that other fish were able to find refuge in the more oxygenated main lake and the lake will repopulate naturally.Â

The Most Common Myths of Owning a Metal Roof
If you’re considering metal roofing for your home, you’ve probably read a thing or two about it online. The internet is full of great information, but it’s also filled with myths and misinformation, such as how metal roofing might affect your Wi-Fi signal. We want to help everyone interested in metal roofing to fully understand this option. To that end, we set out to bust some common misconceptions. Here are five of the most common myths about owning a metal roof.
Metal Roofs Make Noise When It Rains
Modern metal roofs are made from heavy-duty materials, not tin. Sound doesn’t pass through them easily, making them ideal for homes in windy and rainy areas.
Metal Roofs Attract Lightning
One of the most common misconceptions about metal roofs is that they’re more likely to attract lightning. In reality, metal roofs are no more likely to attract lightning than other roofing materials; however, unlike traditional shingles, metal roofs are also resistant to fire.
Metal Roofs Are Bad for the Environment
Many people think metal roofing is bad for the environment. The fact is, when compared to other roofing materials, metal roofs are more environmentally friendly. Metal roofs are 100 percent recyclable, so they won’t contribute to our growing landfill problem. Most types contain a minimum of 35 percent recycled content.
Metal Roofs Are Expensive
A typical steel roof can outlast a wood shingle or tile roof by up to 50 years! The cost of repairs and replacements is also significantly lower, and metal roofs reduce energy costs when installed properly because they reflect heat into your home instead of absorbing it, as asphalt shingles do. Metal roofs reflect sunlight, keeping the home temperature lower, which can save as much as 25 percent on energy bills while reducing the stress on the air conditioner and extending its life span.
Metal Roofs Don’t Last as Long as Other Types
This common myth about owning a metal roof couldn’t be further from the truth. Metal roofs last longer than other types of roofing materials and perform better in various weather conditions. A metal roof will last 60 years or more while maintaining its color and beauty.
Metal roofs are excellent options for many homeowners. They have a lot of benefits that traditional materials don’t offer, such as durability and energy savings. As you consider your options, keep in mind that metal roofs are environmentally friendly and easy to maintain.

Tips for Keeping Your Cattle Healthy This Summer
As summer approaches, farmers might feel trepidation towards their cowherd as the temperatures outside slowly rise. With high heat and stifling temperatures on some days, you must keep your cattle healthy this summer. Use our tips, and you’ll find success in keeping your livestock comfortable and safe during the warmer months.
Offer as Much Shade as Possible
To give the cattle a break from the direct sunlight, offer a shady spot near the middle of the pen. Putting the shady space in the middle of the pen provides more shade for a longer part of the day. This is because the sun moves in the sky, changing the direction of the shade; thus, having shade in the middle allows there to be shade that is easily accessible and available at all times of the day.
Have High-Quality Forage
When a cow digests food, it produces heat, while a higher-quality forage produces less heat as the cow digests. Due to the high temperatures, your cattle might not be willing to eat, so feed them in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are at their coolest. Don’t start feeding too late in the morning, because by the time the sun reaches its highest point and highest temperature, the cow will also be at its peak point of digestion, thus producing more heat.
Have the Appropriate Amount of Water
The performance of your cattle can be affected by the water they drink. Watch out for the weather, because as the heat rises, the more water your cows must drink. A rule of thumb to follow is that when the temperature is above 90 degrees, a cow will need 4 gallons of water per 100 pounds, meaning a heavier cow could need upward of 20 gallons of water in just one day!
Watch for High Heat Stress
If you are raising your cattle for auction, their weight matters. Consider buying a livestock scale to accurately monitor your cattle and their high heat stress levels. Doing this also helps you watch their stress levels; you never want to overwork or push a cow in extreme temperatures. It is best to let them rest, or they might die from exhaustion, heat, or lack of feed or water.
Work Cattle in the Early Morning or Late Evening
When you work your cattle and perform your routine health measures, do this during a time when it is cooler, so it puts less stress on the herd. Take portions at a time instead of bunching the cattle in one area where it can get hot. The summer is more about keeping your livestock comfortable and less about working and moving them.
Make it a top priority to keep your cattle healthy this summer, so your livestock is healthy and well-maintained when fair season and auctions arrive. Never overwork them, and instead, offer tons of shade, water, and forage. When you notice the heat rising, check in every so often to ensure there are no underlying problems at stake for the healthiest cowherd.

Tips for Staying Comfortable on the Farm in the Summer
Summer is approaching, and the temperature keeps spiking as the weeks progress. If you live and work in a rural location like a ranch or a farm, you’ll need to ensure you take the necessary precautions to prevent heat stroke or heat exhaustion from creeping up on you.
There are several ways to stay comfortable, avoid these conditions, and make your work easier so that you don’t wear down so quickly. Here are just a few tips for staying comfortable on the farm in the summer so that you can get the most out of your sunny days.
Take Breaks
You must know your limits, especially in the summer heat. You’ll need to plan the times you’re working outside. Make sure you check the weather forecast to know when it will be more relaxed.
The best times to get things done are usually in the mornings and late afternoons. You might have to break up your jobs into increments this way, but it will prevent you from getting into trouble with the heat. If you feel yourself getting weak or dizzy, you need to stop, find some shade, and hydrate as much as possible. Spend a few minutes cooling off before going back to work.
Check Machining
If we had to do everything by hand, we might have a much more challenging time getting things done. Another problem is that it would eventually take a toll on our health. This is why it’s essential to do routine maintenance on our machinery to ensure that things are working properly. That way we can make an easy day out of what otherwise might work us to death.
Protect Yourself
Ensure you’ve dressed appropriately for your tasks. If you’re going to be in a heavily wooded environment or somewhere where dirt and brush or grass are common, you might need to invest in a pair of coveralls and a nice wide-brimmed hat to protect yourself from the elements.
You’ll appreciate these little things as you go along your workday. Leather work boots are also necessary if you want to work on a farm. Protecting your feet and keeping them comfortable will keep you from exhaustion. Cowboy boots are have several benefits.
If you need tips for staying comfortable on the farm this summer, look no further. This article has everything you need to cover you from head to toe so that you can enjoy your summer.
