Grain and weather shape Texas community chores
Mercury Texas residents note storms avoided by smaller rainfall benefiting grain and pastures. Farmers cut and baled to protect feed while damp mornings slow drying. Local youth report an FFA trip to West Texas via Fort Stockton and Fort Davis enjoying Prude Ranch sights and a Big Bend Park excursion, with tales of snakes and a nerve-wracking yard incident involving Mark Jones and a puppy.
