Terry County Bale Count Season Yields Near Record Productivity
Terry County shows 240,084 bales from the 88 cotton crop with about 3,600 bales remaining to gin. ASCS Executive Director Danny Decker credits timely rains, strong fall conditions, and favorable moisture in a near record for productivity despite reaching about a bale per acre. County agent Tom Gaither notes underground moisture is low but a steady rain would help replenish soils for next planting.

Brownfield City Council weighs Rail Line Abort Delay for Park Way
Brownfield city officials hear that closing the railroad line for the Lubbock Park Way project cannot occur quickly. Abandonment requires ICC listing, a four month wait, then 255 days before final abandonment. Four of five Santa Fe spur lines face abandonment, with Levelland spared, so funding must keep tracks intact as 1989 construction deadline looms.
