Relay for Life energizes community at Cub Stadium
The Cancer Survivor’s Lap opened relay events as survivors celebrated victory around the track at Cub Stadium, followed by teams walking throughout the night, with live entertainment and a Mr Universe contest. The luminary ceremony was skipped due to severe weather, and emcee Willie Herrera closed the event shortly before 10 p.m. Drawings for a Dell laptop and relay quilt were postponed to noon June 7 at the Terry County Courthouse.

Above average rainfall affects local agriculture
Garry Peebles reports that May moisture totals of 5.41 inches in Brownfield and Terry County, plus 7.49 inches already this year, have pushed local agriculture into an unusually wet year with 12.90 inches through May. Farmers struggle with mud, lingering water, and emerging seedling disease while planting advances slowly due to cool soils and delayed warmth. The USDA cotton crop insurance deadline is June 5, with coverage reduced by one percent per day after.
