Texas reports mixed harvests with 1975 wheat per acre yield up about 50 percent from last year and an average 24 bushels statewide, below the 29 bushels in 1973. Wheat harvested area at 5.5 million acres, while sorghum planting nears completion after rain delays, and ranges show 84 percent normal grazing conditions though South Texas lags.
Experts from Texas Agricultural Extension Service and Texas A&M University System foresee U S beef per capita consumption rising in 1975. Dr Ed Uvacek says consumption could exceed 117 pounds, with estimates of 122 to 125 pounds per person, though price levels may need to fall to absorb the boost.
County Agent notes highlight a wheat variety trial on Reeves Brown farm near Cameron with soft winter Coker 68 15 and hard red wheats including Sturdy Pioneer X2129 TAM 101 Caprock Caddo Dekalb 581 Pioneer 581 Pioneer HR975 and Agent. Coker 68 15 led yields at 43.6 bushels per acre, with Sturdy close behind at 41.3. Forage performance favored Agent, while grazed plots reduced yields but prevented lodging, and grazing boosted overall performance for some varieties. Sorghum midge risk increases late June with potential losses per head. caution advised when spraying near cotton.
Pathologist from Texas Agricultural Extension Service notes Ascochyta blight thrives after recent rains and prior damage. Fungus survives in soil and on seed. weakened plants from sand or hail are most at risk. Early lesions appear on leaves. defoliation lowers yields and fiber quality. Hot dry weather may reduce disease. use fungicide treated seed and dispose of old cotton debris.
