Entomologist proposed to aid Milam Williamson cotton pests
The Blackland Cotton and Grain Producers Association plans to fund an entomologist under the Texas Agricultural Extension Service to serve Milam and Williamson Counties. The program would hire scouts to monitor cotton pests and guide pesticide use, aiming to boost yields and reduce chemical needs. Acre commitments and county participation determine feasibility, with potential sites along the Little River bottom and in Buckholts and Val Verde areas, plus a steering committee to guide the effort.

Fall Lawn Care Vital To Spring Recovery Growth
Fall fertilization helps winter color and spring turf recovery says Dr. Richard L. Duble Texas Agricultural Extension Service. A balanced 12-12-12 or 8-8-8 fertilizer at one pound nitrogen per 1000 sq ft is advised while avoiding high nitrogen on St. Augustine. Pre-emergence herbicides control winter weeds and some formulations mix with fertilizer for convenience. Follow label rates and avoid atrazine near trees and shrubs. A fungicide is recommended for St. Augustine to prevent brown patch damage.

An economist from Texas A&M notes food price increases should be modest this year, with projections of 3.5 to 4.5 percent versus last year’s 14 percent. He cites grain-price lag, processing costs, and added services as key factors, while livestock products bear the brunt of impact.
