Heavy Rains Cause Major Losses for Texas Farmers
Heavy gully washing rains across Texas in late April and early May damaged crops, estimated at 200 million dollars, with cotton and early onion crops hardest hit. Weakened farm prospects contrast with gains for ranchers as pasture yields rise. Citrus in the Lower Rio Grande Valley shows a strong bloom set and potential doubled output if winds stay low.

Freeze Branding Trial Aims To Distinguish Cattle
Texas A&M extension agents report cattlemen using a new freeze branding method developed at Washington State University. Copper irons are cooled with dry ice and alcohol to leave permanent white brands, readable on long-haired cattle and less damaging to hides. Experimental and not yet lawfully approved, it's inexpensive and aims to improve winter identification and reduce hide losses.

Pound For Pound Trade in Beef and Fertilizer
ANGLETON Researchers at Texas A&M Gulf Coast Pasture Beef station test a pound of nitrogen fertilizer for a pound of beef. With 30 pounds of actual N per acre gains reach 250 to 320 pounds of live beef per acre under various stocking rates, peaking at two animals per acre before diminishing returns. Legumes like Persian clover boost gains by both nitrogen fixing and grazing.
