Double use of range land big business in Texas
A Sail Conservation Service report notes dual use of range land for cattle and deer hunts has become a major business. Texas deer hunting leases generate over 17 million dollars yearly, with 33 million private acres leased and 280000 deer harvested in 1968. The study cautions deer profits do not equal rancher profits and stresses careful range management to sustain deer populations while avoiding overgrazing.

Economists predict no rise in feed grain surpluses 1970
Washington economists see no increase in feed grain surpluses in 1970 as higher demand for meats and live stock may absorb most of output. Production of corn, sorghums, wheat and oats rose modestly in 1969, with stocks near 50 million tons by year end. Strong domestic and export demand kept prices slightly above 1968 levels, signaling tight supplies ahead.
