Harvest progresses amid hail concerns with oats in barns and wheat on deck. Fourteen Brahma bulls are fed under a Blanco County 4H FFA program aiming for a $250 profit per boy, with profits above split with breeders. Farmers warned to prevent haying injuries as harvest and haymaking peak. Milk production runs high nationwide with dairies likely to set records despite farm income dipping six to nine percent.
