Census Finds Lost Beef Herd Two Million Head
University of Tennessee extension economist Eugene Gambill notes revised census figures reveal about two million more beef cattle than previously estimated. Tennessee adds roughly 200 000 beef cattle to the national herd with shifts in cows heifers calves and steers reshaping predictions for prices and production. The change suggests a period of cheaper beef and a need for producers to adjust herds and efficiency over the next two years.

Let Burley Ripe For Highest Acre Returns
The article advises burley tobacco growers to let crops ripen before cutting to maximize total pounds of higher quality tobacco. Ripe burley cures faster and strips into fewer grades, while green or immature harvests yield more lower quality. When priming is impractical, harvest at mid plant maturity when leaves are yellowed. Harvest timing depends on weather, disease, soil fertility, cultural practices, maturity judgment, and labor.
