Agriculture Now Is Time Of Heterosis
Thomas J. Arceneaux, dean of the College of Agriculture at Southwestern Louisiana Institute, spoke at the 13th Annual Louisiana Brahman Association Field Day in Youngsville. He framed heterosis as hybrid vigor from dominant genes and praised Brahman crosses for improving beef cattle while noting broader agricultural uses of hybrids. The event drew about 200 people from Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas with ranch tours, breeding discussions, and a barbecue.

LSU Engineer Invents Wool Bagging Unit
LSU agricultural engineer Mansel M. Mayeux designed a portable wool bagging machine that sacks wool faster than hand methods. The nine foot device on wheels fills a bag in under ten minutes, cutting labor and heat exposure. Built for about 700 dollars, a tractor-powered variant could halve the cost.
