Heat and drought strain Texas farmers across state
Vera Harrington of Sulphur Springs led farmers, ranchers, bankers and agri officials at Texas A&M sites in Texarkana and Commerce as they voiced drought losses totaling about 1 billion dollars. USDA officials pledged aid while Congress debates emergency and transition payments, with 10,000 to 15,000 Texas producers possible for aid and up to 15,000 crop insurance claims forecast. Nationwide actions include potential National Guard hay deliveries in Texas and Oklahoma amid price pressures and feed shortages.
