Ranchers face slim profits despite hope for better times
A Universal Service report from Washington cites a Department of Agriculture study showing Texas ranches in the past four years posted low profits as taxes and interest consumed most gross income. In 1993 the industry hit a low point with many ranches losing money, averaging a 20.5 percent net loss on aggregate investment and sustaining high tax and interest burdens. Five more clemencies were granted by Governor Ferguson, the first this month, amid true conditional pardons.
