Briscoe Seeks Poultry Crisis Solution In Texas
Gov. Briscoe announced a late Monday conference with Texas Agriculture Secretary John White in Austin to address a crisis that has led producers to kill hundreds of thousands of chickens and threaten a near term poultry shortage amid rising feed costs. He also warned against an unlikely extra legislative session for school funding and cited energy shortages as a possible, though not probable, focus for a later special session. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir touring the world from Salt Lake City has 23 members.
