Four-part Ranch Drought Management Planning Series Set in

AprilBy Kay Ledbetter

U.S. Drought Monitor map of Texas for March 16, 2021 showing the grades of drought depicted by maroon, red, orange, tan and yellow colors.

The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will offer a four-part webinar series “Developing a Drought Management Plan for the Ranch” to help producers manage through and recover from the current drought, while also preparing for the next one.

The program is scheduled from 7-9 p.m. on April 13, April 15, April 20 and April 22. The fee is $50 and advanced registration at https://bit.ly/2PfDztZ is required by April 12.Drought situation

Much of Texas and the western U.S. has been in a drought over the last year, said Justin Benavidez, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension economist, Amarillo. As of mid-March, 68% of Texas was in some form of

drought, while another 22% was abnormally dry, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.With the remainder of the spring forecast predicting a greater than normal chance of below-average

precipitation, there is not much relief expected for the state in the near future.

“We developed this program because want to help livestock producers reduce their risk of loss due to a drought when possible,” Benavidez said. “Our team believes the information offered may help producers develop holistic strategies to better manage risks in forage production, their financial strategies and livestock management.”

The series was developed as part of a grant through the Southern Risk Management Education Center.Speakers and topics

– April 13 – Drought Risk Management Programs, Benavidez.

– April 15 – Nutrition and Management Strategies for Drought Resilience, Jason Smith, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension beef cattle specialist, Amarillo.

– April 20 – Drought’s Impact on Rangeland Plant Communities and Wildfire Checklist/Recovery, Morgan Treadwell, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension range specialist, San Angelo.

– April 22 – Economic Management Strategies to Minimize Drought Impact, Pancho Abello, AgriLife Extension economist, Vernon.Open discussion on benefits, challenges

The webinar series will also include a unique setting for discussion among the four faculty and program attendees. During the discussion period at the end of each session, the entire group will discuss benefits and challenges of each strategy that has been presented. This will offer participants perspective on different strategies from a wide range of expertise.

“Input from our stakeholders and county agents was critical in the origination of this program,” Benavidez said. “Our team is really looking forward to providing resources that we believe will have a real financial impact during one of the most frequent and significant challenges our Texan producers face.”

Upon completing the entire series, participants will receive three Texas Department of Agriculture pesticide applicator continuing education units – two

general and one integrated pest management.

How Teenagers Were Torn From the Grand Ol' Opry

By Robert Robin BrownOne day in 1977, at my Plainview store, an old

acquaintance from this area came to visit. It was a musician that my brother had done some recording with... Harry Bray. Ne nearing sixty at the time while I was just thirty. Anyway, he and his wife, Zula, had moved to Plainview in the mid-sixties from the Turkey-Quitaque area. Harry was raised at Turkey and Zula was raised in Motley near Flomot. It seems that Harry had heard I'd been doing some recording and had released a record. This was something Harry had already been into. He and two guitarist (Dick Polk and Jack Morrison) had two songs on a 45 that had received air-play over KFLD in Floydada, among other stations. This was in 1962. My brother Bennie Don had also helped cut another record, a little later with Bray..

Back when I was still in High School, Bray had taken an interest in making records. Seems my brother's playing had also appealed to him and he kept encouraging me in music also. Anyway, before we met again in Plainview, a sort of rivalry of 'young musicians' versus 'older musicians' had been brewing down in Briscoe, Hall and Motley counties.

I suppose this same thing had happened all over West Texas and it all had begun with Elvis, Little

Richard and the DooWop groups. These singers had followed Bill Haley and his smash..'Rock around the Clock'. The younger musicians locally had been intrigued by the beat and harmony I suppose..Musicians such as myself, Ronnie Hester, and some Turkey musicians such as Harvey Case and Jimbo Robinson wanted to move into this 'new age' of music when the Beatles came along also.. But I suppose the first around here to play some Rick'n' Roll were the Fayros, Ted

and Joe Bob Barnhill. They were followed by Buzzy Barnhill and his band. This band included Gary Johnson, B.J. and Sonny Mullin along with Buzzy. While their original band included James Lipscomb on drums and Rod Mullin had joined after Buzzy got married to DeeDee House and moved to Lubbock.

During this time, Harry and most older musicians, were still wanting to follow Bob Wills, Western Swing and country music traditions. So, this might explain why I never did any recording with Harry, while my older brother did. Both were fans of Bob Wills and idolized the Playboys. They wanted to play songs like 'Faded Love' and San Antonio Rose, while I wanted to play instrumentals like 'Sleepwalk' by Santo and Johnny. They also yearned to sing like Tommy Duncan while such locals as myself, Ronnie Hester and Marvin Christy tried to copy Pat Boone, Elvis and Roy Orbison. Nevertheless, Harry and I had a nice visit at my store that day and I played him a copy of my latest recordings.
