Texas agriculture commissioner lays out plan to avoid future power system failure

(AUSTIN) Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller introduced a multi-step solution to the recent power system failure that caused millions of dollars of damage to the Texas agriculture industry. His Proper Oversight, Winterization and Electricity Reform (P.O.W.E.R.) Plan is a set of proposed reforms of the state electricity grid and the institutions responsible for its reliable and efficient operation.

“The winter storms and the system failure of the grid had a profound impact on our farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers,” said Miller. “Just as importantly, it has led to disruptions in our food supply, our water supply, and the prices that every Texan pays for some of life’s most important resources. In Texas we are blessed with some of the most abundant natural resources in the world, and we need to be able to tap those resources in a time of need.”

Winter Storm Uri caused billions of dollars worth of damage to Texas agriculture, much of it because of electricity and natural gas system failures. Without

electricity water pumps could not operate, causing millions of dollars of damages to water pipes and systems. Without electricity, food processing plants went dark and were not able to operate. Agriculture feed manufacturers were also shutdown, leaving ag producers scrambling to feed freezing livestock. Without electricity and gas, milk plants could not pasteurize product, so up to 14 million dollars of milk had to be dumped. Without electricity and heat at poultry farms, newly-hatched baby chicks froze and died.

“As the head of the Texas Department of Agriculture and a statewide elected leader, it is my duty to put forward solutions,” said Miller. “I encourage our legislative leaders to endorse this plan and use the current legislative session to fix this problem so no Texan ever again has to face a crisis like we saw with this storm.”

Miller was one of the first statewide elected officials to raise an alarm about the anticipated disaster when he issued a “red alert” about threats to the food supply chain on February 16th.

The annual Dust Bowl Marathon featured two days in Dalhart this weekend, as the event was unable to be held in New Mexico due to restrictions in response to COVID-19. Results will be in Friday’s edition of The Dalhart Texan.

Board Chairman Eric Diaz said. “Despite 2020 being what it was, as a chamber, we worked diligently to

support and promote our local businesses. As part of this effort, we distributed 33,000 Dalhart Dollars back into our local economy.”

Diaz said the chamber board is planning to launch a new website in 2021.

An airshow is scheduled for May 22. The airshow was originally scheduled for last summer, but was postponed due to COVID-19.

“It is going to be one of the biggest attractions that Dalhart has. So, make sure

you get your tickets,” Diaz said.

He said the chamber is also planning a second Farm to Table dinner later this year.

“The Farm to Table dinner was the best event

we had in 2020. It was all locally grown food and all locally produced wines,” Diaz said.

The chamber is also going to launch After Hours events this year.

The annual chamber gala

was originally scheduled for April 2020. However, social distancing requirements in response to COVID-19 caused the event to be postponed, making this the first chamber banquet since 2019.

reporting. Lang received her first assignment for The Dalhart Texan when she was 12 years old.

It was at Dalhart High School that she met the love of her life, Bob Lang. The

couple married in 1954, the same year she graduated from school. They moved to El Paso, where he was stationed in the U.S. Army.

It was less than two years before the couple moved back to Dalhart. He went to work as truck driver before working at The Dalhart Texan, while she stayed

home with their children, Debra Ford, Bob A. Lang and Joe Lang.

She continued to work for the newspaper for 39 years, with 23 years as editor. She went to work for KXIT as a reporter in 2005. Lang came back to The Dalhart Texan after it was purchased by current owners Scott Wesner

and Scott Wood. In addition to her time

covering the news, Lang served on the Dalhart City Council for 18 years and on the Panhandle Regional Planning Commission (PRPC) for 12 years, retiring from both in 2016. She served as chairman of the PRPC in 2010.

“I love Dalhart. I love The Dalhart Texan and the radio. I can’t believe this. I’m speechless,” Lang said. “Thank you all very much.”

“I can’t believe that I’ve been honored like this. I just do it because I love it, I love The Dalhart Texan and everything else,” she continued.

Lang is a member of the First Christian Church in Dalhart, where she has taught Sunday School, and she is a member of the Women’s Missionary Guild. She was also a member of the Dalhart Area Child Care Center board and has received a 50-year membership pin from the Order of the Eastern Star.

give their time and energy because they both truly love Dalhart.”

“We work together. We

love this community. We’re very proud to be here, and we do love Dalhart. And, we hope to keep this our

a great place Dalhart is to live. I call Dalhart the land of opportunity when I’m talking to other people, because you can come here,

and if you’re willing to work hard and do the right thing, you can make a very good living. You can do right by yourself as long as you do

right by other people. It’s an honor to know all of you all. Again, like Kyle (Grimsely) said, I’m extremely humbled to be bestowed this award in

this crowd of people.”Alliance Irrigation was

founded with their first location in 2001 in Dalhart. They now also have locations

“There’s not a better

guy, a better human, a better family man, a better business owner to represent,” Chafe said.

“Every time we’re in

a business meeting, he’ll bring up how proud he is of his community, how proud he is of Dalhart, how proud he is of being a friend,”

Chafe continued.Among his achievements

as a State Farm agent, Chafe said Grimsley is on pace to be one of the biggest farm

and ranch protectors in the nation.

“I am very surprised, very shocked,” Grimsley said. “I feel like there are so

many other people deserving of this. That being said, I’m extremely humbled and honored to accept this award tonight.”

called, and you’ve probably thought, ‘oh he’s going to try and peddle me some corn seed.’ But, really and truly,

I’m calling just to come and sit and eat with you and learn because I am a young guy. I’ve got a lot to learn, and there’s a lot of knowledge sitting in this room and this community that you cannot gain anywhere else in the

world,” Nole said. “I travel all over the U.S. for my job, for various reasons. When I get to talk about Dalhart, people are just in awe. From the community that we live in, the stuff that we are allowed to do in agriculture that

nobody else in the world can do. They are just in complete awe, and it all comes back to the people sitting in this room and that live here in this community and participate in our day-to-day stuff that goes on here.”

“Thank you guys very much. It’s a great honor to be a part of this community,” he continued.

This is the first year this award has been given, and it is for a person 35 years old or younger who has demonstrated

exemplary service to the community through their work and volunteer efforts. Qualifications for the award include career experience and leadership, community service and involvement and potential for success.

Weekly Senate news: Head regulators out after winter storm debacle

The top officials at the state and industry power regulators have lost their jobs following the failure of the state electric grid during February’s massive winter storm. Public Utility Commission (PUC) Chair DeAnn Walker resigned after a number of state officials, including Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, called for her to step down.

Bill Magness, CEO of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) was fired by the organization’s board of directors Wednesday. Patrick tweeted a reaction to the news: “Two days ago, I called on ERCOT and PUC leaders

to resign. Good news - now they are both gone. Next — one of my top 31 priorities — reforming ERCOT and fixing what went wrong.”

Walker and Magness’ departures follow the resignation of several of ERCOT’s board members in the days following the winter storm.

Both individuals sat for hours of questions about what went wrong on February 15th that led to 4.5 million Texans losing power, some for days. Magness told members of the Business and Commerce Committee at a hearing last Thursday that his organization wasn’t prepared to lose so much of the state’s generation capacity so quickly.

“What we understood we were facing based on

the weather forecast and the generation we had available, we were probably going to have rotating outages – but manageable ones,” Magness testified Thursday. “What we did not anticipate was losing up to 48 percent of the generation available Monday night.”

Several members of the committee said they were blind-sided by the extent and severity of the blackouts.

“It does not resonate with us, as laypeople that are not in your business, that the grid could be at risk,” Conroe Senator Brandon Creighton told Magness.

Lt. Governor Patrick cited that lack of warning in his Monday statement calling for Magness’ resignation.

“From their testimony

it is clear they also did not consider the harsh freeze could shut down electricity generating power plants or that crews would not be able to make emergency repairs because roads would be impassable,” he said.

In that same statement, Patrick called for the resignation of PUC Chair Walker, for failure to adequately regulate ERCOT. She resigned just hours following the release.

One of the two remaining PUC commissioners appeared before the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday night as the panel considered the agency’s budget.

“I’m embarrassed for the role we played in that fiasco and I apologize for not doing more to prevent it,”

said Commissioner Arthur D’Andrea, the day before he would be named commission chair by Governor Greg Abbott. “I hope this hearing and others like it can be our first step in re-earning the confidence of this committee and the people of Texas.”

The PUC presented a request for $1.7 million in funds above their original budget request in order to hire sixteen additional staff to help with oversight and communications. Georgetown Senator Charles Schwertner said that to him, this only reinforced the argument that the PUC was “asleep at the wheel” in the days leading up to the February storm.

“That wasn’t an exceptional item to begin

with, now it is - y’all are awake now obviously after this disaster,” he said. “I’m glad you put this in, but it just goes to the need for pronounced, significant reform regarding the regulatory agencies of our utility structures.”

Much of that reform will be developed in the Senate Business and Commerce Committee, led by North Richland Hills Senator Kelly Hancock.

“Things will be different moving forward,” he said at Tuesday’s Finance hearing. “We’re going to provide the security and the reliability that every citizen across the state is counting on when it comes to our electric grid.”

The Senate will reconvene Tuesday, March 9 at 3 p.m.

Livestock merit second look for latent February winter storm effects

The ice has disappeared and pastures are drying, but cattle producers should not consider Winter Storm Uri something of the past. Livestock should continue to be watched as the weather warms, according to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service experts.

“Like most livestock operators, I worried about my cattle and young calves in this weather,” said Joe Paschal, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension livestock specialist, Corpus Christi. “I did not think that it was going to get as bad as it did. I wrapped pipes, turned on heat lamps and let troughs run over. I put out extra bales of hay and moved things around in the barn to allow the cattle to get in out of any rain and wind. I was not even thinking of snow or ice.”

Paschal said many livestock owners took similar actions and made it through the frigid temperatures and icy conditions. But he warned livestock producers the coast is not clear just because the

ice is gone.

Latent effects to watch for in livestock

Ted McCollum, Ph.D., retired AgriLife Extension beef cattle specialist, Amarillo, came up with a list of “latent effects” after a blizzard hit the Texas Panhandle in late 2015. Similarly, Paschal said, the 2021 weeklong freezing temperatures and wind chill could have latent effects or an especially long-lasting impact on livestock.

Tails, ears and even cows’ teats and udders and bulls’ prepuces, sheaths and scrotums could be frostbitten, causing some partial loss or loss of function in the next few weeks. Look for raw or bleeding skin or scabbed over areas. Veterinary treatment should be considered, especially for frostbitten prepuces, to prevent infection. While these are not long-term threats to the animal’s well-being, they could affect reproductive function.

Cows with frostbitten udders or frozen teats may be sensitive, reducing milk production and consumption by their calves for a few days.

Unless infection ensues or the udder or teats are severely damaged, there may be only some mastitis and partial loss of udder function. Cows calving this spring could also be affected, but it would not be noticeable until they calve and begin lactating, so they should be evaluated then as well.

Lost reproductionShort-bred heifers and

cows may abort their fetuses as a result of the stress, and long-bred cows can abort calves that were nearly term. This is especially true, but not limited to, high percentage Bos indicus or Brahman-type, cattle, said Corrie Bowen, AgriLife Extension agriculture and natural resources agent, Wharton County.

This hard freeze hit late in the winter during the beginning of calving season in many areas of Texas. In the past, freezes like this occurred in December when cows were still heavy bred. This is what made this hard freeze different and so deadly to calves, Bowen said.

Early abortions have been reported as a result of the weather by Ky Pohler, Ph.D.,

reproductive physiologist for the Texas A&M Department of Animal Science. Pohler detected early embryonic losses using ultrasound in a research herd in College Station.

Pohler said Texas cattle that do not typically experience this type of weather and are adapted to tropical and subtropical climates. Additionally, these cattle went from grazing winter forage and early spring forage to either eating hay free choice or receiving some other type of supplement. This major shift in nutritional sources and the additional stress from the weather could have had a negative impact.

He said he would anticipate seeing slightly higher pregnancy loss in cattle that were between seven and 45 days of gestation during this weather event. It is not something that will be a complete reproductive failure, but something to keep an eye on.

Bull soundnessPrepuces and scrotums

of bulls exposed to freezing temperatures and wind chills

might be frostbitten, especially bulls with slightly larger sheaths and prepuces. Bulls being used now or considered for use should have a breeding soundness examination, BSE, performed on them. Semen production is a long-term process and fertility could be impacted for one or two months.

Bulls for breeding in fall calving herds should have a BSE performed as soon as possible to check for injury and semen quality to ensure a high percent calf crop. Cows in fall calving herds that are not bred could have delayed estrus and pregnancy, resulting in late calves. Estrus activity should return to normal in a few weeks if there are no other injuries.

Stress and diseaseCattle and other livestock

that survived the extremely frigid temperatures for days are physically very stressed, even those that were adequately supplemented and sheltered. Producers should monitor their herd’s body condition scores and possibly increase supplemental feeding for the remainder of breeding

season with fall calving cows or calving for spring calving cows.

Tom Hairgrove, DVM, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension cattle veterinary specialist, Bryan-College Station, said young cows and calves fed and kept up near wet hay or bedding could contract coccidiosis. Look for bloody or black scours in stressed calves. He said that internal parasites could also be an issue in stressed cattle.

Hairgrove also emphasized that stressed cattle are more susceptible to increases in internal parasite infestations, such as stomach worms. Cattle looking thin, anemic and perhaps scouring could be suffering from increased parasitism.

“Observe your livestock closely for other signs that, even though they survived the weather, might indicate something is just not quite right. Chances are that many effects from the week-long hard freeze will be seen for several weeks so be looking for signs of illness or poor doing cattle or calves,” Paschal said. “After all, that’s just good animal husbandry.”

The P&P Delco Female Athlete of the Week is Avery Baca. Baca is a sophomore on the Dalhart Lady Wolves’ track and field team, and this is her first time to be named athlete of the week this year, although she was named once last year as well.

Baca did a good job last year for the Lady Wolves before the season ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and has continued improving this year. She has expanded the number of events in which she scores points to become one of Dalhart’s best track and field athletes.

Baca scored points in four different events for the Lady Wolves last Thursday at the Bobcat Relays in Sunray. She placed third in the pole vault with a vault of nine feet even, which was a new personal record in that event. Baca also placed fifth in the long jump with a jump of 13 feet 8.25 inches, and tied for fourth place in the 200-meter dash with a time of 29.12 seconds. She was also a member of the 800-meter relay team that placed second at the meet with a time of 1 minute 54.24 seconds.

Since she is just a sophomore, Baca still has this year and two more years to improve before she leaves high school, and she is already performing well. In particular, if she continues to improve in the pole vault, she should have a very good chance to eventually qualify for state in that event. The future is bright for Baca and her teammates on the track and field team.

Honorable Mention:Caryce Guerrero: Dalhart

track and field, softball, and powerlifting. Guerrero is a senior and has been athlete of the week as either an individual or member of a group multiple times this

year. She placed fourth at the regional powerlifting meet in the 148-lb. class by lifting a total of 825 pounds, which was enough to qualify her for the state meet. Guerrero also placed second in the 100-meter dash, and third in the triple jump at the Bobcat Relays, and was a member of the 400-meter relay team that won first place and the 1600-meter relay team that placed third at the meet. She also scored three runs in Dalhart’s softball win over Sunray last Tuesday.

Ashley Amico: Dalhart track and field. Amico is a senior and was athlete of the week last week. She placed second in the pole vault at the

Bobcat Relays with a vault of 11 feet 6 inches, and placed second in the 100-meter hurdles as well. Amico also was a member of the 400-meter relay team that won first place and the 800-meter relay team that placed second.

Bethany Berngen: Dalhart track and field. Berngen is a senior and has been athlete of the week more than once this year in volleyball and basketball. Berngen won first place in the 200-meter dash and placed third in the high jump at the track meet in Sunray last week. She was also a member of the 800-meter relay team that placed second and the 1600-meter relay team that placed third.

Dalhart High senior Caryce Guerrero competed at the Region I, Division 3 powerlifting meet on Saturday March 6 in Kermit. She placed fourth in the 148-lb. class by lifting a total of 825 pounds, just five pounds below third place and 25 pounds below second. Guerrero cleared 325 pounds in the squat, 175 pounds in the bench press, and 325 in the deadlift. Guerrero’s total was high enough to qualify her to move on to the state meet, which will be held in Corpus Christi during spring break on March 19.

third quarter as the Tornadoes took a small lead. Potter hit a three and scored 11 points during the stanza.

Espino also put in a three-pointer and scored five points, and Will Luther scored as well.

The Tornadoes put 18 points on the scoreboard while Paducah scored 15, and Texline led 41-38 at the end of the third period.

The Texline offense exploded in the fourth quarter as the Tornadoes put the game away.

Five different Texline players scored points during the final period.

Lozano scored 10 points for the Tornadoes. Colton Luther and Espino each hit a three and added seven points for Texline.

Potter also hit a three and scored five points, and Will Luther put points on the scoreboard as well.

The Tornadoes put 31 points on the board during the fourth, while Paducah was only able to score 19. Texline won the game by a final score of 72-57.

Potter led the team with 19 points during the game. Lozano scored 17 points, Espino had 15, and Colton Luther put 10 points on the board for Texline.

Normally, both the state semifinals and finals are held as part of a state tournament at the Alamodome in San Antonio. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the UIL decided several months ago not to hold a complete state tournament so that they wouldn’t have too many teams and too many people in any one location. Therefore, the state semifinals are just being held at a neutral location between the two teams.

Texline will be playing Region II champion Eula today in Denver City. The game will begin at 7 p.m.

If Texline wins that game, they will move on to the state championship game in San Antonio. That game will be held Friday at 10 a.m.
