All dairy producers are
reminded of the upcoming
dairy program Thursday.
Feb. 16 in the Council
Room of the County Cour-
thouse in Rusk.
The program will begin
at 10 a.m. and end by noon.
Program emphasis will be
on reproduction with topics
including breeding
management and breeding
strategy. Speakers Will in-
clude Dr. Mike
Tomazewski and Dr. Max
Sudweeks, both Extension
dairy specialists
This program should
prove very valuable for
dairy producers as we con-
tinue to strive for top
management in these tur-
bulent times.
Now is the time for
producers to be thinking
about weed control in
pastures. This practice is
one of the most overlooked
methods of producing more
and better quality forage.
There is an old saying
that wherever there is a
pound of weeds growing the
careful producer can grow
an extra pound of grass,
and certainly in East Texas
this is true.
Weed control begins
early in February and
March with the use of pre-
emergent herbicides. This
will control most spring
weeds that germinate from
seeds. It will also control
bermuda grass and bahia
grass that germinates from
seed
Once plants have
emerged, producers must
rely on contact herbicides
to control the unwanted
item. The key to effective
and economical control is
to spray the weeds early
(April through May) while
they are still young and
tender. A higher control
rate can be obtained with
lower rates of herbicide.
Remember that weeds
can be an indicator that
some pasture management
practices need adjusting,
such as stocking rates, fer-
tilizer and lime rates, and
grazing practices.
Just a quick closing note
Have you ever wondered
what really affects the
price we get for beef cat-
tle? It is actually a rather
complicated answer.
Of course, the most im-
portant factor is produc-
tion. Obviously the more
meat available, the lower
will be the price received.
Second in importance is
the price of the meat
product and the price of all
products that can be sub-
stituted for beef. This will
affect consumption and,
therefore, demand for beef
products.
Income is the next most
important factor affecting
consumption. The lower
the income, the less meat
consumed.
Other factors that make
up the category of 'tastes
and preferences' include
occupation of the con-
sumer, urban vs. rural
dwellers, familv size, race,
religion, nationality, away
from-home eating, season
of the year, government
programs like food stamps,
and finally the prestige
associated with meat con-
sumption.
It all has a part in the
price we receive for our
calves. It seems that
nothing is simple anymore.
