Recent freezes, insects, rust
dwindling county grain crops
Early voting starts

By LARRY SMI
What was considered a bumper
crop of small grain six weeks ago in
McC Tulloch ( Bounty may soon be a
complete disaster
"It’s come fullc irc le." McC Tulloch
county agent Jerry Kidd told the Brad
Standard //eraldMondayattemnoon
"I’m wondering now if we can
even make a crop "
The weather is the culprit, as it
usually is in the Heart of Texas It
either rams too much or not enough
And sometimes a late freeze kills
things
"We were in pretty good shape
until that 2( temperature hit us on
March 30) Then eight days later on
April 7 another cold front hit the
county The official temperature in
Brady was 3 3 . but it was below
freezing in some places." Kidd said
Thecounty agent said it would be
about Hi iday before he c an determine
if any crops of wheat and oats will be
harvested
Thecounty received goodrais in
October and above rainfall in No
vember, but since then ‘ncy have
been about normal
It it’s not the lack of or too much
rain, it’s insects or a new disease
calledstripe rust Now it’s the weather
"Green bugs, that had not been
around these parts in several years,
came in January Farmers sprayed
for the bugs and the spread of weeds
which come after a cool, wet. mild
w inter ." he said
Plant lice also infested the crops,
but w Then the rams ceased in March,
that brought ever ything bac k to nor

"We were looking at that bumper
crop until March 30. The said We
were in good shape The wheat wasin
its boot stage (not heading out), but
the freeze got the stem instead of the

He said he would have a better
handle on the situation by the end of
the week
"Surveys of the county crops re
veal beautiful green fields, but they
will not produce It’s as simple as
that." Kidd said
Most of the small grain crops in
McC ulloch C bounty have been in
sured. the county agent said
"It’s only a safety net. it won’t
cover it all."
Kidd adi ised local farmers totalk
