"I competed at the state level in the
New Mexico VICA competition at
Albuquerque," he said. "I won first
place for the entire state in post-
secondary."
Taking first place in state made
him eligible for national competition
at Kansas City, Mo.
"We arrived on Sunday and then
competed on Thursday," Mahannah
said. "There were a lot of exhibits
from manufacturers and some re-
quired meetings to explain how the
competition works. That took most of
the time Monday through Wednes-
day."
"Talk about worn out after one day.
There were 13 work stations covering
all makes and many models," he said.
"Some required diagnosis of differ-
ent vehicle systems. Somewcre bench
stations requiring performance of
critical measurements of components
like transmissions and engines. I was
prepared for it."
Whicker helped Mahannah pre-
pare by spending an entire week with
him doing research on the areas that
would be covered in the contest.
"For example, we went to a Honda
dealership and talked to their techs
and had them explain how the system
we were researching worked," he said.
"We borrowed service manuals, took
them back to the school and copied
the information we needed The deal-
ers were really helpful, and it goes to
show that you can't really do anyth ing
by yourself It takes a team effort to
accomplish anything."
"I am really confident now and
know that I can accomplish anything
I put my mind to," he said. "Both the
New Mexico and National were very
important to me. I felt good about
myself after completing school, and
even better after the competition. I
know that I have the ability to accom-
plish any task on a vehicle, and before
I couldn't. I was always questioning
myself I can support my family and
that is one of the major things. I can
communicate with everyone and that
is important in everything."
"In a lot of ways the world is going
toward training for a specific type of
work. You stand still without an edu-
cation, and I am proud and pleased
about my school I recommend the
asset program to anyone who is inter-
ested in automotive technology It
worked for me," Mahannah said.
Out At The Farm
by John Herring
■'■mm
Most local wheat farmers are see-
ing the best wheat growth on their
farms this year that they have seen in
several years. The almost county wide
rains of a couple weeks ago were
followed by additional showers and
lots of cool, damp weather this past
week that has been ideal for winter
wheat growth.
Cotton farmers are nervous about
their upcoming harvest and the hint
that wet weather might be more com-
mon than usual Wheat farmers and
cattlemen arc all smiles, however
Since Swisher County traditionally is
the county where wheat and stock
farming meets cotton country, those
of us that farm both arc having to
alternate between frowningand smil-
ing!
With the slow drying we have had,
it has been too wet to get around on
turn rows in the areas where the rains
were heaviest. By Monday, I could
finally get around everywhere with-
out making a mess. Everything looks
good. Wheat stands are near perfect
and very healthy looking. The cotton
is looking better and better as the
leaves fall off and the bolls open.
Milo heads arc maturing and appear
to be unusually solid with well-filled
grain
Several milo fields need a couple
more weeks to fill out before it freezes
but most cotton is ready for a frost to
speed dry down. Even though it hasn’t
frozen the cotton yet, maturity has
stopped because it takes a higher
average temperature to add to fiber
maturity than it does to mature other
crops like milo. Milo is maturing
clnwlv but it is still maturing at these
temperatures.
Wheat forage grows as long as the
soil temperature is 42 degrees or
above. The wheat forage that devel-
ops at this time of the year can be
pastured offby cattle without damag-
ing grain yield potential To winter
cattle on wheat fields, forage growth
needs to occur faster than the cattle
can eat it in the fall in order for there
to be forage for the cattle to eat in the
dead of winter when forage growth
will stop or nearly stop
Wheat growth will usually resume
sometime in February The stock
farmer has to use his judgment to
determine a stocking rate that will
leave enough forage for the cattle
until growth begins again. It usually
takes from one to three acres of wheat
to run a yearling on wheat pasture
from late October until mid March.
Cattle have to be removed from the
wheat fields once the wheat plants
change from vegetative growth to
fruiting growth This is the jointing
stage and occurs usually in mid March
in this area. When wheat grain is
cheap fanners often opt to leave the
cattle on the wheat to pasture out until
mid May rather than harvest for grain.
Using wheat for winter forage is a
big thing in our area because our mild
winters allow better performance of
the cattle than in areas further north.
Even though wheat pasture doesn’t
generate large gross income per acre,
it may produce more net income per
acre some years than the traditional
high expense high income crops like
cotton. This is particularly true on
dryland farms.
