Workshops set on prescribed burning
Fire unleases its fury
when burning out of control.
But that same fire can work
to a rancher’s advantage
when used under proper
conditions. In fact, pre-
scribed fire can be an effi-
cient, economical brush con-
trol practice.
South Texas ranchers can
get the facts and figures
about fire as a brush man-
agement tool Friday, De-

When you borrow money, you need to
know more than just interest rates.
How the cost is calculated is what really
counts. PC A charges interest only on the
money you borrow and only for the time you
actually use the money.
And PC A interest rates are competitive.
This is low cost. This is PCA.
Wjhat’s more, you can depend on PCA to
have the money available without being all
loaned up.
Repayment is tailored to fit your operation.
For competitive loan rates, with repayment
flexibility, from a credit source you can
depend on, let your nearby Production Credit
Association give you a hand.

Soybean prices drop
Soybeans can be an excel-
lent money crop when condi-
tions are right, but they
haven’t been right for some
time, especially in Texas.
Between last year’s
drought and this year’s al-
ternating periods of either
too much or not enough rain,
soybean production has suf-
fered. Adding to the woes of
growers is the fact that the
bottom has dropped out of
the soybean market.
In the wake of this bleak
outlook, growers must plan
their marketing strategy,
says Johnny Feagan, econo-
mist with the Texas Agri-
cultural Extension Service,
Texas A&M University Sys-
tem Putting this year’s crop
of soybeans into storage
might be the best move and
would give growers an op-
portunity to capitalize on a
possible market upswing in a
few months. However, Fea-
gan cautions that soybean
prices would have to move
up 10 to 12 cents a month to
cover storage and interest
costs.
Currently, soybeans are
bringing $5.25 to $6 a bushel,
down sharply from $9 to $10
range two years ago, notes
the economist.
Texas’ 1981 crop stands at
about 650,000 acres with an
average yield of 23 bushels
per acre. This total of almost
15 million bushels is above
last year’s drought-plagued

crop, but that's little solace
to growers because of the
sluggish market.
U.S. production is esti-
mated at 2.1 billion bushels,
18 percent above last year’s
crop due mainly to average
yields of 31.5 bushels per
acre, 19 percent higher than
in 1980.
Since soybeans are a maj-
or oilseed crop, they are
affected by world oilseed
production which is current-
ly at record levels and 9
percent higher than last
year, notes Feagan, U.S.
oilseed production, which in-
cludes cottonseed, peanuts,
sunflowers and flax in addi-
tion to soybeans, is up
almost 20 percent.
Although domestic use of
soybeans is expected to in-
crease about 10 percent due
to record supplies and low
prices, a flat livestock sect-
tor, high interest rates and a
continued weak economy
will likely have a dampening
effect on net income of
growers, says Feagan. ~-

Easy sausage smoking methods given
Ceremonies were held in the
State Capitol in November
for the 01 families whose
properties were registered
in 1981.
There are many ways to
smoke meat. One way of
smoking is to build a small
fire out of hardwood (pecan,
hickory or oak i at one end of
a backyard, closed-type
cooker Bum it until live
coals are obtained, then put
a few hardwood chips on the
coals. Place the sausage or
cured meat cuts on the rack
on the opposite end from the
coals. Use enough water on
the chips so they do not
blaze and smoke the sausage
with the cooker closed Keep
the temperature of the cook-
er between 130 degrees F.
and 150 degrees F.
Smokehouses can be made
from any closed device such
as old refrigerators, oil
drums, etc. An air inlet is
needed at the bottom and a
damper at the top Some
method for keeping the in-
terior hot is needed The
whole smoking and drying
procedure can be accom-
plished in one of these
devices, but requires close
watching.
Try a small quantity at
first until you perfect your
own special method.
