CHANGING SKYLINE...With the demolition of the tornado-damaged former Eastern Seed Company/ Zipp Industries building, just north of the railroad tracks and between avenues F and H, the downtown skyline
takes on a new look. The old grain warehouse, once a thriving business in this agricultural community, has seen little or no use for several years. Heavy demolition equipment made quick work of the building and grain
bins, reducing the two-block long group of structures to a pile of rubble in about two days.

Texans get 'catty' about eating
Farm-raised catfish sales are jumping in Texas. According to a survey
by the Texas Aquaculture Association, aquaculture producers plan to
construct 1,734 acres of ponds for commercial catfish production
over the next five years, with the majority of these ponds functional
within three years.
Texas producers are confident that factors such as the growing
season, water quality and feed quality provide them with a
competitive advantage over other regions in the United
States. Such expansion can also benefit
rural economies.
And there is plenty of room to
grow.Texans consume 45 percent
of all catfish grown in the United
States, which shows plenty of
potential for sales in the rest
of the country.
