COASTAL BEND: Heavy

SOUTH: Farmers have
completed cotton harvesting
but are still busy plowing
under stalks. Recent heavy
rains have delayed hay mak-
ing and have damaged some
severe moisture stress, with
poor yield prospects. Some
cattle are going to market as
grazing conditions decline,
and a few stackers are star-
ting to arrive in anticipation
of wheat grazing. Wheat
seeding continues.
SOUTH PLAINS: Corn
harvesting is gaining momen-
tum, and some high moisture
grain sorghum is being
harvested. Irrigated cotton
continues to develop well but
is late; the dryland crop is in
poor shape due to lack of rain.

Coping with disabilities can
be extra traumatic for
farmers because of the
physical nature of their work.
So e special conference aim-
ed at helping disabled
farmers will be held at Texas
ARM University Oct. 45.
"Farming to one of the
moot hazardous occupations
around as witnessed by the
high accident rat*,” points
out Dr. Gary Nelson, safety
engineer with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice, Texas A&M University
System, who is coordinating
the conference. "Texas
farmers and ranchers have
some 20,000 disabling injuries
each year, of which up to
2,000 are permanent
disabilities."
With some help from
technology and other sources,
these farmers and ranchers
can learn to live and work
with their disabilities, con-
tends Nelson. And that's what
the upcoming conference is
all about. It will be in Room
200 of Texas A&M's Memorial
: sas <
Student Center and will begin
at 0:20 a.m. the first day.
“The conference is design-
ed to familiarize disabled far-
mers and ranchers with new
technology to live more in-
dependent lives,” says
N.lenm
Ne-on
Keynote conferene
speakers will include Dr. Bill
Field, a safety engineer at
Purdue University, who will
discuss special tractor lifts
and a host of other tractor
conditions, putting increasing
pressure on ranchers to cull
herds and to provide sup-
plemental feed for remaining
livestock.
WEST CENTRAL: The
drought continues to stress
crops, ranges and livestock.
Most grain sorghum has been
harvested, with fair to good
yields, and cotton is starting
to open. Some farmers are
dry-seeding oats. Livestock
culling and feeding continues.
CENTRAL: Cotton
harvesting is active, with
yields better than average in
some counties. Farmers are
preparing land for small
grains but are waiting on
planting moisture. Stock
tanks are drying up and graz-
ing continues to decline, so
producers are increasing hay
feeding.
EAST: Good hay yields
have been harvested and ad-
ditional cuttings continue. Ar-
myworms are starting to in-
fest some pastures. Livestock
continue to have good graz-
ing. Fall gardening is active.
