talent and experience which should be

For more than two decades the Senior
Community Service Employment Program,

recognized and has encouraged both public and
private sector employers to utilize this valuable
resource.

Commissioner Jim
Hightower visited the West

Thursday afternoon visiting
with some of the farmers and
ranchers at the auction
facility.
Hightower’s West Auction
visit was among a day full of
stops in the Central Texas
area. On these type trips, the

him a chance “to talk turkey”

Discussing the current

The proposed legislation
. basically deals with improving
the marketability of
agriculture products. The first
part of the legislation,
Hightower explained, will use
the authority of the
government to control
production. This is targeted,
he added, so the family
farmer will get a full allocation
for planting while the larger
farming conglomerates would
have their acreage allotment
decreased.
This would “give them (the
government) a supply
management tool.” This
would lower the amount of
production and raise
agriculture prices, he added.
Another part of the
legislation would encourage
good soil and water practices.
This proposed new bill would
undo the damage former
Secretary of Agriculture Earl
Butz did while in office, the ag
commissioner noted.
Concerning ranchers, the
commissioner said he had
been working with them as
well as farmers in expanding
their markets. The state is
establishing an international
market staff to link
agriculturalists directly with
foreign buyers. He cited some
recent sales of cattle from
Texas ranchers to Mexico as
examples of how the system
works.

President Reagan's proposed

Concerning one of the ag
commissioner’s projects, the
farmers market, Hightower
said 19 markets were
established last year and six
more are planned in 1985.
“It has been a real
successful program", he said
with both the producer and
consumer benefiting. The
farmers selling their goods at
a farmers market received a
30 percent increase while the
price consumers paid one-

“getting better quality.”
