Report shows state milk
production down in July
! By GORDON L. FORD
| CEA — Agriculture
The Texas Milk Market Report was
| received last week for milk produced
; in Texas dunng July. Texas milk pro-
! duction fell nearly 6 percent in July
J compared to July 1990.
I This is the first time since March
: 1987 that milk production in Texas
I has fallen below year earlier levels.
There are 79 fewer dairymen than
I there were in January. Twenty-two
• fewer in Hopkins County. According
* to the report there were 470 Hopkins
; County producers. Producing nearly
; 12 percent less milk than the same
; month in 1990.
; Uniform blend price was $12.53
1 per hundredweight for 3.5 percent
2 milk. This is an increase of 62 cents
l from S11.91 in June. Class I price

increased 19 cents. Class II price
$1.11 and Class III price increased 41
cents.
Producer milk classified as Class I
during July amounted to 56.53 per-
cent 6! total producer receipts. This
figure is up from 50.60 percent in
June and 52.76 percent in July 1990.
Class I and II price has been set at
$13.86 and $11.51 for August and the
September price will be $14.27 and
$11,71, respectively. Excellent
demand for milk by the cheese indus-
try, purchase of milk products for
USDA food programs, and seasonal
supply and demand for milk has
affected blend price.
It looks as if we will see $13.00 to
$13.50 milk during the Fall. Beyond
that depends upon Congressional
action, number heifers calving, cli-
matic conditions, willingness of
dairymen to remain in business, and
beef cattle prices. Cull cow prices are
good which encourages dairymen to
apply heavy culling pressure.
Perhaps milk prices have bottomed
out and we are seeing a turn around,
or could it be a seasonal response?
Caution should be observed during
the short term.

Researchers dive into
study of giant snails
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas (AP)
— Scientists are watching giant
ramshom snails migrate and eat to
determine whether the creatures that
have proliferated in a lake threaten
sensitive wildlife in Comal Springs.
The multicolored snails grow to
about 2 inches and eat aquatic plants
that are used as refuge by some
species of fish, including the endan-
gered fountain darter that lives in the
springs.
Native to South America, the snails
do not naturally grow and spread
north of the equator unless artificially
introduced, said Tom Arsuffi, an
aquatic ecologist with Southwest
Texas State University.
“They’re considered to be a major
threat to biological diversity,” Arsuffi
said. The snails are sold in pet stores
and may have been dumped in Landa
Lake by the owner of a fish aquarium,
he said.
