Texas Wheat Producers
Executive Bill Nelson
To Retire
Bill Nelson, 73, Executive Vice President
of the Texas Wheat Producers Association
and Producers Board, has informed the
officers and directors of the organization of
his intent to retire from the executive,
administrative and supervisory responsibili-
ties of the organization as of March 31,
1998. Producer Board Chairman, Billy
Vinson, Abilene, and Producer Association
President, Tommy Womack, Tulia, have
indicated that arrangements have been
made by the organization’s directors for
Nelson to continue in an “Emeritus" status
for two more years in order for the staff and
officers to continue to have access to his
advice and counsel. This will coincide with
his 30 years with the wheat organization
and 50 years in professional agricultural
leadership — 8 years with the Oklahoma
State University Agricultural Extension
Service and 12 years with the Grain Sorghum
Producers Association.
The Texas Wheat Producers Association
is the voluntary supported wheat commodity
group responsible for state and federal
legislative and administrative liaison, while
the Texas Wheat Producers Board is an all
producers’ statewide, self-assessment
effort to enhance their income through
research, education and market development.
Nelson earned BS and MS degrees in
Agricultural Economics and Marketing and
attended Oklahoma State and Colorado
State Universities. His alma mater, OSU
Department of Agricultural Economics, has
named him a “Distinguished Alumnus.”
When Nelson joined the Texas Wheat
Producers Association as its initial execu-
tive officer, Texas produced 30 million
bushels of wheat priced at $1.25 per
bushel, making its statewide value
$37.5 million. Current value to Texas wheat
producers exceeds $530 million from a
118 million bushel crop. The increase has
resulted from improved varieties, better
production and marketing, and increased
domestic and export demand, changing
public and export policy — all of which the

Bill Nelson, 1997
TWPA/TWPB and Nelson have been active
in helping bring about through their leader-
ship and support. These endeavors to
develop new markets and maintain existing
ones have taken Nelson into virtually every
state in the nation that produces, markets,
stores and exports wheat and feed grains
and into over 65 countries on 5 continents
working on trade relations, transportation
issues, duties and tariffs, as well as U.S. and
foreign trade policy.
Three ag-related organizations or institu-
tions have named Nelson “Man of the Year
in Texas Agriculture” — the editors of
Progressive Farmer Magazine; the “Texas
County Agricultural Agents Association,”
and the “Texas Grain and Feed Associa-
tion.” Additionally, The Specialist Association
of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service
presented him with the “Visionary Award for
Outstanding Leadership.”
In 1995, Nelson was presented a plaque
which read “Professional Agricultural
Workers of Texas Recognizes Bill Nelson
for Outstanding Leadership in Professional
Organization Management.” Also, “The
Gerald W. Thomas Award for Outstanding
Agriculturist" was presented to him in 1997
by the College of Agricultural Sciences and
Natural Resources of Texas Tech
University, the highest non-academic
recognition given by the college.
The Board and Association Directors
have named Rodney Mosier, Executive
Assistant to the organization since 1984, to
fill the position to be vacated by Nelson
March 31, according to the officers.
Nelson and his wife, Aillene, have two
daughters — Vikki Nelson, of The Woodlands
near Houston, and son-in law and daughter,
John and Tanya Freeh, and grandchildren,
Nelson, 3, and Allison, 1, of Plano.

Beef Checkoff Export Efforts Generate
Triple-Digit Sales
The Texas beef industry has seen triple-digit increases in beef
sales to some Mexican markets thanks to an initiative co-funded
by the Texas Beef Council (TBC) through the $1 per head beef
checkoff program and three participating Texas exporting
companies.
TBC's partners included a portion-control, a trader and a beef
distribution company, all operating in Texas.
TBC administers the $1 per head beef checkoff in Texas.
Through its Intensified Partnership Initiative (IPI), it helped fund
programs to teach Mexican foodservice operators how to use and
market underutilized U.S. beef cuts.
Bill Tullos of San Angelo, chairman of the TBC export market
development committee, praised IPI as a tool to leverage beef
checkoff dollars. He said IPI partners pay a growing percentage
of the program costs each year.
The partners benefit by having their export businesses grow.
The Texas beef industry benefits by creating new beef consumers
and reducing the supply that must be sold in the U.S..
"The program created new demand in Mexico for chuck and
round cuts produced in Texas," Tullos said. "This is important for
the beev industry because these end meats represent 66 percent
of the beef carcass. The Texas IPI partners now are selling 14
different beef cuts. Before IPI, they were selling three basic
cuts."
The U.S. Meat Export Federation in Mexico City helped identify
the Mexican participants, who were divided into seven separate
groups for beef trainings.
Following each of the seven trainings, TBC's exporting partners
provided intensive sales pressure and customer service to the
participants on an ongoing basis. The result of all these activities
was huge increases in beef sales for the three exporting partners,
even considering that Mexico bought near-record amounts of
U.S. beef in 1997.
USDA's recently released final export figures showed Mexico
became the second largest customer for U.S. beef last year,
jumping ahead of South Korea and Canada. Mexico's tonnage
purchases of beef and beef variety meats increased 64 percent to
approximately 146,000 metric tons. The dollar value of these
purchases increased 74 percent to $345 million.
"In 1997, U.S. exporters enjoyed the best year for beef sales to
Mexico since the 1994 devaluation," said beef producer Bill Tuiios
of San Angelo, chairman of TBC's export market development
committee. "Yet the beef chechoff-funded IPI program helped
these three Texas exporting companies far exceed Mexico's
already high results."
The three IPI partners cumulatively increased their beef tonnage
sales to Mexico fro 46,484 pounds a month to 158,481 pounds a
month - a 241 percent increase - after the checkoff-funded
trainings. The dollar value of these sales increased from $86,387
per month to $243,100 a month - a 181 percent increase.
In the eight months following an IPI training, one casual dining
restaurant chain in Mexico went from buying no U.S. beef to
buying almost 8 metric tons of chuck cuts per month.
TBC is continuing its IPI programs this year in additionto other
export market development activities. One of TBC's export goals
is to increase the volume of Texas beef exported to other
countries in order to benefit the state's beef producers.
Studies conducted by CF Resources have shown that in 1996
global U.S. beef exports added $99.70 per head to the value of
calves; $105 to feeder cattle; and $110.06 to fed cattle.

Healthy Living
Suffering from arthritis, high
blood pressure or fatigue?
Look no further than your
own kitchen for help.
Some of the most
remarkable medicines
may be found in your
kitchen cabinet rather
than your medicine cabi-
net. Common kitchen
items such as honey, gar-
lic and vinegar were
believed by the ancient
Egyptians, Greeks and
Romans to have remark-
able healing powers.
Recent scientific research
is now bearing that out.
Leading health
researchers have noted
the following attributes
to the use of honey, garlic
and vinegar: they lower
blood pressure and cho-
lesterol; improve circula-
tion; combat arthritis,
prostate inflammation,
and muscle aches; help
you sleep and improve
digestion. They can also
fight age spots and
fatigue, speed weight
loss, kill bacteria, disin-
fect wounds, and ease
pain. They can be used in
a variety of ways such as
compresses, liniments,
tonics, ointments and
teas, depending upon the
particular ailment you
are treating. Of course
like all home remedies,
these should only be
used with the guidance
of a health care profes-
sional.
