This is a Working Ranch Cowboys Association (WRCA) sanctioned event, and the win gives the team an entry in to the WRCA Working

Ranch Cowboys Association World Championship competition to be held in November.

A total of 11 teams competed Saturday night, including the Singleton Ranches team, which won the XIT Ranch Rodeo last year. Complete results for the rodeo were not available as of press time yesterday.

The XIT Ranger’s Open Ranch Rodeo made a debut Friday for the first of two nights of rodeo action in Dalhart.

This is the first year for the event, which preceded Saturday night’s Working Ranch Cowboys Association (WRCA) sanctioned event.

Local teams from area feedlots were scheduled to compete. The winning team consisted of four Dalhart residents. They are Jace Thomas, Tyler Thomas, Randy Batenhorst and Jory Richardson.

The bronc riding competition was cancelled. However, the XIT Rodeo and Reunion directors awarded the prize buckle to Christian Olson, who made eight bronc rides during the four man competition Friday night.

Complete results for the rodeo were not available as of press time yesterday.

The second annual Dalhart Chamber of Commerce Great Steak Cook Off was held Saturday afternoon at Rita Blanca Lake Park. First place was awarded to the Red Necks. Second place was awarded to the team from G&G Operators. Third place was awarded to the team from Coronado Feeders. Fourth Place was awarded to the Production Kings. This team took the top spot in the appetizer competition. Fifth place was awarded to the BEEFFEEDERS from JBS. See page three for pictures of the winning teams.

New champion crowned in Steak Cook Off

Jeff Sanderson/The Dalhart Texan

Snow Lopez, 16, of Dalhart, Texas, was crowned the prestigious title of Miss Rodeo Texas Teen 2017 on Thursday, June 15th in San Antonio, Texas. Lopez entered the pageant as Miss Rodeo Region 1 Texas High School Rodeo Association.

Lopez said when she heard her name announced as the 2017 winner, she felt completely shocked.

“I was waiting for myself to wake up from a dream come true,” she said.

Lopez not only won the title, but also took home awards winning congeniality, speech and appearance.

Lopez, attends Orion High School where she is a member of the National Honors Society and is on the honor roll. She is active in the Tri-State Rodeo Association, THSRA, 4-H, JRCA, XIT Rangers Club and the Boys Ranch Rodeo Club. She enjoys riding in the St. Jude Trail Ride, attending her local Rotary and Lions Club meetings and spending time with her family. An accomplished cowgirl, Lopez is a state qualifier in the Texas High School Finals Rodeo in multiple events and avidly competes in barrel racing, goat tying, pole bending and breakaway roping.

One of Lopez’s favorite quotes that she lives by is, “you never lose, you just learn.” This motto has helped her persevere through pageants that she did not win and hopes that it will help

encourage others to keep chasing their dreams.

As the 45rd Miss Rodeo Texas Teen, Miss Lopez received a scholarship, trophy saddle, trophy buckle, luggage, a ring and other valuable prizes. Lopez, will be representing Texas in numerous rodeos and community events throughout the great state of Texas and other states.

A Texas tradition for more than five decades since the first Miss Rodeo Texas in 1959, the Miss Rodeo Texas Pageant has produced eight Miss Rodeo Americas. Since the inception of the Miss Rodeo Texas Pageant, Miss Rodeo Texas and Miss Rodeo Texas Teen have served as vibrant, colorful goodwill ambassadors of rodeo, the official sport of Texas, working closely with professional rodeos, rodeo associations and community organizations to keep our western heritage and keep the western industry alive and flourishing in today’s society. Contestants from all over the state participate in the Miss Rodeo Texas program competing for thousands of dollars in scholarship awards and other prizes among three age groups vying for their respective crowns. The Miss Rodeo Texas contest consists of pageant winners from 19 to 24 years old. The Miss Rodeo Texas Teen consists of winners from 14 to 18 year old. The Miss Rodeo Texas Princess competition consists

of 9 to 13 year old contestants. The selection of each of the rodeo queens is based on horsemanship, appearance, and personality competitions with the crowning of the winners on coronation night in San Antonio, TX. Please view the Miss

Rodeo Texas website,www.missrodeotexas.com for more information. Miss Rodeo Texas 2017, Tianti Carter, will be competing in the Miss Rodeo America pageant in Las Vegas, Nevada in conjunction with the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (PRCA).

Sprouts: Why are they so dangerous?

“Like any fresh produce that is consumed raw or lightly cooked, sprouts that are served on salads, wraps, sandwiches, and in some Asian food may contain bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. But unlike other fresh produce, sprouts are grown from seeds and beans under warm and humid conditions. These conditions are also ideal for the growth of bacteria, including Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli. If just a few harmful bacteria are present in or on the seed, the bacteria can grow to high levels during sprouting, even if you are growing your own sprouts under sanitary conditions at home.

Children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems (such as transplant patients and individuals with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and diabetes) should avoid eating raw or lightly cooked sprouts of any kind (including onion, alfalfa, clover, radish, and mung bean sprouts). When eating out, you can ask that raw sprouts not be added to your food. If you purchase a sandwich or salad at a restaurant or delicatessen, check to make sure that raw sprouts have not been added.” (USDA—Buy, Store, & Serve Safe Food—Sprouts: What You Should Know, 2017)

What can you do to help reduce the risk of illness when serving sprouts?

• Purchase from approved suppliers.

• Wash sprouts thoroughly under cool running water before eating or cooking. Washing may reduce bacteria that may be present, but it will not eliminate it.

Summer Catering TipsAccording to CDC

statistics, illnesses from reported outbreaks of foodborne illness linked to catering exceed those from restaurants or home cooking. How can your food establishment protect customers from illness?

- Remember - keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot during transport and at the event

Keep food out of the temperature danger zone (41°F-135°F) - regularly check the temperatures of hot and cold foods Use ice baths for cold food and chafing dishes with sternos for hot foods

Keep food out of direct sunlight if possible Keep bugs away

If food drops below 135°F or goes above 41°F for more than 4 hours—throw it out!

- If dropping off food for an event - leave clear instructions on keeping food hot (135°F or above) or cold (41°F or below) - if not consumed immediately, label with use by dates and proper reheating instructions, and remind customers to not leave food out for longer than 2 hours.

- If preparing the food at the event - follow the same guidelines you would at your food establishment.

Keep foods at proper temperatures and cook foods to proper temperatures Do not cross-contaminate

Follow proper cleaning and sanitizing of all food contact surfaces Wash hands

Consuming Raw OystersRaw oysters are a popular

dish among many Americans. There are some populations that are at a higher risk for

becoming very sick and/or dying from the consumption of raw oysters. The

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises high risk populations to not eat raw oysters and only eat oysters that have been cooked.

Vibrio vulnificus (V. vulnificus) is a bacterium that occurs naturally in warm coastal areas, such

as the Gulf of Mexico. Vibrio vulnificus is found in higher concentrations in the summer months as water becomes warmer. Oysters feed by filtering water in surrounding areas where vibrios may thrive and as a result concentrate V. vulnificus is in their tissues. When a person eats these shellfish raw or undercooked, the bacteria enter the digestive tract and multiply rapidly.

While not potentially life-threatening to most healthy people, symptoms of V. vulnificus infection may occur within 24 to 48 hours of ingestion and may include sudden chills, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, shock and skin lesions. In people with certain medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes or liver disease death can occur within two days.

Since thoroughly cooking oysters will destroy the bacteria, oysters can continue to be enjoyed by only serving fully cooked oysters (reach minimum internal temperature of 145°F) or have a warning label/disclosure statement about the consumption of raw and undercooked foods being potentially harmful in a conspicuous location such as a menu or table tent.

TFER FAQ (Technical Questions)

Can a cedar wood plank be used as a cooking surface?

Yes, if the following criteria are met:

1) The plank must be a single-use item and be discarded after use.

2) The plank must be clean, smooth, and free of any splinters or loose debris.

3) Documentation must be available to show that the wood was not treated with any type of chemical substance.

Are raw fruits and vegetables considered time/temperature control for safety foods (TCS)?

No except for cut tomatoes, cut leafy greens, cut melons, and raw seed sprouts.

Using Table B in §228.2 (144) of the TFER, cut fresh tomatoes, cut leafy greens, cut melons, and raw seed sprouts are considered a TCS food because they will support the growth of foodborne pathogens. Whole intact tomatoes and melons with their protective waxy cuticle/rinds and lower water activity on the vegetable/fruit surface do not support the growth of foodborne pathogens on the surface and would not be considered a TCS food.

Can a food employee wear a medical identification bracelet?

A food employee, while preparing food, is not allowed to wear jewelry on their arms or hands, with the exception of a smooth, plain ring. Necklaces with medical information or identification tags are acceptable.

Does a triggered sprayer on the end of a hose serve as adequate backflow prevention?

A triggered sprayer on the end of a hose is not an adequate backflow prevention device.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller congratulated the efforts of the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and China’s Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) on their hard work to create an agreement that will drastically increase U.S. dairy exports to China.

Chinese food-safety regulations put into place about three years ago

required U.S. milk suppliers to be registered and certified by FDA before they could ship to China.

The process was difficult for U.S. dairy producers and certifying officials to navigate, which meant new U.S. milk exporters found it hard to gain access to the steadily-growing Chinese market.

Now an agreement has been reached that will permit third-party certification companies to audit U.S. dairy facilities to ensure compliance with Chinese requirements.

“This is a win for dairy producers across the nation but especially Texas producers,” Commissioner Miller said.

“The Texas dairy industry was already experiencing positive growth for 2017, and easier access to the Chinese market will only help our dairy producers expand their herds and production. I am confident the Chinese consumer will quickly learn what we already know—Texas dairy is the cream of the crop!”

As Commissioner-

elect, Commissioner Miller hosted a delegation of Chinese officials in Austin to grow agriculture trade opportunities between Texas and the Gansu province of China.

Once in office, Commissioner Miller took an extended 11-day trip to China to visit Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Lanzhou to further build relationships and tap into this expanding market.

The U.S. exported $384 million worth of dairy products to China last year, but this was less than 1

percent of China’s dairy imports.

The new regulations will facilitate better entrance for Texas producers to the No. 1 dairy importer in the world.

The announcement is especially fitting as we celebrate National Dairy Month in June.

According to the Texas Association of Dairymen, Texas has 395 dairies with an estimated 487,078 cows.

The total economic impact in Texas is estimated at more than

$3.3 billion, third in Texas agriculture commodities. Texas is the sixth-largest dairy producing state in the nation, with plenty of room for expansion due to lower feed costs and expected higher future milk prices.

“Pretty soon, we expect Texas milk production to reach levels of 100 million gallons of milk per month,” Commissioner Miller said. “I look forward to seeing the Texas national dairy economic ranking rise as our dairy producers take advantage of this agreement.”

Commissioner Miller expresses support to U.S. dairy industry on China deal

Pot pie makes for a delicious meal, especially when home cooks go the extra mile and prepare homemade pie crust. Some may be intimidated by the idea of making their own pie crusts, but the following recipe for “Turkey Vegetable Pot Pie with Whole-Wheat Crust” from Michelle Dudash’s “Clean Eating for Busy Families” (Fair Winds) simplifies that process, ensuring a fun and easy time cooking and, ultimately, a delicious meal.

Turkey Vegetable Pot Pie with Whole-Wheat CrustServes 6

For the crust:1 cup whole-wheat flour1 cup all-purpose flour1/4 teaspoon salt2/3 cup corn oil1/3 cup orange juice

For the filling:1 carton condensed

cream of chicken soup (organic preferred)

1/2 cup low-fat milk11/4 p o u n d

boneless, skinless turkey breast, thinly sliced into bite-size pieces

1 cup thinly sliced carrots (or frozen sliced carrots, thawed)

1 cup leeks, quartered lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise, using white and pale green parts only

3/4 cup thinly sliced celery

1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed

3 tablespoons whole-wheat flour

2 teaspoons dried herbes de

Provence (or 1/2 teaspoon each thyme, rosemary and basil)

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

To make the crust: Combine flours and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in oil and orange juice and stir until moistened. Press dough to flatten and chill.

To make the filling: Blend soup and 1/2 cup of milk in a large bowl. Mix in the remaining ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Divide dough into 2 balls, one slightly larger than the other. Roll the larger ball between 2 large sheets of waxed paper until it is 1/8-inch-thick or until it fits in the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Remove the top sheet of waxed paper. Turn dough over and carefully place in the pie pan, removing remaining piece of waxed paper. Press out any bubbles and patch holes with scraps of dough. Pour filling into the prepared pan. Roll remaining dough and lay it on top. Cut any excess dough hanging from the edges and crimp the crust between your thumb and forefinger to seal. Cut a heart into the center to allow steam to escape.

Place the pie on a sheet pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until center of crust becomes golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the pie’s center reaches 165 F, covering browned edges only with foil about halfway through cooking. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting.

Soil water storage, new varieties critical to wheat production

AMARILLO – Regardless of what watering regimen a producer might have on wheat, in the High Plains it is critical that new varieties are grown to maximize yields, according to a long-running study by Texas A&M AgriLife Research.

The purpose of this study is to show how different varieties of wheat respond to different levels of water, said Dr. Qingwu Xue, AgriLife Research crop stress physiologist in Amarillo.

“The overall objective of our program is to better understand the physiological responses of different wheat genotypes to drought stress and water-limited conditions,” Xue said. “We have an overall goal to improve the water-use efficiency and yields of wheat.”

Utilizing a center-pivot irrigation system, he has been growing the top 20 varieties for the High Plains under three to five different water treatments ranging from dryland to limited and full irrigation since 2011. The physiology group works with Dr. Jackie Rudd, wheat breeder, and Dr. Shuyu Liu, small grain geneticist, both with AgriLife Research in Amarillo.

“We want to identify the best management practices and genotypes in these environments to recommend to producers that will help them optimize their water use,” Xue said.

“So far, what we have found is effective water use is still very important, especially under limited-water conditions. Dr. Sushil Thapa, the post-doctoral scientist working in our group, has summarized field data for the last five wheat growing seasons at Bushland.

“We are looking at the soil-water dynamics in different varieties developed from the 1970s to the most recent and how the soil-water extraction is correlated to yield and yield components,” Xue said. “What we found is the newer varieties have better capability to utilize soil water.”

Wheat needs to be able to access and utilize stored soil water, seasonal rainfall and any irrigation water to get higher yields, Xue and Thapa said.

They found the wheat was using water only from the 3-4 foot soil profile in the dry season of 2011. In contrast, the wheat plots harvested in 2016 were able to use the water from 6-8 feet.

“That’s very important when you look at the roots and the soil-water dynamics,” Xue said. “In very dry seasons, the roots cannot go deep enough to take advantage of the water.”

That is why it is also important to take care of the above-ground growth, he said. The newer varieties have better and more vigorous early growth, which means they have more above-ground biomass and better ground cover in the early stage. This

also helps to improve the root mass as well as the rooting depth.

Over the last 30 or 40 years, breeding has improved wheat’s capability to access soil water stored during the fallow period and the water from seasonal rainfall.

They found the newer varieties are especially able to access the deeper water.

“We specifically looked at TAM 105 compared to TAM 111 and TAM 112,” Xue said. “Comparing those three varieties, the two newer varieties always had a better ability to extract water from the deeper soil.”

The best way to improve soil-water storage is allowing for sufficient fallow periods with good residue management, Xue said.

With good soil moisture, the newer varieties will produce more forage and establish a better root system in the early stages of growth, Thapa said.

“While many producers may think about forage only for cattle grazing, it is also important for yield potential as it is a good indicator that a strong root system is being developed,” Xue said

Xue provided an example of how the varieties make a difference. In an extreme drought year like 2011, TAM 105, developed in the 1970s, yielded only 8 bushels per acre. TAM 111 and TAM 112, developed more recently, yielded 10 bushels per acre under dryland conditions.

“In a wet year like 2016,

the variety difference was even more significant,” he said. “With the older varieties, you’re looking at around 40 bushels per acre. But the newer varieties like TAM 114 yielded 60 bushels per acre. So if you can get 10 to 20 bushels per acre difference over a large area that’s a big difference.”

Xue said using the newer varieties with the ability to produce more forage early and thus deeper roots will help, but the field must have good

soil water to start with, even on dryland, or it might be well to let the field lay fallow for a longer time.

“In this environment, if you don’t have good ground cover and good forage in the early stages of wheat, you probably don’t have a good chance to obtain the higher grain yield, given a highly variable seasonal rainfall,” he said.

For years with exceptional water, he suggested producers consider putting nitrogen

on their wheat field to help early growth and the ability to utilize deep soil moisture.

Also, producers who know their wheat will have adequate water need to consider the newer varieties with disease-resistance traits, he said.

“That was especially significant this year when we saw a lot of wheat streak mosaic virus damage on some varieties and much less on others,” Xue said.

Dr. Qingwu Xue, AgriLife Research crop stress physiologist in Amarillo, and Dr. Sushil Thapa, a post-doctoral scientist, check out a plot of wheat in the study. (Texas A&M AgriLife photo by Kay Ledbetter)
