Riley named District 5-2A Coach of the Year

Fresh from a trip to the San Antonio Stock Show, Abernathy FFA advisor Gerald Kelley (right) loaded up (from left) JP Montgomery, Roger May and Chase Watson for a trip to Houston Tuesday night. Kelley's tractor restoration team restored the 1955 Oliver and won third in San Antonio in the 1950·1959 ag mechanics project division. They will compete in a similar division in Houston. The team is judged on the project, a journal which documents the project and how they discuss the technical aspects with judges. Watson said they never know when showmanship judges come by their display, so they must put forth their best "performance" for everyone that stops by their display.

SEEDSt FROM · THE SOWER·

Billy Robinson walked down a street in New York City recently and slopped to light a cigarette.

When he struck the malch, the building next to him blew up Leaking gas accumulaled in the building, and the match sel off the explosion .

The tongue is just as destruc­tive. The Living Bible says it "can turn our whole lives into a blazing fire of destruction and disaster."

But your tongue can bless rather than burn, itcan heal rather than hurt. II can be pure ralher than putrid , it can bless God rather than blaspheme Him.

How? By yielding it to Him. The next time you cleanse your teeth , ask God to cleanse and con trol your tongue. He will!

Farm and Ranch News peG's 48th Annual Meeting Apr. 7 Lubbock Memorial Civic Center '

Friday, April 1, 2005 By Shawn Wade

Less than one week remains until the 48th Plains Cotton Growers Annual Meeting. This year's PCG Annual Meeting will take place on Thursday, April 7, 2005 in the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center Banquet Hall.

PCG's meeting is being held in conjunction with the Texas Cotton Ginners' Convention & Trade Show on April 7-8, The TOGA Convention & Trade Show is also being held at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center.

Addressing the PCG membership this year are Dr. Mark Lange, President and CEO of the National Cotton Council of America, and Mr. Jim Wiesemeyer, Vice Presi­dent for Informa Economics and leading Washington, DC­based agricultural journalist and' policy analyst.

Monsanto Modifying Eligibility Requirements for 2005 Roundup Rewards Program

Friday, March 25, 2005 By Shawn Wade Monsanto Company officials have announced a change

in the eligibility requirements for the 2005 Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma Roundup Rewards Program after consultations with Lubbock, Texas-based Plains Cotton Growers, Inc. (PCG).

As a result of PCG's input Monsanto has made the following change for the 2005 growing season: Roundup Original Max(tm), in addition to Roundup WeatherMax(r), will now qualify a farmer for Monsanto's $17.00 per cotton Beed bag Trait Replant Relief Program. This change does not eliminate any other qualifications required for partici­pation in the Monsanto Roundup Rewards(r) Program.

High Plains cotton producers will appreciate Monsanto's efforts to listen and respond to their concerns, says PCG Executive Vice President Steve Verett. Providing growers the full benefit provided by the Roundup Rewards(r) Trait Replant Relief Program, and the latitude to select the most economical and appropriate Monsanto Roun!1up-brand her­bicide for their farming situation, is a significant help to growers concerned about the potential increase in Roundup Ready(r) system costs going into the 2005 season.

This change allows growers to maintain an essentially flat Roundup Ready system cost during the 2005 growing season without the loss of the important value-added ben­efits that come , 'ith use of Monsanto-branded products, concluded Verett.

Prior to this announcement, eligibility requirements for the Trait Replant Relief Program specified at least one qualifying treatment to be Roundup WeatherMax(r). Oth­erwise, the farmer would have only been eligible for the technology fee rebate portion of the program in a replant situation.

The Monsanto decision follows a series of meetings involving members of the PCG Executive Committee, Offic­ers and Staff who have been discussing producer reactions to the technology providers 2005 pricing and value-added programs.

One of the main messages communicated to Monsanto was the importance of the company responding to producer concerns about the increase in technology pricing for 2005. As a part of that response, PCG encouraged Monsanto to continue to point out the corresponding decreases in Roundup herbicide prices, and that the company go further and consider modifications to their 2005 Roundup Rewards(r) Trait Replant Relief Program.

Monsanto was also encouraged to continue efforts to communicate to growers how the company's 2005 technol­ogy and herbicide price changes were intended to achieve its stated goal of keeping the cost of the Monsanto's Roundup technology package even with 2004 cost levels.

Monsanto officials note that when evaluating the 2005 cost of the Roundup Ready technology system, producers need to keep in mind the in teraction between 2005 Roundup Ready technology fees and 2005 prices for Roundup-brand herbicides.

The price of Roundup Original Max(tm) was lowered in 2005 as part of the company's efforts to balance its pricing structure between the technology and herbicide product lines.

One Monsanto Program that growers can access through the use of WeatherMax(r) is the company's seed drop exception or Cap-Cost progra m. This program puts a ceiling on Roundup Ready tectinology costs for growers that utilize WeatherMax(r) in their Roundup technology program and whose average seeding rate exceeds 56,000-58,000 seed per planted acre. The vast majority of High Plains cotton acreage is planted at seeding rates below this level, al­though some growers could lower their Roundup technology cost through the program.

Monsanto officials remind growers that additional, prod­uct-specific guarantees, in addition to qualifying for the Cap-Cost program, are also part of the WeatherMax(r) product package. They add that growers should contact their local authorized Monsanto retailer or Monsanto sales representative to determine which product provides the best fit for their operation.

South Plains:

Soil moisture is adequate. Cool nights with warm days reported. Field preparation continues with herbicide and

Notable ~uote:

A government is the only known vessel that leaks from the top

How much will

it cost? I heard a farmer say the

other day that he spent more on seed for 1 circle of cotton, than he did his entire first year offarming. It's hard to believe that the inputs it takes to pro­duce a crop continue to rise. With rumors that cotton seed are in short supply and that farm fuel may reach $2 per gallon, where does it end?

The men and women in Washingt~n need to realize that the American rarmercan't survive much longer at the rate they are going.

I also hope that the average consumer realizes that with­out farmers and ranchers, the price they pay for food, cloth­ing and other goods that they buy every day will continue to rise as well.

The trend today is toward less government subsidies and more dependency on foreign commodities. If that trend con­tinues, small towns like Aber­nathy may continue to lose business and population as time goes by.

To reverse this trend, com­modity prices need to rise to a more profitable level without increasing the price of the end product by a drastic amount.

America needs to try to take care of America, instead of worrying so much about how to improve trade relations with our neighbors. That way our grandchildren won't have to say, "It took more money this year than it did last year."

The facility will emit the following air contaminants: organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and particulate matter.

This application was submitted to the TCEQ on January 20, 2005.
