Senator Seliger fought for Senate District 31 in the 85th Legislative Session

AUSTIN--Yes te rday wrapped up the 85th Regular Session of the Texas Legislature. Throughout the 140 days, Senator Kel Seliger fought for the priorities of his constituents in Senate District 31.

As Chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee, Senator Seliger secured an additional $1.07 million in funding for the University of Texas of the Permian Basin College of Engineering, which will be used to expand the chemical and electrical engineering programs. Additionally, $4.2 million is provided to UTPB as a hold harmless, to ensure the school does not lose more than 10 percent of its state funding. Senator Seliger also succeeded in securing $4.17 million for Texas Tech University’s future Veterinary Medical School.

Seliger authored Senate

Bill 463, a bill that extends the option of Individual Graduation Committees for students who passed all of their courses, but failed to pass up to two state-mandated tests. Jointly with Representative Tom Craddick, Seliger passed House Bill 101 to ensure the validity of the public-private partnership between Pioneer Natural Resources and the City of Midland to update the city’s wastewater treatment plant. Other notable legislation impacting Senate District 31 includes authorizing Ector County to regulate game rooms outside the city jurisdiction, providing both County Courts in Potter county jurisdiction over family law matters, naming Big Spring the Lighted Poinsettia Capitol of Texas and a resolution celebrating the Texas Cattle Feeders Association’s 50th

Anniversary.Chairman Seliger also

authored several pieces of legislation that honor the lives of two exceptional individuals in Senate District 31. House Bill 1483 designates Highway 191 as the Chris Kyle Memorial Highway in Odessa and Senate Bill 867 designates Highway 287 in Claude as the Charles Goodnight Memorial Highway.

During the 85th Legislative Session, Seliger and Representative John Smithee championed House Bill 1463 that helps reduce frivolous law suits and aggressive shake-down tactics relating to the Americans with Disabilities Act that harm small business in Texas. Together Smithee and Seliger also passed Senate Bill 654 which will help improve access to health care in rural and medically

underserved parts of Texas. Overall, the final state

budget for the next biennium reduces spending by $200 million compared to the current biennium, is well under population growth times inflation and ensures that the state meets the needs of all Texans. It appropriates $500 million for Child Protective Services to enable the agency to hire 600 new caseworkers to better protect neglected and abused children, as well as $300 million from the Economic Stabilization Fund to begin the overhaul of the state hospital system. It also includes $350 million to ensure continued health care for retired teachers.

Senator Seliger serves on the Senate Finance, Education, and Natural Resources & Economic Development Committees, and chairs the Higher Education Committee.

Hay storage options, forage management discussed at O.D. Butler Forage Field Day

FRANKLIN – Producing hay requires both time and expense, but it can lead to unwanted waste if bales are left sitting in the field, according to experts.

To preserve nutritive value and money, there are options that can be implemented to manage unwanted waste, said Dr. Larry Redmon, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service state forage specialist, College Station.

Redmon shared several options with producers at the recent O.D. Butler Forage Field Day held at the Circle X Land and Cattle Co. Camp Cooley Division in Robertson County.

“A barn can pay for itself in four to six years, according to studies done by our Extension economists,” Redmon said. “Many think they can store hay outside, but when hay costs as much as $120 a ton to produce, can we afford to give up some of that expense? Many of us can’t.”

During the demonstration, Redmon peeled back several layers of hay from a bale that

had been sitting outside for over a year.

“The good hay is in the center,” Redmon said. “A cow knows where the good hay is.”

As a result, a lot of undesirable hay will be pulled away by the cow from the bale and left on the ground. Redmon explained a producer can go through the proper steps to produce good quality hay but still have losses due to improper storage.

“Once you’ve got a good soil test, you apply the fertilizer to the soil test recommendations. Then you cut it, bale it and you do everything right except you leave the hay out in the field. You’ve lost one-third to one-quarter of your hay.”

Redmon said some producers might not have the budget to pay for a barn.

“A barn will pay for itself because you don’t lose all that hay, but some of us can’t afford a good barn,” he said. “However, we can use hay tarps. You can get a hay tarp to fit on your pyramid stack. It’s important to stack in a pyramid to form air channels. It moves the air and keeps those bales dry. A barn also doesn’t have to

have a concrete floor. Just good slope and sandy soil is all that is required.”

Also at the field day, James Jackson, AgriLife Extension specialist in Stephenville, discussed herbicide options for controlling both broadleaf weeds, ryegrass and sandburs in hay fields. He discussed several herbicides, including Esplanade, which has the active ingredient Indaziflam. It is still in the testing and development phase and is not yet commercially available for range and pasture use.

“For our ryegrass control demonstration, we sprayed ryegrass at five different treatments,” he said. “These demonstrations were established on Oct. 27, which was 204 days prior to the field day.”

Some producers appreciate the ryegrass that comes up volunteer for the grazing benefits it offers, Jackson said. Others consider it a weed that can hinder hay production. He said the point of his demonstration was to show producers what tools could potentially be available for future forage production.

“If a producer decided to spray for ryegrass, you can have a cleaner first cutting of hay and potentially a higher

yield,” he said.However, if a producer

decided to spray the ryegrass, they would miss the grazing benefits that if offers to livestock, Jackson said.

For sandbur control, the demonstrations included Esplanade, Esplanade plus Pastora, Esplanade and Cimarron Plus, and Prowl H20. Each of the six treatment plots used varying rates of mix, giving producers several ideas of how they might apply them to their own rangeland.

“Overall, we want to show producers several options and what may be available in the future to choose from in managing their forage production,” Jackson said.

The Dalhart Softball Association started their season on Thursday June 1 with three games and then played four more games on June 2. All the games were played at the McLeod Softball Complex on Highway 54.

There are a total of 12 men’s teams in the league, so each team played at least one game during the first two nights. The first game on Thursday was Bad Boyz against the Outlaws. This would prove to be the closest game of the first two nights, as the Bad Boyz won by a score of 6-5.

The other two games on Thursday were not that close. In the second game, the Roadrunners beat Bad Habit by a score of 14-4. In the final game on Thursday, Balls Deep took on Sandlot and won by a score of 17-1.

The first game on Friday was between Havok and The Mixx. Havok won that game by a final of 15-7. The second game was Misfits versus Vidanueva. Misfits won that game by a score of 14-8.

The third game on Friday was between New Life and Young Gunz. This was another close game, and Young Gunz was able to pull it out by a final of 13-10. The final game was between Bad Habit and Bad Boyz. This was the second game in two nights for both teams. Bad Boyz won that game by a score of 18-3.

The men’s league will be playing games Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday throughout June. There is also a coed league which will start games tomorrow and will play every Wednesday in June.

The current standings for the men’s league are below. The coach’s name is listed beside each team. These standing are

Japanese food may seem like a cuisine that can only be enjoyed in Japanese restaurants, but home cooks willing to take a chance and try something new can enjoy this popular take on food in the comfort of their own kitchens. “Hayashi Raisu (Beef and Onions in Tomato Gravy Over Rice)” is commonly eaten at home in Japan, so it naturally makes a great dish for home cooks to try. The following recipe is courtesy of Amy Kaneko’s “Let’s Cook Japanese Food!” (Chronicle Books).

Hayashi RaisuBeef and Onions in Tomato Gravy Over RiceServes 4

3/4 pound beef rib eye, very thinly sliced (almost shaved; for ease, freeze for 1 hour before slicing)

1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon ground

pepper1 teaspoon plus 1

tablespoon sugar3 tablespoons unsalted

butter11/2 y e l l o w

onions, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

1/2 cup sliced fresh white mushrooms

21/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup dry red wine3/4 cup tomato purée3 t a b l e s p o o n s

Worcestershire sauce1 chicken or beef

bouillon cube or 1/2 teaspoon granulated chicken stock base

Place the beef in a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Using your hands, massage the seasonings evenly into the beef. Set aside.

In a large frying pan or wok, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter is foaming, add the onions and cook, stirring often, until translucent and soft but not browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the onions to a Dutch oven or other heavy pot.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the frying pan and return to medium-high heat. When the butter is foaming, add the meat and cook briefly, stirring constantly to prevent the pieces from sticking together. Add the mushrooms and, when the beef is almost cooked, after about 3 minutes, sprinkle in the flour and mix well. Add the wine, again stir well to combine with the beef and mushrooms, and then transfer to the pot holding the onions.

Place the pot over medium-high heat and heat until the mixture bubbles. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the tomato purée, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, the Worcestershire sauce, and the bouillon cube and mix well. Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes to blend the flavors.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, then serve hot.

USDA seeks applications for Community Development GrantsTEMPLE, TEXAS,

May 31, 2017 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is inviting applications for grants to support economic development in rural communities.

USDA is making grants available under the Rural Community Development Initiative (RCDI) program to strengthen the rural

economy. Qualified intermediary organizations receiving RCDI grants will provide technical assistance and training to help nonprofit organizations and communities develop their capacity to undertake housing, community facilities or economic development projects. Applicants must have capacity-building experience for these types

of projects and must provide matching funds at least equal to the RCDI grant. Grants range from $50,000 to $250,000.

“Rural Development is pleased to offer funding through the RCDI program,” said Acting State Director Daniel Torres, “This funding provides rural community leaders with the necessary tools to carry out housing,

community facility and community and economic development projects.”

Eligible recipients are nonprofit organizations, low-income rural communities or federally recognized tribes. RCDI grants are not provided directly to businesses or individuals.

Examples of eligible projects include homeownership education,

minority business entrepreneurship, strategic community planning or assistance to access alternative funding sources.

For more information on how to apply, see page 24281 of the May 26, 2017, Federal Register. The deadline to submit paper applications is July 25, 2017.

USDA Rural Development provides loans

and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; homeownership; community services such as schools, public safety and health care; and high-speed internet access in rural areas. For more information, visit www.rd.usda.gov.

USDA awards loans to build and expand rural electric infrastructureTEMPLE, TEXAS,

May 31, 2017 – Acting Deputy Undersecretary for Rural Development Roger Glendenning announced that USDA is providing more than a quarter billion dollars in loans for rural electric infrastructure improvements.

“These loans will help improve the delivery of reliable electricity, and will help ensure that rural areas

nationwide can prosper economically and benefit from today’s technologies to meet tomorrow’s needs,” Glendenning said.

The loans are being provided through the Electric Program of the Rural Utilities Service. They will support the construction or improvement of 1,369 miles of transmission and distribution line. They include $22.4 million for

smart grid technologies to increase system efficiency and reliability. Smart Grid increases the reliability of electric power by helping utilities better manage power needs and supply, and improve operational efficiencies. It includes metering, substation automation, computer applications, two-way communications, geospatial information systems and other

improvements.“USDA Rural

Development is pleased to offer funding through the Electric Program,” said Daniel Torres, USDA Rural Development Acting State Director. “By providing these loans, we promote sustainable economic development and enhance the quality of life in rural communities and regions with exceptional needs.”

The Electric Program is the successor to the Rural Electrification Administration. It makes loans and loan guarantees to nonprofit and cooperative associations, public bodies and other utilities to help finance the construction of electric distribution and generation facilities in rural areas.

USDA Rural Development provides loans

and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; homeownership; community services such as schools, public safety and health care; and high-speed internet access in rural areas.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension: How science projects led to a career

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Kevin Cox wanted to be a medical doctor from the time he was about five years old. He had a passion for helping people, and he especially wanted to help other kids.

So he got serious about science in grade school — so serious that he made really good grades on his science projects.

“I figured I could help children best by becoming a pediatrician so that was my career goal since second or third grade,” he recalled.

In college, Cox majored in biology, thinking it would land him a spot in medical school. The introductory biology class provided his first introduction to plants. He wasn’t from a farm and had never really thought about plants.

That experience proved life-changing. He landed a job as an undergraduate student working at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis, Missouri, which further fueled his interest in plants.

Cox followed his instincts toward becoming a doctor of plants rather than people.

“Kevin has grasped every opportunity to excel

in my laboratory and department,” said Dr. Libo Shan, associate professor of plant pathologist who oversees Cox’s graduate program at Texas A&M University in College Station. “He surprised me with his dedication and passion for the projects I asked him to try. He will have a bright future in academics.”

Cox still has more than a year to go in graduate school, but he’s already a lead author on a peer-reviewed journal article about a major discovery regarding bacterial blight in cotton.

“I’ve learned how to take lead in a project, how to communicate with my collaborators, how to draft the paper, how to organize the data and experimental techniques — everything you ask for in a doctoral program,” Cox said. “This project helped elevate my abilities and my skills.” And, he said, it all still relates to his passion for helping others.

“The long-term goal is to become a university professor, teaching and running my own research lab at a university, studying plants and how they defend themselves against pathogens or even drought or any type of stress, because that all affects crop yields,” he said.

“And the crazy thing about it is I’m still helping kids, still helping adults. The world population is growing. As that happens, there is a bigger demand for food, which means

prices are going to come up. Prices will go even higher if crops die. So if I can find a way to stop the crops from dying due to stresses, then I will be able to help people afford food

at a lower price.”Cox’s message to kids

in science classes now is “go with your passion and let them guide you to your career, because if you follow your passion, nine

times out of 10 it’s not going to steer you wrong. Mine led me to a slightly different career, but I still have a passion for science like I have had since I was a little kid.”

USDA seeks applications for grants to support the development of rural community facilitiesTEMPLE, TEXAS,

May 31, 2017 – Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue announced that USDA is seeking applications for technical assistance and training grants in the Community Facilities program.

“Too often, rural community organizations lack the technical expertise they need to access federal dollars,” Perdue said. “These technical assistance and training grants will help rural organizations overcome

hurdles that prevent them from fully utilizing the Community Facilities Program. Increased access to federal funding will help build essential community facilities, and will allow rural areas to thrive.”

The grants are being provided through the Community Facilities Technical Assistance and Training Grant Program. Congress authorized this new program in the 2014 Farm Bill to help rural communities develop their

applications for Community Facilities loans and grants.

“The Technical Asisstance and Training Grant Program is a vital funding source available to rural organizations,” said Acting State Director, Daniel Torres. “This funding assists communities in identifying and planning for community facility needs in their area.”

Communities can use the grants to hire specialized personnel, pay for feasibility studies, retain consultants to prepare financial assistance

applications and identify and plan for long-term community facilities needs.

Providing technical assistance will help more rural communities qualify for loans and grants. Many often lack access to specialized personnel who complete financial and environmental analyses, for example. These analyses often must be included in applications for USDA loans and grants.

Public bodies, non-profit organizations and

Federally-recognized Tribes are eligible to apply for this funding. The maximum grant is $150,000.

Interested applicants may find more information about this program on page 23525 of the May 23, 2017, Federal Register.

Community Facilities programs help underserved rural communities develop essential community services, which in turn helps attract investments, create and retain jobs and businesses, and retain

residents.USDA Rural
