Hay sales program helps
drought-stricken ranchers
United Press International
AUSTIN — Standing before
a fully loaded tractor-trailer rig,
Agriculture Commissioner Jim
Hightower Wednesday kicked
off a farmer-to-rancher hay
sales program he said would
ease the plight of drought-
stricken West Texas cattlemen.
Under the program, the
Texas Department of Agricul
ture will serve as middleman be
tween cattlemen who need feed
for their stock and East and Cen
tral Texas hay farmers, some of
whom have no market for late
cuttings of their hay.
According to Hightower, cat
tlemen buying hay to use as win
ter feed for breeding stock can
save a minimum of 15 percent
through the direct-marketing
program, dubbed “Operation
DIAL-HAY” by the Agriculture
Department.
However, a final sale price
will be up to the respective buyer
and seller, he said.
“The state’s role in all of this is
merely to serve as the telephone
operator,” Hightower said.
Hightower’s 440-bale load
backdrop was purchased by Edd
Hughs, a McCamey rancher,
from Hillsboro farmer Jerry
Bailey.
