Tony Douglas of the Texas Agri cultural Extension Service recently told more than 100 Northeast Texas farmers that getting out of the agri culture business was one alternative. “Right now, farmers are in a time of just trying to survive — whether it means staying in or getting out,” said Douglas, Northeast Texas extension director. “It’s not a thing we like to talk about, but our job is to disseminate information,” he said. “We’ve got a job to do.” Texas farmers have chronicled the same problems causing the Mid west farm crisis, including large debts undermined by falling land prices, falling crop prices and rising production costs. “This is not the typical farm meet ing,” said county agent Paul Payne at the seminar called “Management for Survival” at the Lamar County Fairgrounds. “Folks, I’m here to tell you there is life after farming,” said Missouri farm counselor John F. Morehead. “I could share some stories with you of people who fought it all the way, but now they say it’s the bej; they ever did.” “I’ve been involved in agricui jms.

Several Aransas Pass shrimpers recently traveled to Houston to pro test the annual summertime ban on harvesting brown shrimp in U.S. ter ritorial waters off the Texas coast. “The shrimping industry has been in a slump, but we still feel it is a very viable part of our community,” said Rick Ewaniszyk, Aransas Pass city manager. “We can’t give up.” The mid-May to mid-July ban has proved to be the latest in a series of irritants for shrimpers since 1981. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Man agement Council met last week to decide whether to continue the ban in 1986. Port Aransas has been among the cities bearing the brunt of the shrimping industry’s decline. Since 1982, families have moved, boats have been repossessed and busi nesses have closed in the town of roughly 7,200. Sydney Herndon, owner of Gulf King Shimping Company of Aransas Pass, has told the council last week to eliminate the harvesting ban. “Whatever decision you make, Texas industry has got to live with it,” Herndon said. “This council can put an anchor on us, and it has. Your scientists show us these facts and figures and tell us it’s working. As a shrimper, I can tell you it’s not. “Our bankers and accountants, we can’t show them these figures and have them let us stay in business,” Herndon said. “Because we’re not just in the shrimping business, we are also in the ice business and the fuel business and the processing business."
