Agent says one option is to get out
Texas farmers try to survive crisis
Associated Press
PARIS — A county agricultural
extension agent who briefed farmers
and ranchers on the nationwide
plight of the agriculture business
dispensed with talk of surviving the
crisis and offered different advice.
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. The

Aransas Pass shrimpers fight harvesting ban
Associated Press
ARANSAS PASS — Businessmen
in this Gulf Coast town that claims to
be “Shrimp Capital of the World”
are Fighting a harvesting ban in the
midst of an industry-wide decline.
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."
Ewaniszyk said some 10 An rn jng ho
