The Importance of Maintaining Agricultural Markets By Mario Villarino
The importance of maintaining agricultural markets
During my years in agriculture (basically all my life) I have seen agricultural related industries adapting to market changes. During my years in Veterinary School, I held an externship chair in a well-known pharmaceutical medical company with headquarters in Germany. It was a great opportunity and I enjoyed the multi-cultural atmosphere maintained by the company and the team work interaction. This particular company produced most of the basic chemical components that made the most important pharmaceutical products today. The company was so important that it held many international patents; many of those were basic colors! (Many of the antibiotics used today are biological dyes that bind to the outer structures of the bugs they are trying to kill). It was a great experience and I learned a lot. The pharmaceutical market is a very competitive one, and just as I was finishing my externship (that lasted five years) the company was sold to another international pharmaceutical company eventually changing names but maintaining the same structure (these companies I learned later on, never completely disappear but change ownership to remain in business). The change of ownership was a no-brainer and employees got used to this. Maintaining markets in agriculture requires change to stay relevant. This is true for multi-national companies and to small producers. To remain in business the beef industry has to become adapted to market changes. A good example in our county is the cattle industry. We have seen significant changes in the way businesses are conducted, cattle are produced and products are sold. A great example is how beef producers have accomplished the maintaining of specialty cattle sales, generally known as pre-conditioning sales. The preconditioning of cattle is not a new principle, but maintaining a market as NETBIO (North East Texas Beef Improvement Association) preconditioned sales are the corner stone to maintain a locally grown product with consumer demand. It is important for NETBIO to remain connected with beef consumers to maintain market trust and transparency. Today consumers want to purchase good products raised in the best possible way. As new US agricultural partners join the lion share of beef sales, it is critical for local markets to remain honest and genuine. Together with cattle preconditioning sales, NETBIO has taken the role of partnering to promote beef consumption and provide technical training to beef producers with the goal of maintaining a strong beef market. Beef production is a complex industry. Many industries (just as the pharmaceutical industry I referred before) rely on proper use of the products and proper know-how of farmers and ranchers of modern agricultural methods to stay in business. The beef industry is a community-based industry and we are linked to it and with each other, one way or another. Recently, a task committee from NETBIO has taken the responsibility of promoting beef and local community development as it organizes the Hopkins County Beef Day, October 7, 2016. Beef Day is a combined educational, competitive experience for our community. The first event will be the Hopkins County Commissioner’s Court Declaration of Hopkins County Beef Day at the Court House main door (10:00 AM), followed by the cattleman’s classic which is the NETBIO members annual meeting, with a 4 hr (BQA) educational program in animal health (PI-BVD) and low stress handling by Dr. Ron Gill (Texas A&M AgriLife Extension) at the Regional Civic Center Arena. The event will then move to Celebration Plaza in downtown Sulphur Springs where the Ribeye Round Up will be held. More than 35 cooking teams will be cooking-competing to provide the best grilled dinner possible. Musical entertainment will be ongoing with performances by Matt Dunn, Sarah Hobbs, Jack Phillips and Jay Hooker and the Outsiders. The concert is free. Dinner tickets are $25 dollars each and are currently available at local banks and the Hopkins County Extension Office. For more information on this or any other agricultural topic please call The Hopkins County Extension Office at 903-885-3443 or email me at [email protected].

Lady Cats Lose District Opener in Hallville
The Lady Cats’ volleyball team had a tough afternoon as they lost their district opener at Hallsville, 3-0. The Lady Bobcats won the match, 25-21, 25-9 and 25-12. The loss dropped the Lady Cats to 0-1 in district play and 21-8 for the season. The loss also snapped the Lady Cats seven match winning streak. The Lady Cats will attempt to bounce back as they will host Texas High for district game number 2 next Tuesday night in Wildcats Gym at 6:30 p.m.
Wildcats Lose By One at Paris Friday Night
Like a riverboat gambler, Paris Football Coach Steven Hohenberger passed up the chance to kick a tying extra point against the Wildcats and instead went for two. A run was successful and then Paris held on for a 36-35 win over Sulphur Springs at Paris Friday night.
The Wildcats still had 1:33 to mount a comeback after Paris took the lead but Wildcats quarterback Ryan Humphries was sacked at around the Paris 30 yard line as time expired. The drive had been kept alive by Humphries’ completions to Cor’Tavius Pruitt and to Landry Tyson. Paris trailed 28-14 entering the fourth quarter. They scored twice to tie the game. After the Wildcats scored to go back ahead, 35-28, Paris mounted the winning drive, which included the daring two-point conversion.
The loss somewhat negated a fine game by Humphries who threw four touchdown passes. Two went to Simeon Taylor with one apiece to Pruitt and to D.J. Hall. Lawrence Worth got the scoring started for the Wildcats with a four yard TD run, which gave the Wildcats a 7-0 lead on their opening drive.
The heartbreaking loss drops the Wildcats to 1-2 for the season. The Wildcats will host Whitehouse for a Homecoming game next Friday at Gerald Prim Stadium.
Sulphur Springs Public Library Director’s Notebook by Hope Cain
Summer has come to an end here at the Sulphur Springs Public Library and school has begun. I am so proud of all the kids and parents that committed themselves to a summer of reading. Each child who completed the challenge of 5 reading logs completed 8 ½ hours of reading this summer.
We now turn our sights to school, tests, football and raking the leaves. Apples and pumpkin are in season, so now is the time for fall recipes. Why don’t you stop by the library and check out a recipe book for some new ideas? I recommend Melissa’s Southern Cookbook. Or better yet, check out the eBooks from www.sslibrary.org ? I recommend Michael Symon’s 5 in 5.

Bringing History to Life
A HISTORY LESSON
Eratosthenes of Cyrene, the Greek scientific writer, astronomer, and poet, who made the first measurement of the size of Earth for which any details are known, is being portrayed by U.S. History instructor Ken Hanushek in the History 1301 class at the PJC-Sulphur Springs Center. Shining a light on the subject is student Airy Osorio. Hanushek likes to bring his history subjects to life in class. “They are better understood that way,” he said.
Game Day: Wildcats Vs Wildcats; Lady Cats at Hallsville
Two longtime rivals, the Wildcats and Paris, are getting together Friday night at 7:30 p.m. in Paris. Both teams come in with a 1-1 record. Paris lost on week one at Terrell and then they rallied to win in dramatic fashion last week against Pleasant Grove. The Wildcats have a home win over Sherman and a loss to Seminole Ridge, Florida last week at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Stadium at Disney World in Orlando, Florida in the school’s longest road trip ever. The two teams have not played since the 2013 season. The Wildcats won that one 43-9. Wildcats Coach Greg Owens has a 6-2 record against Paris as head coach for his alma mater. Meanwhile a Lamar County native son is the head coach at Paris. Coach Steven Hohenberger, a North Lamar grad, is in his fourth year as coach of Paris. We’ll bring you all the action of the Wildcats and Paris game live on KSST radio. We will also videotape the game for replay on Channel 18 TV on Suddenlink Cable Sunday night at 8 p.m. and Tuesday night at 7 p.m.
It’s also a big game day for the Lady Cats’ volleyball team as they open district play on the road Friday afternoon against one of the district’s best teams, Hallsville. The Lady Cats finished in third place in district play last year due to two district losses each to Longview and Hallsville. Longview left the district and they are in Class 6A. Hallsville remains as a huge district obstacle for the Lady Cats. The Lady Cats are 21-7 this season and they have won seven matches in a row. They’ll play the early 4:30 p.m. game on this football Friday. Lady Cats JV and freshmen teams’ games will follow after the varsity match.
