Myfamily is fromtheHillCountry. If youarefamiliar with the Hill Country, you knowthat in addition to hills, there are also ce-

dars. My grandparents, for some reason, thoughtthat therewasnothingayoungboylovedmorethanchopping cedar. It seemed like every visit I madeendedwithmeeitherchoppingcedarsorgrubbingup baby cedars.

Therewasahugecontroversyyearsback in thatpartof theworld,andthat iswhenIfirstheardof thegolden-cheekedwarbler.Tomanyaround theHillCountry, it’s still less offensiveto flip the bird, than to say thatbird’s name. I never got the spe-cifics, but from what I gathered,that bird and cedar trees wenthand-in-hand. And the bird wasendangered, so therefore, it wasrumored, the government was going to step in andtell people they couldn’t clear cedars anymore.

When I heard that, the golden-cheeked warblerinstantly became my favorite bird.

But, like many pre-Internet rumors, this one

caused a stir then nothing happened. The bird it-self is still endangered, but no black helicoptersswooped in to secure the cedar breaks and confis-cate the axes and grub hoes.

It’s good that there isn’t government-mandatedhabitatmanagement,but thatdoesn’tmean it’snota good idea to implement a system to manage thewildlife on your place. In our cover story we lookat steps you can take to manage wildlife, and evensome incentives available.

Food shortages could be mostcritical world issue by mid-century

WASHINGTON,D.C.—Theworldis less than 40 years away froma food shortage that will haveserious implications for peopleand governments, according toa top scientist at the U.S. Agencyfor International Development.

“For the first time in humanhistory, food production will belimited on a global scale by theavailability of land, water andenergy,” saidFredDavies, seniorscience adviser for the agency’sbureau of food security. “Foodissuescouldbecomeaspoliticallydestabilizing by 2050 as energyissues are today.”

Davies, who also is a TexasA&M AgriLife regents profes-sor of horticultural sciences,addressed the North American

Agricultural Journalists meet-ing in Washington, D.C. on the“monumental challenge of feed-ing the world.”

He said the world populationwill increase 30 percent to 9 bil-lion people by mid-century. Thatwould call for a 70 percent in-crease in food to meet demand.

The land-scapehadchangedovertime.Thecottonwood and salt cedar treesweren’therewhenhisforefathersarrived. “Itwas just tall prairie,”hesaid.AndtheRedRiver,whichrunsaboutaquarter-milenorth,has, at times, snaked closer tothis spot, its flow changing withMother Nature’s whims.

The 60-year-old rancher knewexactly when his truck rolledpast the invisible boundary thatsplitswhat’s stillhis landandthe140 acres the courts tookaway—despite the fact that Hendersonpaid for it.“We’re on BLM land right

now,” Henderson said.It’s been nearly 30 years since

an Oklahoma judge ruled thatthe land belonged to the federalgovernment, to be overseen bytheU.S.Bureauof LandManage-ment. The issue is getting atten-tion now as the bureau decideswhat to do with an area along a116-mile stretch of the Red Riverit says it controls. That area in-cludesan indeterminateamountof land that North Texans longhave considered theirs. Texas of-ficials, includingGov.RickPerryand Attorney General Greg Ab-bott, are speaking out about thecase, with some officials talking

about federal“seizure”of privateproperty and “overreach.”Henderson,whoisnofanof the

bureau, said he’s happywith theattention on the issue. And be-cause of his role in the dispute’slegal history, he has become apoint man for those looking toclear up the confusion.HewantsmoreTexasofficials tofirstgraspthe two centuries of litigationand changing geography rootedin the dispute. He said they needtoknowabout theLouisianaPur-chase, the Adams-Onís Treaty,Buck James, the Langford fam-ily and the huge legal ramifica-tions for the different ways ariver can move. Only with thatunderstanding can officials tryto answer the landowners’ newset of questions.“I think it’s very difficult to

fully understand it,” he said. “Toknowhowwegothere,wekindofgot to knowwhere we’ve been.”The BLM, the federal govern-

officials say they understandlocal residents’ concerns. But,referencing a series of courtopinions, the agency says theland in question belongs neitherto Texas nor Oklahoma, regard-less of who has used it.

The lands “were at no timeheld in private ownership,” saidPaulMcGuire,anagencyspokes-man. He noted that the agencywasnotaparty inanyof thepastlitigation.The comments come in the

“cut banks,” cliffs the water hadcarved. Texas controlled landbelow the south bank. The fed-eral government took control oflandbetweenthemedial lineandthe Texas bank because no onehad ever parceled it out to eitherstate. That’s the sliver the Bu-reau of Land Management nowclaims.Those boundaries were sub-

ject to the river’s avulsion andaccretion— terms that describehow a river’s pathmight changeover time. How a river movesmatters mightily in boundarydisputes. In Texas and U.S. law,avulsion happens when a riversuddenly abandons its channeland creates a new river bend,leaving a peninsula untouchedby the water (Oklahoma’s defi-nition of avulsion is broader; itonlyrequiresasuddenchange inflow.)When avulsion happens, astate’s borderwould stayput, re-gardless of how much the rivermoved. With erosion and accre-tion,ariverchangescoursemoreslowly,graduallysweepingawaythe land in its path, without cre-

ating an entirely new channel.When that happens, the bound-arymoves with the river.In the decades following the

Supreme Court decision, landssouth of the river were sold asparts of Texas, even as the rivershifted north.In the early 1980s,BuckJames

reignitedtheriverfray.TheOkla-homan coveted 900 acres of hisneighbor’s property across thewater. Texas’ Langford familyhadlongassumedithadacquiredthe land when the river hadmoved north through accretion.Oklahoma courts awarded

James the land, ruling that theriver had moved through avul-sion during a 1908 flood, mean-ing that theTexas boundaryhadnot moved toward Oklahoma. Afederal appellate court upheldthe decision. The U.S. SupremeCourt refused to hear the case,and theLangfords never had thechancetopresentevidenceshow-ing that two surveyors testifiedin 1925 that they found “no avul-sive changes” in Clay County oracross the river in Oklahoma.Nor did the Langfords have thechance to argue that the courts

should have used the U.S. defi-nition of avulsion, rather thanOklahoma’s broader one.Around that time, Oklaho-

mans went after a large slice ofthe ranch land Tommy Hender-sonhadbought fromhisaunt for$300,000. That land sat less thana mile from the property Jamessought.Without requiringanewsurvey, anOklahoma judge sim-ply extended the property linesfrom the James opinion, rulingthat 140 acres were public land.The ruling came quickly, and

Henderson, left with fewer than250 acres, had no money to ap-peal. “Iwasbroker thanachurchmouse,” Henderson said. “I hadthechoicebetweenfightingitandfeedingmykids, and I decided tofeedmy kids.”

Wildlife adds value and aes-thetics to property andcan provide enjoyment forfamily and friends. Rev-enue from wildlife can be

derived through ecotourism enterprisessuchashunting,fishing,nature trailsandbird watching.

If indigenouswildlife doesn’t naturallyoccur on a particular piece of property, itoften isdue to lackof habitat.Adefinitionof habitat is an ecological site or environ-mental area that supports a particularspecies of animal, plant or other type oforganism.

GregYarrow,of ClemsonUniversityEx-tension Forestry and Natural Resourcessaid, “Every wildlife species requires ageneral environment in which to live.

Tomanage landproperly for thebenefitof wildlife, landowners must be aware ofthose things in the environment that thespecies need to survive and reproduce.

The environment or natural homewhere a wild animal lives is called itshabitat. Just as humans, wild animalshave specific requirements that they getat home.

Habitat for any wild animal must pro-vide cover (shelter) from weather andpredators, food and water for nourish-ment, and space to obtain food,water andto attract a mate.”

Inordertopromotewildlifeonourprop-erty, we must understand the target ani-mal’s behavior and survival needs. Howdoweobtain thisunderstanding if wearenot trained wildlife biologists?

tatmanagement, contact theTexasParksandWildlifeDepartmentwildlifebiologistin your county,” said Arlene Kalmbach,Landowner Incentive Program coordi-nator with the department. “Locate thebiologist by opening the Texas Parks and

Wildlife Department website at www.tpwd.state.tx.us. On the home page, clickon wildlife in the dark colored bar at thetop of the page. Then click on ‘Find a Bi-ologist’ in the drop-down box.”

“The next screen that you should seeis a map of the eight ecoregions in Tex-as,” Kalmbach said. “It helps to knowthe ecoregion in which your property islocated. If you don’t know, however, youcan find your county by clicking on theecoregions in the general area of yourproperty.

“Onceyourcountyshowsonthescreen,click on it. You will then see a listing ofthe [Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart-ment] personnel that have responsibilityfor your county.

“The wildlife biologist is the first nameon the list with the mailing address andtelephone number.

“If the wildlife biologist position isshown to be vacant, contact the next per-son on the list, who is usually the techni-calguidancebiologist. If thatpersoncan’thelpyou,heorshecandirectyoutosome-one who can be of assistance.”

When a wildlife biologist is contacted,he or she will make an appointment towalkyour landwithyou.Before thebiolo-

gist arrives, however, list your goals thatanswer the following questions:

Target species?Is wildlife conservation being planned

as a revenue generating enterprise orstrictly for the enjoyment of family andfriends?

If revenuegeneration isagoal,howwillit be generated?

How much money do you have avail-able for habitat management? What isyour budget?

Answers to the above questions willaid the biologist in his or her evaluationsand make the initial visit more effective.During this visit, the biologist will helpyouwithanecologicalassessmentof yourland, review your goals and provide youwith information regarding the variousincentive and assistance programs avail-able.

“If you decide that further help fromTexasParksandWildlife isnotnecessary,there are no obligations to continue towork with them. If you want to continue,the wildlife biologist will help develop awildlife management plan. For the Land-owner Incentive Program to work effec-

Financial help“Cost-sharemoney isavailable through

theTexasLandowner IncentiveProgram,which isdesignedtomeet theneedsof pri-vate landowners wishing to enact goodconservation practices on their lands,”Kalmbach said.

“The highest priority for funding is forprojects intheEdwardsPlateauandTransPecos ecoregions that provide direct ben-efitstofederally listedorcandidateanimalor plant species and their habitats. Fund-ing applications for projects that providebenefits to listed or candidate speciesoutside the twomentionedecoregionsarealso rated high priority.

“Proposals showing direct benefit to alisted species may apply for a maximumof 75 percent [Landowner Incentive Pro-gram] cost share for a total of no morethan $40,000.”

line. The answer is because thecompact only set jurisdictionaland political boundaries and hadno impact on property lines.“I think that they don’t truly,

totally understand everythingthat’s happening and what hashappened,” Henderson, who wasappointedtotheTexascommissionthat hashed out the compact, saidafter readingAbbott’s initialnewsrelease on the issue.The bureau has not decided

whether it will close off parts ofthe land or make it open to thepublic. One option would be to letTexans continue using it, thoughthey would then be subject to fed-eral regulations.Another option would be to

sell it. Or Congress could tell theagency to do something else withthe land.Somebutnotallof thoseoptions

would require a bureau survey,said McGuire, the bureau spokes-man, but none is in the works.Patterson, Texas’ land commis-

sioner, said the burden of provingownershipshouldfallupontheBu-reau of Land Management — notTexas landowners.“The BLM cannot just claim

ownership of any Red River landadministratively,” a summary ofthe state agency’s position says.McGuire said the BLM could

take no action on the land, but headded that such a move would beirresponsible.“As much as it’s BLM land,” he

said, “it falls upon us to regulateaction of that land.”Theagencysays the90,000acres

include spots that no one has evermonitored, and some spots arevulnerable to folks burning tires,cookingmeth and littering. In thecoming weeks, the agency willrelease a summary of local com-

ments that will show a diversityof opinion on the bureau plans,he said.“I think that the communities

along the river will come to dis-cover that there’s potential valuethere.”The bureau’s draft plan is due

constrain global food systems,”Davies added. “The increasescurrently projected for cropproduction from biotechnology,genetics, agronomics and horti-culture will not be sufficient tomeet food demand.”Davies said the ability to dis-

cover ways to keep pace withfooddemandhavebeencurtailedby cutbacks in spending on re-search.“TheU.S. agricultural produc-

tivity has averaged less than 1.2percent per year between 1990and 2007,” he said. “More ef-ficient technologies and cropswill need to be developed— and,equally important, better waysfor applying these technologieslocally — for farmers to addressthis challenge.”Davies saidwhennewtechnol-

ed in high-value horticulturalcrops,” he said. “Those createjobs and economic opportuni-ties for rural communities andenable more profitable, intensefarming.”Horticultural crops, Davies

noted, are50percentof the farm-gate value of all crops producedin the U.S.He also made the connection

between the consumption offruitsandvegetablesandchronicdiseasepreventionandpointedtoresearch centers in the U.S. thatare making links between farm-ers, biologists and chemists, gro-cers, health care practitionersandconsumers.Thatconnection,he suggested, alsowill be vital in

the push to grow enough food tofeed people in coming years.“Agricultural productivity,

food security, food safety, the en-vironment,health,nutritionandobesity — they are all intercon-nected,” Davies said.One ineightpeopleworldwide,

he added, already suffers fromchronic undernourishment, and75 percent of the world’s chroni-cally poor are in themid-incomenationssuchasChina, India,Bra-zil and the Philippines.“The perfect storm for horti-

culture and agriculture is alsoan opportunity,” Davies said.“Consumer trends suchasviewson quality, nutrition, productionorigin and safety impact whatfoods we consume. Also, urbanagriculture favorshorticulture.”For example, he said, the fast-

est growing segment of newfarmers inCalifornia,are female,non-Angloswhoare“intensivelygrowing horticultural crops onsmall acreages,” he said.
