TEXAS WEBB-MAVERICK REGIONFOREWORD

11000300

rThe enterprise budgets for the Webb-Mav

erick study area are based on yields as shownon form 11000600. Only one dryland budgetwas developed for the area, that being buff elgrass pasture. According to county agriculturalExtension agents and others in the counties, forall practical purposes dryland acreage of othercrops is zero.

Webb and Maverick counties are characterized, in the cropland areas, by a relatively smallnumber of growers for each of the commercialcrops being grown. Many of the producers havemoved in from other areas and are attemptingto utilize skills acquired in other areas.

Webb County irrigated land tends to berolling land which is terraced. Irrigation wateris generally pumped from the river to permanentditches and then irrigation is by gravity flow.Maverick County irrigated land is partly rollingand partly bottom land. Irrigation water isdelivered to the farm by a series of canals oper

ated and maintained by an irrigation district.Water usage in both counties is high and

rainfall is low and not evenly distributedthroughout the growing season. Dryland farming is risky to the point of being practically nonexistent, with the exception of buffelgrass pastures. Because rainfall timing, amount andutilization are generally poor, it is unlikely thatany significant amount of dryland fanning wouldtake place in the absence of irrigation. Openland would probably be planted in permanentpasture and livestock would most likely displacecrop farming.

Acres of grain sorghum and cotton in bothcounties are very low, both being grown by onlyone or two farmers.

In most cases only one level of managementwas distinguishable due to the small size of thefarming area and to the small number of farmersproducing the crop. In practically all cases cropsare being grown by an owner-operator.
