Last week, the Extension Agronomy program harvested one of their cotton variety trials near El Campo. This trial is known as the Monster, where a large number of varieties from all of the seed companies are tested head-to-head at select locations along the Texas coast. This year marks 18 years of conducting these tests in the Upper Gulf Coast region.

Special thanks to Gregurek Farms and Paul Pilsner for hosting the trial, and to Clinton Livingston, Rudy Alaniz, and Ethan Limon for the hard work at harvest.

Dr. Stacy L. Hines, our District 11 and 12 Extension Rangeland Habitat Management Specialist, joined other Texas A&M AgriLife Extension faculty and staff to receive the agency’s Superior Service Awards during a ceremony on July 16 in the new Texas 4-H Headquarters. The Superior Service Award is the highest recognition given to employees in honor of their exemplary service and programming. Hines led the Texas Triple-P Team that received the Superior Service Award. Extension team members receiving the award include Silverio Avila, Ph.D., rangeland specialist and assistant professor, Alpine; Chase Brooke, small acreage wildlife program specialist, Stephenville; Megan Clayton, Ph.D., range specialist and professor, Uvalde; Jeff Goodwin, Ph.D., director of the Texas A&M Center for Grazinglands and Ranch Management and Texas A&M AgriLife Research assistant professor, Bryan-College Station; Barron Rector, Ph.D., range specialist and associate professor, Bryan-College Station; and Morgan Treadwell, Ph.D., range specialist and professor, San Angelo, all in the Texas A&M Department of Rangeland, Wildlife and Fisheries Management.

Texas Triple P was launched in 2022 following a survey that identified a need for improved educational tools to support plant identification. Hines brought together a multidisciplinary team of AgriLife Extension subject matter experts with statewide expertise in rangeland plants and habitats. Together, they developed region-specific plant identification resources supporting the Texas Master Plant List and piloted multiple workshops that reached 576 participants over two years.
