Governor Abbott Highlights Port of Brownsville as a Key Component of Texas’ Booming Energy Industry issues, and port industry. “The Port of Brownsville is a critical asset in the Rio Grande Valley’s economy supporting diverse industries across Texas and Mexico with unrivaled access and logistics capabilities,” said Chairman Lopez. “We remain open for business, supporting more than 51,000 jobs statewide while contributing $3 billion in annual economic activity to the state’s economy.” Key to the discussion was the Port of Brownsville’s strategic position to become the center of American energy independence through liquified natural gas (LNG) facilities. The port is the site of two proposed LNG projects, Texas LNG and Rio Grande LNG. Both projects are in the final investment decision stage. The Port of Brownsville recorded a banner year in 2021 with a recordbreaking 13.8 million tons of commodities moved through the port docks while operating revenues surpassed the $30 million mark for the second consecutive year at $34

BROWNSVILLE, Texas – April, 5, 2022 – Texas Governor Greg Abbott highlighted the Port of Brownsville as a key component of Texas’ booming energy industry and as a critical asset to the Lone Star State’s economic success during an economic roundtable discussion with industry leaders and key stakeholders held at the port Wednesday, March 30. “Ports are the gateway to the might of the Texas economy and the Port
of Brownsville is vital infrastructure for our booming energy industry,” said Governor Abbott. “The Port of Brownsville is rapidly growing the economy of the Rio Grande Valley and bringing new opportunities to South Texans, and I look forward to continuing our state’s partnership with members of the port sector to unleash the full potential of all that the Port of Brownsville has to offer.” As longshoremen unloaded steel slabs from
a vessel docked in the background, Governor Abbott was joined by Brownsville Navigation District Chairman Sergio Tito Lopez, Vice Chairman Ralph Cowen, Board Secretary Esteban Guerra, Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño Jr., County Commissioner Sofia Benavidez, and Texas A&M Regent Mike Hernandez, as well as key port industry stakeholders. The round table discussion was focused on the state’s economy, supply chain
million. Petroleum-based commodities represented nearly 50 percent of the total cargo moved in 2021 with 6.3 million tons while the ever-growing steel sector at the port registered a record of 4.3 million tons of steel products moved. The port moves more steel into Mexico than any other domestic competitor and is a major transshipment center for liquid products like premium gasoline, low sulfur diesel, jet fuels and lubricants destined to markets in South Texas and Northern Mexico. Additionally, the port’s Foreign Trade Zone No. 62 plays a vital role supporting a wide range of industries throughout North America. FTZ No. 62 ranks third out of 193 FTZs in the nation for the value of exports reporting more than $4 billion in exported goods in 2020, according to the U.S. Foreign Trade Zones Board’s Annual Report to Congress. The port’s FTZ ranks 21st nationally for the value of imports totaling more than $3 billion.

TSC HVAC program introduces retiree to his second career
BROWNSVILLE, Texas (April 5, 2022) - Retired and ready for a fresh start, Omar Aguirre will be earning an associate degree in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) in December to begin his second career. For 18 years, the 46-year-old was an insurance broker and business owner in his hometown of Las Vegas, working more than 16 hours a day. “It was time for a change,” he said. “I wanted out of an office. I had the desire to do something different, work with my hands. That led to a big life
decision and shift.” Aguirre ended up selling his business and retiring from insurance, returning to his wife’s hometown of Brownsville in search of something new. “I have many friends who work in the trades, and they are all doing very well, so I thought why not me,” said Aguirre. “I did my research, found the indemand fields and picked the one that piqued my interest the most – HVAC.” He added that his deciding factor in choosing HVAC is the security and stability it offers. “HVAC is needed and always will be needed, meaning technicians will
always be in demand,” said Aguirre. A different type of learning for a man who holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration, HVAC has proved to be a new experience for Aguirre, one that he is wholeheartedly enjoying. “The hands-on learning has shaped my entire experience,” he said. “For someone new to the field, I feel prepared, and I know what to expect when I graduate.” In addition, Aguirre said his instructors have played a huge role in his newfound confidence and it’s their professional experience and willingness
to share knowledge that has been worthwhile. After graduating, Aguirre will need to work at least two years in the field before becoming a licensed HVAC technician, and he plans on using these two years to gain as much experience as possible because he has big plans for his new career. “I plan on opening another business, this time in HVAC. TSC made it easy for me to begin this next chapter,” said Aguirre. “I want to serve the Rio Grande Valley with its residential and commercial HVAC needs and introduce new HVAC technologies.”

BROWNSVILLE & HARLINGEN – Blooming flowers, budding trees, and blustery winds are often the hallmarks of springtime in the Rio Grande Valley. But for many local residents, springtime means allergy season and all the annoying signs and symptoms that accompany nature’s beauty. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), more than 50 million Americans suffer a variety of allergies each year, with allergies coming in as the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in the United States. During the spring,
pollen generated by grasses, weeds, and other plants travels by wind and ultimately find their way into the eyes, noses, and lungs of local residents. For individuals who are allergic to these pollens, that exposure means the telltale symptoms, said Dr. John Austin, an ear, nose, and throat specialist with Valley Baptist Health System. “Common signs of allergies include runny nose, sniffles, sneezing, runny itchy eyes, and congestion in the ears,” he said. The signs and symptoms of allergies can often mimic those of a viral or
bacterial infection, albeit with a few differences, said Dr. John Austin, an ear, nose, and throat specialist with Valley Baptist Health System. “Typically, the initial discharge with allergies is not discolored, and allergies are infrequently associated with a temperature or fever,” he said. “Initially, allergies are not associated with a cough, and it’s uncommon to sneeze with a viral illness.” There is some good news for allergy sufferers, however. Allergy season typically does not last long, as mild spring temperatures quickly make
way for the sweltering heat of summer. The rising temperatures usually put the Valley’s blooming plants into survival mode, reducing the amount of pollen in the air. Austin also said that readily-available, over the counter medications normally do the trick and offer rapid relief for most allergy sufferers. “The best initial treatment includes an oral non-sedating antihistamine over the counter medication, such as Zyrtec, Allegra, or Claritin. A topical decongestant combined with a saline nasal rinse can be effective in
cleansing and moisturizing the nose. A mucolytic like guaifenesin will help thin the nasal mucus,” he said. “If there is pain associated with sinus pressure caused by allergies, over the counter pain medicine can be used. There are also specific over the counter antihistamine products that can be used for the nose, like Nasalcrom, and for the eyes, like Opticrom.” While pollen allergies rarely cause serious medical issues, there are times where a trip to the doctor may be necessary, especially if something more severe has been mistaken for allergies.
Registration for summer and fall 2022 begins April 1.
Omar Aguirre is a retired insurance broker and owner from Las Vegas, Nevada, who has found his second career in HVAC at TSC. He expects to graduate in December of this year.
Allergy Season Hits Rio Grande Valley
Another option that can only be offered by a medical provider is a short course of steroids, either orally or by injection, Austin said. “If a patient develops productive cough, significant facial or ear pain, a temperature, or discolored mucus, they should consider a trip to a doctor,” he said. “If they experience shortness of breath or continued elevated temperature, a trip to an urgent care facility may be required, where additional tests such as a chest X-ray and a blood test may reveal other health issues."

Getting the Most from your Strawberry Plants

(Texas A&M AgriLife photo by Russ Wallace) Written by Kay Ledbetter Strawberries are a highinput but high-value crop, and local growers can sell everything they grow at very good prices. However, grower management practices can make a difference in the bottom line. To ensure growers can provide best management, a project led by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is in its second year of evaluating various managing practices. These include planting dates, use of shade cloth to extend the season and reduce plant heat stress, fertilizer rates, irrigation levels for nitrogen leaching in soil, plant spacing and herbicides for weed control. “Consumers want locally grown strawberries,” said Russ Wallace, Ph.D., an AgriLife Extension horticulturist in Lubbock and professor in Texas A&M’s Department of Horticultural Sciences. “However, growers should learn optimal strawberry production methods before spending their money.” Wallace leads the
research project to conduct collaborative statewide trials at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Lubbock, Prairie View A&M University and a grower’s farm in Atascosa County. The project is funded by a grant sponsored from a 2020 Texas Department of Agriculture Specialty Crops Block Grant Program. Poteet, in Atascosa County, has the highest concentration of strawberry growers in Texas, and the Poteet Strawberry Growers Association and the Poteet Rotary Club helped purchase plants for the trials each year. “Our main goal is to provide research-backed information and training for those wanting to grow strawberries on the High Plains, as well as throughout the state,” Wallace said. “We encourage growers to discuss potential strawberry production with experts at AgriLife Extension prior to growing berries.” Other members of the team include Thayne Montague, Ph.D., associate professor, who is jointly appointed to Texas A&M
AgriLife Research and the Texas Tech University Department of Plant and Soil Sciences; Peter Ampim, Ph.D., research scientist, Prairie View A&M University, Prairie View; Larry Stein, Ph.D., associate department head and AgriLife Extension leader for the Department of Horticulture Sciences, Uvalde; Dale Rankin, AgriLife Extension agent, Atascosa County; Laura Miller, AgriLife Extension horticulture agent, Tarrant County; and Janet Laminack, AgriLife Extension horticulture agent, Denton County. Wallace said all trials are being repeated this growing season. More information about the trials and results will be shared at the Strawberry Field Day at 6 p.m. May 4 at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center for Lubbock, 1102 E. Drew St. Those who would like to attend should RSVP to Dena Graves at dgraves@ag.tamu. edu by April 29.
Strawberry trial results Wallace said the team is in its second year of research, and the project will be finished by August. “We currently have six trials, including evaluations of planting dates, using shade cloth to extend the season and reduce plant heat stress, evaluations of varieties across four fertilizer rates, evaluating irrigation levels for nitrogen leaching in soil, plant spacing, and evaluating herbicides for weed control,” he said. Planting dates In Texas, strawberries should be planted in the fall as soon as plants arrive in early to midOctober, Wallace said. However, sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances, growers may not be ready to plant at that time. Therefore, planting may be delayed for up to four weeks. To investigate the effects of different planting dates, the team is evaluating four varieties — Albion, Camino Real, Fronteras and Merced — on their yield potential when planted during mid-October and then at two-week intervals through mid-November. Previous experience has shown planting later than midNovember may result in no yields the following spring. “Our results indicate that delaying planting by two or four weeks can significantly
reduce yields in the spring,” Wallace said. “The varieties evaluated in Lubbock lost an average 1.7% berry yield per day if planted as late as midNovember. This may not sound like much, but when evaluated economically, delaying planting up to four weeks could reduce profits by $550 per acre per day. Growers should have fields ready to plant as soon as their crop arrives.”
Shade Strawberries are a cool-season crop. They are fall-planted to allow colder temperatures to increase bud and crown formation to enhance flowering and berry production in the spring, Montague said. Excessive heat during May through July can reduce flowering. Trials were evaluated at Poteet and Lubbock with two levels of shade cloth — 30% and 50% shade plus a full sun treatment. Plants were covered with the shade cloth treatments for the entire season from November to June, or only in the spring from April through June. Montague said their first year of trials generally showed covering strawberries with shade cloth reduced air and soil temperatures. “Our early shaded yields were lower initially compared to those in the full sun,” he said. “However, by the final harvest, strawberries covered with 50% shade cloth had a longer harvest season, improved berry quality and higher yields. While shade cloth improved berry yields, we know shade cloth may be expensive. However, shade cloth may be used for multiple seasons if properly cared for.”
Fertilization rate comparison by variety Strawberries, in general, are heavy feeders of nitrogen and require certain micronutrients for optimal growth. Strawberries grow best on soils with a pH below 7, Wallace said. “However, on the High Plains, our soil pH is often much higher,” he said. “We’ve been successful by adding high-acid fertilizer formulations to our strawberry beds, which reduce soil pH during the crop season.” He said they generally recommend about 1 pound of nitrogen per acre per day during the season. But in the trials, the team is evaluating four different rates of nitrogen plus micronutrients — 0 pounds per acre up to 120 pounds of nitrogen per acre — on four strawberry varieties. “Our results indicate the yield of one variety decreased with higher nitrogen rates, while two varieties increased yields, and one variety had no response,” Wallace said. “These results indicate it would be wise for strawberry growers to fertilize varieties according to their needs and not just fertilize all varieties equally. We hope to evaluate more varieties in the future.”
Irrigation and plant spacing In the past, Wallace said they had supposed strawberries required high amounts of water. Strawberries are irrigated using surface drip placed just below the plastic mulch on which they are grown. The plastic mulch increases soil temperatures to improve crop growth, reduces weed pressure and, perhaps more importantly, reduces soil
water evaporation. With concerns for reduced groundwater availability, he said they evaluated four levels — 100%, 80%, 60% and 40% — of irrigation on strawberries planted at three different spacings. “While plant spacing was not a factor, we did observe plants grew larger and had 32% higher yields at the 40% and 60% irrigation levels compared to the 100% treatment,” Wallace said. “From our soil analyses, we observed total nitrogen levels in the soil were 16% higher at the two lower levels compared to the 100% treatment.” He said these results indicate while strawberries require a high amount of nitrogen, using higher irrigation rates potentially leaches nitrogen from the soil, thereby decreasing plant growth and yield. Weed control Strawberry growers on the High Plains, in Atascosa County and elsewhere across the state have relied on costly hand weeding for decades. In fact, Wallace said, few growers use herbicides in their strawberry fields. Handweeding costs can be as high as $1,500 per acre for the season. “We evaluated several herbicides and observed pre-emergent applications of Spartan 4F (sulfentrazone) can provide control of weeds for three to four months after planting,” he said. “Excellent grass control is also achieved with postemergence applications of Select Max (clethodim). These two herbicides can significantly reduce weed populations and decrease the time and money growers and employees spend hand weeding fields.”
