SAVING TEXAS PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING
SENAREO:The drought in Texas has reached epic destructions. A drought is a period of abnormally dry weather that persists long enough to produce a serious hydrologic imbalance. The largest decrease in cow numbers occurred in Texas, which is the top beef cow state, because it suffered several years of drought. In 2013 Texas lost 105,000 beef cows. That, along with a total lose of 1,010,000 cows in the previous two years, means beef cow numbers in Texas fell by more than 1 million head. Beef cow numbers went from 5.03 million in 2011 down to 3.91 million in 2014. http://www.agweek.com/event/article/id/22899/#sthash.2pzlWwOp.dpuf
