To graze or not to graze: Johnsongrass considerations

To graze or not to graze: Johnsongrass considerations

Contrary to what some people believe, it is surprisingly common for folks to graze cattle and other livestock on Johnsongrass. To many this productive plant provides high quality “free” forage. But of course, there is always the risk of prussic acid (or cyanide, HCN) poisoning. There are many ranchers here in DeWitt County that graze cattle on Johnsongrass each year. Most understand the dangers of prussic acid once we get into the hot dry summer months, and in the fall when first frost occurs. I do occasionally get reports of ranchers losing a few head of cattle to prussic acid poisoning. I also get many phone calls each year with questions related to grazing Johnsongrass and the potential for prussic acid. 10/30/2024 06:21 AM

Lady in the Clock haunts Courthouse elevator

On some moonlit nights with wispy clouds drifting by, there have been sightings of a woman in a hooped skirt standing at the DeWitt County Courthouse Tower Clock. Light softly illuminates her face as she gazes over the rolling hills. 10/30/2024 06:21 AM
