Texas Farm Bureau, others assessing winter storm damage

POTH, Texas – As the president of the Texas Farm Bureau, Russell Boening experienced much of what the rest of the state’s agriculture industry endured during last month’s record cold. Boening said he agrees with Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller’s prediction that the financial impact of the winter storm could be a billion dollars, if not more. AdWith the fragrant orange blossoms already on the trees, Murden said next year’s crop is gone. He said it’s been estimated the citrus industry has an economic impact of $468 million. The Texas Farm Bureau has been assessing the winter storm damage, but its spokesman said the figures, when complete, will come from the Texas Department of Agriculture and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.

Two San Antonio-area butcher shops named best in America by Food & Wine magazine

click image Instagram / wiatreksmeatmarketThe flagship location of Wiatrek’s Meat Market in Poth, Texas. Apparently, if you want the best carne, you have to leave the San Antonio city limits.That’s whatthinks, anyway. According to the magazine's list of the best butcher shops in the U.S., Dziuk’s Meat Market in Castroville and Wiatrek’s Meat Market in Poth are among the Texas institutions that ranked on top. "In the part of Texas settled by Alsatian immigrants back in the 1800s, it’s not really a party until someone breaks out the parisa, the local take on beef tartare, typically including cheese, and often chiles, along with a dash of citrus— no surprise then, it's a hot seller at the busiest butcher shop in the area,"wrote of Dziuk’s. Meats, merch, seasonings and sauces also abound in that suburban outpost.

Poth ISD closing in-person instruction after teacher, student test positive for COVID-19

Poth, TEXAS – A month after opening its doors back to in-person instruction, Poth ISD is closing them once again after a high school student and elementary teacher test positive for COVID-19. “This decision to close all campuses has been made in order to protect both students and staff from further exposure risk,” Renken stated in the letter. Last month, all students except medically-exempt students and those with high-risk family members were required to return to the classroom. The closure will go into effect Tuesday, Nov. 17, and will stay in place for the rest of the week. “We hope the planned Thanksgiving week holiday in combination with this closure will help slow the spread of the virus,” Renken stated in the letter.
