About this listen

Brune interviews Texas State Farm Bureau Director Greg Buenger about screwworms. Many Texans don't savvy the damage caused by the possible infestation. Brune's own experience was treating calves and collecting larvae in 1967. It's a daily chore that turns into a career. The mechanisms to battle the scourge was dismantled when the '67 eradication program pushed the flies below Panama. However, Mexico stopped their program and screwworms have been reported within 70 miles of the Rio Grande. The U.S. government has sent U.S. dollars for Mexico to reinstitute their program and facilities, and is building facilities in Texas. The concern is whether the fly sterilization labs are operable before Texas suffers an infestation. It would devastate the cattle industry, as well as, Texas wildlife.
