The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is reshaping global energy markets, with impacts extending far beyond oil.

Energy experts warn that tighter fuel supplies, rising fertilizer costs, and higher transportation expenses could place additional pressure on farmers, consumers, and supply chains worldwide. While the full effects may take time to unfold, the disruption is already influencing prices and forcing governments and industries to prepare for a prolonged period of uncertainty.

Texas Land Price Up 6.5% in 2025. Statewide median reaches $5,214 per acre as market momentum accelerates. Even as sales volume softens, prices hold strong across most regions. What's driving the surge? Affordability in West Texas, AI data center development, and strong activity in smaller acreage sales-now 60% of market volume compared to the usual 20%. 2026 forecast: continued price growth but declining sales volumes as interest rates and economic uncertainty take hold.

At just 29, Catherine manages a 65,000-head capacity operation, the same feedyard her grandfather founded. What started as “grounding” that meant going to work at the feedyard became her passion.

From kick-feeding as a kid to running daily operations today, Catherine embodies the family legacy while innovating for the future. She loves the puzzle of it all: how to keep the operation thriving, how to work alongside family, and how to uphold a big legacy even as the industry shrinks.

“I like the puzzle and trying to figure out how to make it all work.”

April 25, 1957
Spofford, Texas

SPRING SHIPPING IN SOUTH TEXAS is in full swing, though the movement hardly compares volume to peak years of the past. These are about 500 head owned by Traylor & Co., San Antonio, being turned into a trap near Spofford a few days ago preparatory to being loaded on railroad cars. The cattle were contracted earlier to northern buyers. At right are George Driskill (right), Sabinal, foreman for the company, and Leonard Traylor, head of the firm.

Regenerative grazing has gone by many names, cell grazing, mob grazing, holistic planned grazing, but the promise has always been the same: restore the land and increase stocking rates at the same time.

The reality? It’s complicated. Range conservationist Steve Nelle writes from hard-won experience about what went right, what went wrong, and the one lesson every rancher should take away before adopting a new grazing system.

“Test small first.”

Farmers already facing one of the toughest economic environments in decades are now dealing with a new crisis- fertilizer prices jumping $150-$200 per ton following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. With spring planting underway, some producers can’t get fertilizer at any price.

AFBF is calling on the White House to act fast: open the shipping lanes, waive import duties, and make sure fertilizer gets to farmers before the planting window closes.

“Fertilizer is not an option for farmers,” he stressed. “And now those who haven’t pre-ordered their fertilizer may not even be able to get what they need for spring planting,” Zippy Duvall told reporters.

He added that it’s not just a farm issue. It’s a food security issue and an economic issue for the entire country.

“When farmers face supply shortages or major price increases, those impacts ripple through the entire food chain.”
AFBF President Zippy Duvall

Vol.25-No.11
April 5, 1973

Eldon Dudley, a Perryton, Texas rancher who made his name both as a steer roper and a cattle operator. By the early 1970s, he was spending less time on the rodeo circuit and more time building his cattle business.

Dudley ran a mix of wheat grazing and feedlot cattle, farming his own land and leasing additional pasture. After tough winters and unreliable grazing, he began using a preconditioning lot so he could feed and finish cattle when pasture wasn’t enough. He was raising and handling thousands of steers, keeping a close eye on costs, cattle health, and where his livestock came from.

He had started out in rodeo, served in the military, and later settled into ranching full-time. Even so, rodeo stayed a big part of his life. His wife and daughter were both successful competitors, and Dudley still roped when he could, mostly staying close to home.
