built 615 days ago
The Panhandle is the west-northernmost region of Texas. It's a mainly harsh region, embodying the ideas of the old west, with its ranches and cattle grazing. Amarillo and Lubbock are the main cities in this backyard Texan region, rich in oil.

Firefighters are gaining control of wildfires that swept across the Texas panhandle this week, killing 11 people and thousands of horses and cattle. Witnesses in the hardest-hit counties say it is the worst disaster to hit the area in their lifetimes. Alex Chadwick talks to Jeff Brady, who's covering the fires from the town of Perryton in northwest Texas.

The town of Panhandle grew from the Four Sixes Ranch. Named for its location in Texas Panhandle, it became the county seat when Carson County was organized in 1888. Wheat, cattle, and petroleum products are the major commodities from this marketing and shipping center.

"Without the recent development of plants such as this one, the cattle feeding industry in the panhandle would have suffered significantly," said Josserand. "Not only that, but White Energy provides a ready market for crops locally, which combined with the surge in the national demand, creates a tremendous advantage for the local corn and milo farmers."
