Two Bend Cattle Ranchers Selected As Oregon’s Grassman of the Year The 1953 Oregon "Grassman of the Year" title will be shared by a pair of brothers who operate a large cattle ranch nine miles east of Bend in Deschutes county. They are the Bradetich brothers, John and George, owners of the Pine Mountain Angus ranch, according to Walter A. Holt, chairman of the agricultural committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce which sponsors the annual “Grass is Gold” contest. The $300 first place cash award given by the United State Nation al bank was presented to the two brothers at a Portland Chamber of Commerce luncheon meeting, October 5, in the Multnomah ho tel ■’ The Bradetich brothers are now eligible to compete with Washing ton and Idaho winners for the regional "grassman of the year" awiard which includes a $1500 sprinkler irrigation system or other equipment award given by R M. Wade & Co., Portland agri cultural implement dealers and manufacturers. Dairy Farmer Second Selected for second place in Ore gon contest is Jack Brownlee, dairy farmer located near Tilla mook. Brownlee will receive a $20u cash award from the United States National bank. The addition this year of a second place award is a new feature of the contest which now is in its third year. "We feel that the improvement of grasslands with resultant in crease in livestock offers the greatest opportunity for agricul tural growth in the region," chair man James M. Coon of the Port land Chamber grasslands commit tee exchange declared “That is { the reason the Portland Chamber } is proud to sponsor the "Grass is | Gold” program. The competition and the examples of the winners ; will stimulate others to use the better grasses and methods de veloped by the state colleges and federal agencies, and the general improvement which is sure to fol low will add much to the overall economy of the region," Coon said. The Oregon first and second place winners were chosen from a field of 21 Oregon county "grass men," following the completion of local competition throughout the state. In winning the state award, the Bradetich brothers proceeded on the conviction that the improve ment of their own pasture and range lands to permit two cows to graze where one grazed before is more economically feasible than to expand by the purchase of additional lands.
