Don’t forget to VOTE.

This is the last week of early voting! Vote FOR Props 1, 4, and 5!

Prop 1: Long-term Funding for Texas State Technical College
This will commit $850 million of budgeted funds (not a new tax) to build, repair and expand training facilities so Texas can train the electricians, mechanics, welders, medical technicians and other skilled workers our economy needs.

Prop 4: Providing Water for Texas
With an estimated $154 billion in water infrastructure needs by 2070, this amendment would dedicate $1 billion each year (only if there’s surplus sales-tax revenue) to finance water and wastewater projects. Safeguards against groundwater export and taking land for reservoirs would be in place.

Proposition 5: Tax Exemption for Livestock Feed
When livestock feed is taxed as property, those costs get passed on to ranchers and livestock owners. This amendment would exempt livestock feed from property tax, helping protect Texas agriculture and food production.

. Today. And every day. Working early mornings and late nights to grow our food, fiber and fuel.

Each day, farmers and ranchers care for the land, animals, natural resources and their families. They have a desire to succeed. The drive to innovate. And a passion for growing things.

Farmers and ranchers: They’re the beating heart of Texas agriculture and our future.

Mexico confirmed a new case of New World screwworm in Sabinas Hidalgo, located in the state of Nuevo León, less than 70 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.

This is now the northernmost detection of NWS during this outbreak and the one most threatening to the American cattle and livestock industry.

Currently, U.S. ports remain closed to imports of cattle, bison, and horses from Mexico.
