Texas Agriculture Got Hit Hard.

I’m being a bit nosey, but the lobbying calls you are on, is this part of your work with SCI?

No worries. These zoom calls (usually done in person in DC) are in support of Land Grant Universities.....our nationwide network of Ag Schools specifically. I am the current CARET chairman (volunteer supporter) for Land Grants across the southern region/states. It is amazing that Clemson, Ok State, North Carolina A&T, etc all have like issues with funding of core programs. Just another way to give back and support our ag producers & universities with more than words.[emoji106][emoji230][emoji609]

Fun left 3 years ago

Probably longer than that, when LCRA stopped the flow of water for rice so Austin could grow, lots of folks belly upped
Between lack of water and technology costs on seed and chemicals

A 3 inch rain would be a good place to start for the climb out of this hole I fell in

Not necessarily true. Most of the rice farmers I know that were shut off from LCRA qualified for preventative planting (insurance). They were paid on average around $600 per planted acre based off their annual planted acre history. That's $600 revenue per acre without crop or market risk. Many of them bought new equipment while they waited things out. By the way, you cant make close to $600 per acre by growing a really good crop of rice.

I too hate bail outs. It keeps those in that don’t need to be in... In
And keeps the market from ever balancing out.

Different industry but I strongly agree with this!
