Texas AgExchange Farm and Ranch Show
Corpus Christi Texas
I had a chance to attend an afternoon of the farm show this week , there was a big turn out from the south Texas and Coastal Bend agricultural community as moisture has once again renewed producers optimism for their fields, range and pasture. It was good to see some old friends and visit with producers once again.
A big turn out for educational programs, conducted by the Nueces County/San Patrico County office was held on both days, Monty Dozier, Bobby McCool and the Nueces County staff need to be commended for an outstanding program. Helen Orsak in particular provided great leadership in facilitating the meetings prior to Jason Ott getting to the office. I want to also thank Joe Paschal and Megan Clayton for providing very informative programs.
Dr. Doug Steel, Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Director attended the program and show on Wednesday. It was great to see our director come out to one of our programs in District 11, we really appreciate his support.
