WHEREAS, Texas Farm Bureau is holding its 2013 Leadership | ||
Conference on January 27-30 in Austin, and this occasion provides a | ||
fitting opportunity to recognize an organization that has played an | ||
essential role in Texas agriculture for 80 years; and | ||
WHEREAS, Agriculture is one of the leading industries in the | ||
Lone Star State, annually helping to infuse more than $36 billion | ||
into our economy; keeping pace with the demands of a growing | ||
population, production continues to increase, thanks in part to | ||
advances in recordkeeping, machinery, and computer technology; and | ||
WHEREAS, The farmers and ranchers of our state provide for | ||
the most essential needs of their fellow citizens by ensuring an | ||
abundant, reliable, and affordable supply of food and fiber, and | ||
since 1933, Texas Farm Bureau has provided a united voice for these | ||
hardworking men and women; and | ||
WHEREAS, Focusing on grassroots policy development, the | ||
association represents the interests of agricultural producers in | ||
the legislative process at both the state and national levels while | ||
assisting members through a range of benefits and services; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, with more than 480,000 participants, Texas | ||
Farm Bureau is one of the largest groups of farmers, ranchers, and | ||
rural families in the world; among its many accomplishments, the | ||
organization has helped to achieve an improved farm-to-market road | ||
system, protection of property rights, and the implementation of | ||
animal health programs; and | ||
WHEREAS, Agriculture is an important part of Texas history | ||
and a critical part of its future, and the efforts of Texas Farm | ||
Bureau are helping to sustain and advance this vital industry; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 2013 Texas Farm Bureau | ||
Leadership Conference and extend to all those in attendance sincere | ||
best wishes for a memorable and meaningful gathering. |
