WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to

its 80th anniversary; and
WHEREAS, The Meadow Farmers Co-op Gin adopted its name on
September 8, 1934, and the articles of incorporation were
officially filed with the Secretary of State on February 19,
1935; and
WHEREAS, In the decades that have followed, the

acres of cotton with proceeds exceeding $7 million, and its total
yearly economic impact is nearly $10 million based on a
three-year average; and
WHEREAS, The Meadow Farmers Co-op Gin plays an important
role in the financial success of the region and in the
agricultural success of our state, and its 80th anniversary is
indeed cause for celebration; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
