Big shoutout to Fayette County Farm Bureau President Steven Harker and his wife, Jackie, for being in Washington, D.C. last week representing our county! ๐บ๐ธ๐พ
A farmerโs job isnโt always in the field - sometimes itโs in the halls of Capitol Hill advocating for the future of agriculture. Nearly 300 Texas farmers and ranchers made the trip to meet with lawmakers and their staff to talk about important issues like the farm bill, labor, trade, and the threat of the New World screwworm.
They also heard from U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and U.S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Stephen Vaden.
Proud to see our local voices helping make a difference. It was a great week of advocacy in D.C.!
