On March 18, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller announced the launch of the Agricultural Defense Program (AgDefense).
The initiative intends to help protect Texan farmers and ranchers from threats by agricultural pests, diseases and depredating animals. The Texas Agricultural Finance Authority will provide financial assistance to the Texas Animal Health Commission, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and Texas A&M AgriLife Research to conduct targeted control and mitigation projects.
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis. For more information, visit tinyurl.com/yc24ajxy.
