|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Texas Farm Bureau District 4 Day is taking place at | ||
| the State Capitol on February 24, 2011, and this occasion provides a | ||
| fitting opportunity to recognize an organization that has played an | ||
| essential role in Texas agriculture in the North Texas region for | ||
| more than 75 years; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Texas Farm Bureau was founded in 1933 and has | ||
| provided a united voice for farmers and ranchers throughout its | ||
| history; it focuses on grassroots policy development, represents | ||
| the interests of agricultural producers in the legislative process | ||
| at both the state and national levels, and assists members by | ||
| offering a range of benefits and services; the organization draws | ||
| on the abilities of an experienced leadership team that includes | ||
| District 4 state director Charles Ray Huddleston; and | ||
| WHEREAS, TFB District 4 covers the northern portion of Texas | ||
| and includes the counties of Cooke, Grayson, Fannin, Denton, | ||
| Collin, Hunt, Parker, Tarrant, Dallas, Rockwall, Kaufman, Ellis, | ||
| Johnson, Hood, Somervell, Hill, and Navarro; and | ||
| WHEREAS, These 17 counties contain more than 20,800 farms and | ||
| ranches that encompass 3.7 million acres of Texas land; District 4 | ||
| is an especially productive area for growing forage, with 7 of its | ||
| 17 counties ranking among the top 20 forage-producing counties in | ||
| the state; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The valuable commodities raised on the farms and | ||
| ranches in this territory are an important component of the economy | ||
| of the Lone Star State, and the members of Texas Farm Bureau | ||
| District 4 are indeed deserving of recognition for their vital | ||
| contributions; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby recognize February 24, 2011, as Texas Farm | ||
| Bureau District 4 Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome | ||
| to the fine citizens who have traveled to Austin to celebrate this | ||
| occasion; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
