Throughout America’s history, we have relied on farmers and ranchers to provide us with a wholesome and hearty food supply. We owe our continued prosperity to their dedication, innovation, and resilience. America has the safest, least expensive, most abundant food supply of any country in the world, and we are truly fortunate. Agricultural producers in Texas' 26th District help to carry on this legacy from generation to generation.

I represent three counties in Texas that have a strong legacy of providing for the agriculture needs of our region, state, and nation. The major commodities in Cooke County are beef cattle, dairy, feed grains, forage/hay, forestry, and horses. Denton County primarily provides beef cattle, feed grains, forage/hay, and horses, while Tarrant County additionally provides honey, cotton, nursery/greenhouses, and wheat.
