Sen. Cruz: Texas Farmers and Ranchers Support the American People and Economy
Discusses issues and solutions with Texas farmers on agriculture tour
FRIONA, Texas – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today continued his state agriculture tour, meeting with wine and grape, dairy, livestock feed, and maize farmers in West Texas to discuss their unique operations and needs.
Sen. Cruz toured the Bingham Family Vineyards in Meadow and stopped at Leal’s Mexican Restaurant and tortilla factory in Muleshoe for lunch. Cruz also visited the Del Rio Dairy and Hi Pro Feeds mill in Friona and later observed a local maize harvest.
“Texas is blessed with a diverse and dynamic agriculture industry that feeds the American people, provides quality jobs for hardworking Texans, and serves as a strong foundation for our nation’s economy,” Sen. Cruz said. “Each of our state’s farmers and ranchers face unique challenges and opportunities. We should be doing everything in our power to get the federal government out of the way and ensure that each of Texas’ distinct agriculture industries are able to expand and prosper.”
