Agriculture is national security. Last week, Texas Corn joined leaders, policymakers, and producers in Fort Worth for the Federal Agriculture Policy Townhall hosted by the Caucus Foundation and Secretary Rollins. Discussions centered on future of rural agriculture and the critical role farmers play in our nation's security.

Thank you to TCP Board Member Todd for sharing the Texas farmer perspective during the luncheon co-sponsored by Texas Corn Producers and Farm Bureau.

Sharing our story matters.

This week, a group of Texas farmers traveled to the CommonGround Conference to connect with fellow farmer advocates from across the country. Through workshops, speaker sessions, and hands-on consumer engagement opportunities, they gained new tools to help answer questions and build trust around food and farming.

Texas Corn Producers is proud to support CommonGround and the farmers who are helping give consumers an authentic, up-close look at modern agriculture. Learn more about CommonGround Texas: texascommonground.com
