When agriculture faces serious challenges, the country often turns to Texas and to @TAMU. John Bellinger brings decades of experience in cattle production, food safety and animal agriculture to this fight. He understands what is at stake for ranchers, rural communities and the nation’s food supply, and he understands how to bring people together to solve problems.
The @USDA has named Texas A&M University System Regent John Bellinger as Senior Advisor for New World Screwworm Preparedness, tapping a longtime cattleman and food safety leader to help coordinate the federal and state responses: tx.ag/TAMUS060926

What if giving back didn’t have to wait until later? πŸ’‘πŸ€ Six recent Aggie graduates created an endowed scholarship for petroleum engineering students before even beginning their careers. Their gift reflects the values of integrity, gratitude and selfless service learned through the Graham Petroleum Ventures Program. πŸ”— tx.ag/PVPStudentDonors #AggieEngineers #AggieGiving #SelflessService #TAMUEngineering

Last week, students had the opportunity to visit Texas A&M University and explore greenhouse, phenotyping, and field research facilities. The visit provided valuable exposure to plant phenotyping, controlled-environment agriculture, and modern crop research systems. @AbccUsda

Deep soil testing can help producers manage costs as fertilizer prices stay high. @txextension specialists recommend it to identify nutrients already in the soil. Learn more: tx.ag/TestingDeepSoil

Agriculture touches every part of our lives, from the food we eat to the clothes we wear and the fuel that keeps us moving. On National Ag Day, we recognize those who grow, raise and sustain food and fiber for Texas and beyond. Happy #NationalAgDay 🌾
