AgLead XII Participants Meet at the CVM
On Jan. 19 members of the Texas Farm Bureau’s AgLead XII program, which is designed to empower young farmers and ranchers promote a promising future for Texas agriculture, met at the CVM. The meeting discussed how the CVM’s efforts help rural communities in Texas.
At the meeting Dr. Dan Posey presented “Rural Practice Needs in Texas,” informing the visitors of the CVM’s role in meeting the needs of rural Texas. Posey also led the visitors on a tour of the CVM.
Dr. Deb Zoran and Dr. Brandon Dominguez presented on the Veterinary Emergency Team’s (VET) disaster preparedness work and how that work benefits rural communities in Texas. “Serving Texans and Texas agriculture is what the VET and CVM strives to do,” Dominguez said. “Sharing these ideas with leaders of agriculture in the state gave us insight to their concerns, shared what we can do, and offered up ideas to further our relationship with the farmers and ranchers of Texas.”
According to the Texas Farm Bureau, the AgLead XII program includes 12 farmers and ranchers from ages 25 to 40 who come from all over Texas. The program is a two-year curriculum with five Texas sessions, three out-of-state sessions, and an international trip. To learn more about AgLead XII, visit the Texas Farm Bureau’s website.
