I am pleased to announce I have successfully secured a commitment from the Biden administration to fix the broken levees in the RGV. Thank you @POTUS, @WhiteHouse and @DHSgov for working with us on this! My full statement below ⬇️

[Rep. Ryan Guillen @RyanGuillen]

Unexpected disasters have left our local grocery store shelves empty. HB 4548 will allow for emergency overweight truck permits to be issued during times of disasters, so that grocery shelves can be filled quicker when we really need them to be. #txlege #priority

[Rep. Vicente Gonzalez @RepGonzalez]

I sent a letter to @POTUS Biden requesting a meeting to discuss the seizure of South Texas property and flooding risks due to the broken levee in @HidalgoCounty. I urge the Administration to listen to the people of South Texas about the policies that impact our home.

"We were able to get the watermelons planted, but only by NOT harvesting 35 acres of asparagus." @shayfarmkid

350,000lbs asparagus will be plowed b/c not enough workers to harvest

@USCongress & @USSenate: +30yrs of debate = ENOUGH

FIX THIS PROBLEM!

Today our team, the City of Alton, and the Texas National Guard distributed much-needed fresh produce and other nutritious foods to over 300 families in Alton. We’re thankful for our partnership with the @foodbankrgv and look forward to hosting more events in Precinct 3.

It's that time of year for #Tx1015 Sweet Onions

Look for those onions w/ the yellow-golden skin, not bronze.

Don't think there's a difference in the taste?
Try both... you'll see for yourself

What is Grafting?

Ever wonder how #Texas got the best tasting grapefruit?

Cross-breeding (pollen transfers from one variety to another & creates 3rd/new variety)

Grafting (connecting 2 severed branches)...for over a century!

**Thnx @HectorGarzaTX for the great digital artwork

Nicely done, Rio Fresh Inc! We're glad to see your essential ag workers receive their vaccines onsite. TIPA has been working alongside UT Houston, DSHS, local WHD and Rio Fresh Inc. to pilot this first clinic. We are hopeful future employers can host similar clinics in Texas.
