No one can promise what the weather will bring for 2027. But 30 years of weather history is something to consider.

Texas A&M AgriLife's FREE Texas Weather Explorer helps Texas farmers plan for the next growing season using 30 years of historical weather data. 

You can access crop-specific growing degree days (GDDs) and predicted growth stages based on your location through this new tool.

Texas Gulf Coast farmers, did you hear the news? You don't have to choose between insurance coverage for hurricane damage or a bad crop year in 2027. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced that you can have both kinds of protection.

Same crop. Same state. But where Texas corn goes after harvest depends a lot on where it's grown. Robert Gordon and Jim Sugarek compare notes on two very different Texas corn markets.

The Administration’s relief for farmers keeps getting swallowed by fertilizer costs. Texas corn farmers joined Iowa & Ohio in asking @POTUS to back the FTC in moving forward on the fertilizer investigation his administration started.

What makes a great farmer? A lot of it starts with who taught you.

Texas corn farmers: Fuel cost relief is on the way.

The new $8B Harvest Fuel Relief Program from the USDA can help offset your 2026 production costs.

What does this mean for your farm? We break down the 5 things you need to know, from payment calculations to applications, on our website. 

Get the details at https://t.co/ztGwPM44I9.

Texas farmers and ag professionals know what fertilizer costs are doing to the farm bottom line.

Firsthand experiences from across Texas agriculture can help inform the federal investigation into fertilizer pricing and anti-competitive practices.

If you’ve experienced or witnessed unfair pricing, limited purchasing options, supply issues or other practices you believe should be investigated, speak up. What you know could help investigators better understand what’s happening in the fertilizer market—in Texas and across the country.

Visit https://t.co/NWNpL8pQKL to share your experience and help build the case for a fair, competitive fertilizer market.

2026 ARC/PLC enrollment is open, and every farm needs a new contract—even if you're keeping your current election.

The deadline is December 11.

With changes to base acres, coverage and payment limits, now's the time to run the numbers. The Texas corn checkoff helped support a free decision tool from Texas A&M to help farmers compare their options.

Texas corn farmers need a voice in the decisions shaping the future of corn production nationwide.

Four Texas farmers will help guide the National Corn Growers Association's priorities on issues affecting corn growers across the country. And because farming in Texas looks very different from farming in the Corn Belt, their perspectives matter.

Congratulations to Cari Beauchamp, Todd Kimbrell, Russell Williams and Kendal Wright on their appointments to NCGA action teams and committees for 2027!

Thank you for representing Texas and giving your time to serve fellow farmers.

USDA Delivers Unexpected Blow to Corn Bulls, Corn Prices Tank

[Texas Corn Producers @TexasCorn]

The rain has come. Now for the question every farmer asks: where does it go? On healthy, well-managed land, more of it soaks in and stays where crops and groundwater can use it. On compacted ground, more of it runs off. We can't control the weather, but we can control how ready the land is for it.

Check out this article from Water Grows. Water Grows is a program that champions the importance of water conservation through a partnership between TCP and NRCS Texas.
