Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, M.D., is excited to announce that the Texas General Land Office is partnering with @TAMU and the @TexasFarmBureau to empower future Texas farmers and ranchers!

The GLO will work with both of these organizations to develop agricultural opportunities for the next generation of farmers and ranchers by providing them with hands-on training, mentorship from experienced producers, and a pathway towards farming or ranching.

"The number of farms in America is declining, our agricultural workforce is getting older, and we must prepare today for who will feed Texas tomorrow.

This partnership is about putting Texas land to work and giving the next generation of producers a pathway into agriculture." - Commissioner Buckingham

Thanks to the Texas GLO, Harris County will have more time to complete flood mitigation projects and keep millions in grant money.

However, some state leaders have "grave concerns" that the county won't be able to finish these projects in time, @NickABC13 of @abc13houston reports.

Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, M.D., stated, “While HUD’s trust in the GLO has earned Harris County an additional extension, I will be clear:

No more delays will be tolerated … the time for excuses and missed benchmarks is over. No more extensions, no more excuses, just get it done.”

🚨 Be careful, Texans! 🚨

⚠️ Recognize low water crossings.
⚠️ Never drive if there is water on the road.
⚠️ Even a small amount of fast-moving floodwater can be dangerous.
⚠️ Just 6 inches can knock an adult off their feet.
⚠️ 12 inches can carry away most cars.

It's never safe to drive or walk through floodwaters - #TurnAroundDontDrown!
