A Note from Agriculture
Commissioner Todd Staples

The roots of agriculture run deep in Texas — and not just in the fields of our farmers and ranchers.

At this very moment, agriculture is helping build homes, save lives and boost our economy. Agriculture feeds us, clothes us and gives us shelter. It contributes to science, medicine and education. It keeps us healthy. It adds color to our world. It’s a dynamic industry that reaches across the farmer's fence and into our daily lives. Agriculture is everywhere. Agriculture is Your Culture.

With our new Agriculture is Your Culture campaign, we invite you to explore the bounty of the land and the ways in which it touches our world.

Take a look around and you’ll see agriculture everywhere. Take a closer look and you’ll see Agriculture is Your Culture!
