Modern agribusiness is a dynamic and growing sector in Texas' economy.
As our second largest industry, agriculture is vital to the Lone Star State's continued economic prosperity. Farmers and ranchers in Texas produce some of the world's finest and most affordable goods. From food and fiber to packaging, wholesale and retail trade business, agriculture benefits us as consumers and creates thousands of jobs. The numerous products, jobs and financial impact of agriculture are easily overlooked in an urban county. I encourage residents in Travis County to learn more about the many ways Texans benefit every day from agribusiness, and how it enhances the quality of life locally and throughout the Lone Star State.
