Texas Agriculture
No Brag, Just Fact: No-
vember has been desig-
nated as “Texas Food
and Fiber Abundance
Month,” so let’s take a
look at the state’s agri-
cultural industry.
Texans have always
been proud. of their
state, and the Texas
‘ ‘brag’ ’ is widely known.
However, when it comes
to agriculture, that
“brag” is very real
because agriculture is
“big” in Texas.
Consider that agri-
culture is a $10 billion
industry in Texas,
second only to the oil

the agricultural indus-
try provides employ-
ment for 35 to 40 per-
cent of the Texas labor
force.
Of the state’s ap-
proximate land area of
168 million acrea, some
143 million acres are
in farmland -?■- more
than any other state.
Texas also boasts more
and bigger farms than
any other state in the
nation.
And talk about diver-
sity! Texas produces
more than 200 different
types of corps and live-
stock. So, in many ways,
the state is self-
sustaining. In addition,
it provides food and
fiber for consumers
throughout this country
as well as abroad. Texas
is the third leading
agricultural state in
the nation and ranks
fourth among the leading
agricultural exporting
states.
In the United States,
Texas leads in the pro-
duction of all cattle, beef
cattle, rice, sheep and
wool, goats and mohair,
cotton and grain sor-
ghum. It is also a lead-
ing producer of peanuts,
pecans, hay, citrus and
vegetables. Not to be
overlooked are the
dairy, poultry and egg,
swine, corn, soybean,
honey, wheat, timber,
horse and matriculture
(catfish and shrimp
farming) industries.
It’s a good bet that
consumers in Texas
come in contact with a
