"The Panhandle of Texas is the most powerful agriculture area in Texas. Very few areas in the world come close to the economic impact we in the agriculture business have on the state of Texas," John Teague, Vice President of Business Development and Governmental Affairs for the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce said. "Commissioner Staples' keynote address during the luncheon will help show the agriculture community the appreciation and support we have for all Ag related products, be it livestock, food or fiber crops."
