|
worked to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding |

unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of |
|
|
career paths; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Local chapters make a positive difference in the |
|

|
|
agricultural education; and |

|
|
influenced by farming and ranching, and these notable young men and |

|
women represent a new generation of Texans who are helping to |
|
|
sustain this longstanding tradition; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
