Texas farmers and ranchers will reach out to consumers to talk with them about issues of food and agriculture Feb. 17 during Texas Food Connection Day, a statewide program sponsored by the Texas Farm Bureau (TFB).
Formerly Food Check-Out Week, Texas Food Connection Day was established to connect farmers and ranchers with their customers and initiate discussions about agriculture and food-related issues, including affordability, nutrition, food safety, animal welfare, profitability and productivity.
