Texas Agriculture Commissioner Advocates for 'America First' Beef Policy

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Advocates for 'America First' Beef Policy

Sid Miller, the Texas Agriculture Commissioner, is advocating for an 'America First' beef policy to address the declining U.S. cattle herd, which is at its lowest in over 75 years. Miller attributes this decline to persistent drought conditions and unfavorable federal trade policies, which have increased pressure on ranchers and led to higher beef prices. He criticizes recent agreements to expand beef imports from Argentina, arguing that they should be temporary and not replace domestic production goals. Miller's proposed policy includes measures such as a federal heifer retention tax credit, expanded drought relief, and stronger market transparency.

Texas Father Fights to Prevent Daughter's 12-Year Sentence in Panama Over Gun Incident

Texas Father Fights to Prevent Daughter's 12-Year Sentence in Panama Over Gun Incident

A retired Dallas police officer is actively working to prevent his daughter from serving a 12-year mandatory sentence in Panama. The situation arose after authorities discovered a loaded gun in her checked luggage, which the father claims was packed by mistake and belonged to her husband. The daughter, who spent 23 days in prison, is currently under house arrest. Despite the circumstances, Panamanian prosecutors have offered a plea deal that still includes the full sentence. The father is seeking federal assistance but is largely fighting this legal battle on his own to bring his daughter back to the United States.

U.S. and Mexico Strengthen 1944 Water Treaty to Secure Water for Texas Agriculture

The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of State have announced a new commitment with Mexico to enhance the implementation of the 1944 Water Treaty. This agreement aims to provide greater water delivery certainty to farmers, ranchers, and producers in South Texas who depend on the Rio Grande. The announcement follows a recent call between President Trump and President Sheinbaum, where both leaders reaffirmed their dedication to resolving water management challenges. Under the agreement, Mexico will deliver a minimum of 350,000 acre-feet of water annually to the U.S. over a five-year cycle, addressing previous water deficits and ensuring stability for agricultural producers in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.

Boehringer Ingelheim Receives FDA Emergency Use Authorization for IVOMEC to Combat New World Screwworm in Cattle

Boehringer Ingelheim Receives FDA Emergency Use Authorization for IVOMEC to Combat New World Screwworm in Cattle

Boehringer Ingelheim has been granted an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its IVOMEC (ivermectin) 1% Injection. This authorization allows the use of the injection to prevent infestations caused by the New World screwworm (NWS) in cattle. The NWS is a parasitic fly whose larvae can cause severe tissue damage and potentially fatal infestations in warm-blooded animals. Although the NWS is not currently present in the United States, recent cases have been reported in northern Mexico, particularly in Tamaulipas, a state bordering Texas. The EUA permits the use of IVOMEC for cattle within 24 hours of birth, during castration, or when a wound appears, except for female dairy cattle producing milk for human consumption and calves intended for veal. This is the first EUA for an over-the-counter drug aimed at preventing NWS infestations in cattle.
