At the the noon luncheon, attendees heard from Texas Speaker of the House Joe Straus about issues facing Texas during the upcoming election.
Afternoon session speakers included NCBA’s Colin Woodall, Climatologist Evelyn Browning-Garriss, who gave an update on climate weather for summer and fall; Jeff Goodwin, National Resource Conservation Service; Col. Craig Hunter, Texas Parks and Wildlife; and Robert Eckels, Texas Central Railway.
