COMPRISED OF FARM, RANCH AND COMMUNITY BUSINESS LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE sOUTHWEST, THE COUNCIL SPEAKS WITH ONE, UNIFIED VOICE ON BEHALF OF ALL AGRICULTURE AND RURAL COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE REGION. - rep. Mike Conaway (r-TX)Former Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture | Our HistoryThe idea behind the Southwest Council emerged from agricultural organizations encouraging businesses (lending institutions, implement dealers, auto dealers, etc.) to take a more active role in supporting producers through an alliance that would be an advocate for strong U.S. farm policy. Among those who gathered initially to form the Council, it was agreed that this should be a long-term effort focused on supporting policies that would be advantageous to the area's agricultural-based economy well into the future. |
