Legislation Updates
On Saturday, June 18th, Governor Perry signed Senate Bill 1273
establishing the Texas Farm & Ranch Lands Conservation Program! Please
accept our heartfelt gratitude for supporting this effort. Thanks to
the perseverance of many, many people, most notably Senator Mike Jackson
and Representative Charlie Geren, the Texas Farm & Ranch Lands
Conservation Program will help stem the fragmentation and loss of
agricultural lands and natural resources in Texas. By awarding grants
for the sale of agricultural conservation easements, TFRLCP provides
landowners with a voluntary, free-market alternative to sub-dividing or
selling for development. Thank you!
