Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller Tackles the New World Screwworm Threat
Texas Department of Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller joins the show to break down the growing threat of the New World Screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite that's causing serious damage to cattle herds across the Lone Star State. Commissioner Miller explains how this destructive pest spreads, why it's such a major concern for ranchers and the state's agriculture industry, and what Texas is doing right now to stop it in its tracks. Trent and Miller dig into the state's response efforts, the economic stakes for cattle producers, and what this could mean for the future of Texas ranching if the problem isn't controlled. This is a must-watch conversation for anyone connected to agriculture, ranching, or rural Texas communities who wants to understand a threat that's already making headlines and could get a lot worse.
