At this point in Union government history, what part of it is a “friend”?
There was a time when Texas A&M was in fact a friend of the farmer and rancher.
But that died when that university got so large they forgot where they came from. From a Land Grant university to another bureaucrat monster. (Several years ago they partnered with Syngenta [Agri-pro] running their seed program. Later Syngenta (Swiss Company) sold to the ChiCom Government for 13 Billion Dollars cash, yes, they bought the best 2 breeding programs for wheat + seed)
I’m fully aware of where we are.
