Earlier this week TNLA Member Ron Fox, Director of Southwest Operations for Altman Plants, Inc., invited Texas State Representative John Cyrier to tour their nursery in Giddings, Texas. This visit provided the Representative and his staff insight on the current scope of the Texas Green Industry and gave TNLA staff the chance to share issues and perspectives our industry faces. Some of these are legislative but others are regulatory in nature.

Representative Cyrier is Sunset Committee Chairman charged with currently reviewing the Department of Agriculture. The productive conversations and ability to show Representative Cyrier a plant production facility was beneficial for the entire industry. Altman Plants and Ron Fox were great hosts for the visit.
