1 Texas’ agricultural potential is
yjright and should be pursued eco
nomically and humanitarianly, Lt.
Gov. Bill Hobby said Monday at the
Medication of Texas A&M Univer
sity s new Robert Justus Kleberg Jr.
Hiimal and Food Sciences Center.
The $9.4 million fecility is named
in honor of the long-time leader of
the legendary King Ranch. Kleberg
headed the King Ranch operation
gjr more than a half-century, during
ich time he developed the Santa
Jertrudis breed of beef cattle, and
Jas a major influence on agriculture
generally and a powerful proponent
of wildlife conservation.
■ “The potential of agriculture in
Texas is a major bright spot on the
horizon,’ Hobby said, viewing the
situation from a national perspec
tive. “We need to pursue this po
tential with economic and
humanitarian goals in mind.”
1 He said everything possible must
bi done to maintain — and
enhance, if possible — this “envi
able position.”
|| “While not personally an agricul
turist, I know a good deal when I
see one, and I know the importance
of agriculture to this state,” said
Hobby.
f The lieutenant governor said that
agriculture continues to be the lead
ing source of gross receipts in the
economy of Texas. The U.S. De
partment of Agriculture Crop and
Livestock Reporting Service indi
cates that $6.6 billion were received
by the state’s farmers and ranchers
for their commodities last year, he
pointed out.
“Unfortunately, however, most
farmers and ranchers are faced with
ever-increasing production costs
and diminishing farm prices at the
market place, resulting in an eco
nomic situation that dominates our
interest today,” he said.
It would be easy to draw the con
clusion that cutbacks should be
made in agricultural research,
teaching and extension education
designed to improve agricultural
production and efficiencies, Hobby
said.
“The longer term analysis, how
ever, presents a very different pic
ture, and I was happy to see that
Dr. Jarvis Miller addressed this
point when he testified recently be
fore a congressional subcommittee
regarding proposed cuts in next
year’s federal budget,” Hobby said.
Hobby pointed out that the world
has food reserves that are estimated
to last only 54 days if a major disas
ter should occur.
“To let our current supply-
demand situation deter our long
term needs in food and fiber prod
uction would be a major error of
judgment,” Hobby said. “Most cer
tainly, it would deal a significant
blow to our longer term economic
well being here in Texas and in
crease our balance-of-trade deficit
even more.”

one of the first two buildings on the
new agricultural complex on the
west side of the campus.
Clyde H. Wells, chairman of the
Texas A&M University System
Board of Regents, formally dedi
cated the five-floor building.
“It’s a building built with the
purpose of aiding us as we attempt
to make our agricultural efforts even
more productive for the benefit of
everyone,” Wells said. “This is the
type facility that represents the
ideal use of the Permanent Univer
sity Fund — providing support for a
project that can best be carried out
for the benefit of many at a center of
excellence.”
Miller presided at the cere

marks by Chancellor Jack K.
Williams, Dean of Agriculture H.

Groves.
Groves is Kleberg’s daughter and
