Relief is on the way to Texas farmers and ranchers dealing with water shortages.
The Texas Department of Agriculture and USDA have teamed up, offering $280 million in grant assistance for farmers with water rights along the Rio Grande River.
It comes after years of delays with Mexico’s failure to deliver under the 1944 Water Treaty. Texas Ag Commissioner Sid Miller says farmers there have endured long enough.
The grant application is open now through May 22nd.
