“We can’t get Mexico to pay up.”

USDA is working to help Texas farmers who are impacted by Mexico’s failure to deliver much-needed water. The department has announced a $280 million grant agreement for the state to provide relief to eligible producers along the Rio Grande Valley.

Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Sid Miller spoke with RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender about why Mexico is failing to deliver water, what the economic relief entails, and what producers need to know.
