WILSON COUNTY, TEXAS (RFD NEWS) — A powerful winter storm moved across farm country over the weekend, impacting a number of rural communities that do not typically experience severe winter conditions. Texas was among the states affected by the system.

Texas Farm Bureau President Russell Boening joined us on Monday’s Market Day Report to recap what the storm brought to the state and how it compares to previous winter weather events.

In his interview with RFD NEWS, Boening also discussed potential impacts on agriculture from the storm and whether the cold conditions could help slow the spread of New World screwworm, a growing concern for producers. Finally, he shared insights on the upcoming weather forecast for Texas.
