A message for our farmers and ranchers

Three years ago, Congressman Morgan Luttrell posted these words on his Instagram channel:

"There are labor shortages. They [the farmers and ranchers of District 8] can't get people to come work the fields. So they're growing these crops over the season, but they don't have anybody to harvest it, and the crops are dying on the ground."

For the record: I actually do believe that Morgan would like to help agriculture in our district, but he's in a tough spot.

He's sworn allegiance to Trump, NO MATTER WHAT, so he really can't speak out against Republican policies... such as ICE raids on Hispanic farm workers.

Is that a problem? Oh, it sure is! Take this Fox News article, for example:

Here, I'll save you another click and re-post their bottom line:

The Brief

• Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller states that increased immigration enforcement is negatively impacting the agricultural industry.

• Federal immigration officials are continuing enforcement, despite a brief pause by President Trump in sectors heavily reliant on migrant labor.

• Farmers are experiencing significant disruption as many undocumented workers are not showing up for work for fear of deportation.

So, what do you think, Ag Friends?

Morgan Luttrell SUPPORTS the policies that hurt you and your people.

In 2026, will you re-elect him?
