About the author

The Texas Department of Agriculture is a state agency, not an individual author. Established by the Texas Legislature in 1907, it oversees work tied to agriculture, rural community affairs, consumer protection, and related programs in Texas.

According to the agency’s own overview, its main objectives include promoting production agriculture, supporting economic development, encouraging healthy living, and protecting consumers. Its responsibilities range from marketing Texas agricultural products to regulating pesticides, plant health, and commercial weights and measures.

The department is led by the elected Texas agriculture commissioner. On current agency materials, Sid Miller is listed as commissioner, having first been elected in 2014 and beginning his third term after the 2022 election.
