Commissioner Sid Miller is all in on renaming the New York Strip to the Texas Strip—because let’s be honest, the best beef comes from Texas, not some fancy steakhouse up north. This isn’t just about a name change—it’s about giving credit where credit is due. Texas leads the nation in beef production, and it’s time our steaks wear the brand with pride #TexasStrip #TexasAgricultureMatters #KXAN #Texas #Beef

Weekend Shopping and a Texas-Made Surprise ???? I was out at Scheels this weekend, just shopping, when I stumbled across something familiar—Dobbins Rods. Seeing their display reminded me how much I love coming across Texas-made products, especially when I’ve had the chance to sit down with the owner and hear the story behind them. Thanks to Chris Brown, I had the privilege of interviewing Gary Dobbins, the man behind Dobbins Rods, on the Gone to Texas podcast. We talked about his journey, the craftsmanship behind his rods, and what it takes to build a successful business in Sulphur Springs, Texas. If you’re into fishing or love supporting homegrown businesses, check out our conversation here: https://lnkd.in/geDDXprN What’s a Texas-made product you’ve come across recently that made you stop and appreciate the hard work behind it? Let me know—I’d love to hear about it. #MadeInTexas #DobbinsRods #ShopLocal #TexasBusiness #EconDev #GonetoTexas #MovetoTexas #TexasEDC #EconomicDevelopment #Industrial #smallbusiness #Businessowners #commericalrealestate https://lnkd.in/geDDXprN
