· Texas Border Business
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has commended the USDA APHIS for extending the sterile fly dispersal operations against the New World screwworm further north along the Texas-Mexico border. This expansion now includes Maverick County near Eagle Pass, enhancing protection for livestock, wildlife, and pets. Miller emphasized the urgency of this action due to the increasing threat from the parasite, which can severely impact the livestock industry. He urged ranchers, veterinarians, and pet owners to remain vigilant for signs of infestation. For more information, visit Screwworm.gov.
