Hemphill County Judge Lisa Johnson met this week with Texas A&M Forest Service leadership, including Area Operations Chief Lee Andersen, Director Al Davis, Judge Johnson, and Deputy Director Wes Moorehead (in photo). The group discussed resources, VFD grant funding, mitigation efforts and their requests for the next legislative session. TFS is in the process of purchasing nine additional aircraft to be stationed in Abilene and the surrounding area. These aircraft would be available should Hemphill County or surrounding communities need them. 

Leadership Canadian class members recently toured 100th Meridian Ranch, owned by Justin and Bryn Rader, for an inside look at one of the area’s innovative agricultural businesses. Participants met with the ranch team, including Justin Rader, Dusty Billings, Lane Hale, and Kortni Hale, who each shared their roles in the operation.

Justin discussed the history of the ranch and its growth from a traditional cattle operation into a diversified business that now includes a successful bull leasing program.
