SAN ANGELO, Texas — Texas A&M AgriLife and College of Agriculture and Life Sciences employees and students were among those recognized by the Texas Section–Society for Range Management, TSSRM, at their annual meeting recently.

“I am so proud of what TSSRM members have accomplished this year and of everyone we honored,” said Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service rangeland specialist Morgan Treadwell, Ph.D., San Angelo, and outgoing TSSRM president. “All the amazing work our AgriLife researchers and Extension range specialists accomplish are only made possible and stronger by the relationships we have with our producers and the landowners we work with.

“It is an honor to recognize Mr. Bob McCan for his contributions to Texas rangeland and even more humbling to celebrate the evening at the historic Diebel Cattle Company Ranch Headquarters in Victoria. Partnering with Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association and Texas Grazing Land Coalition to recognize our rangeland stewards makes the role of AgriLife Extension and AgriLife Research truly unique.”
