The Chamber’s Salute to Ag Luncheon will feature Dr. Guy H. Loneragan, a veterinary epidemiologist and Professor of Food Safety and Public Health and at Texas Tech University.

Agriculture is a driving force in West Texas and the Lubbock economy. Texas produces nine percent of the U.S. cotton supply and 13 percent of the U.S. beef supply. The High Plains of Texas brings in over 130,000 jobs and makes up one-third of the region’s economy. The Salute to Ag Luncheon allows the Chamber to honor and celebrate the agriculture industry and its contributions to the economy.

Sponsorships are still available this year, and individual tickets are $40. Chamber members receive a discounted price of $30.
