Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 8th of August.
Good morning, College Station.
🏘️ Community
The Brazos Valley Food Bank hosted its 32nd annual Feast of Caring at the Brazos Center — hundreds gathered for lunch to help fight hunger.
The event raised money for hunger relief and supported future efforts in the community.
📰 Economy
Texas cattle ranchers set record calf prices — three times what they were four years ago — as drought, less available land, and slow replacement of cattle keep beef supply low.
Experts from Texas A&M AgriLife say it will take 2 to 3 years for more cattle to be raised, so consumers will see high beef prices for another year.
🏛️ Government
On Tuesday, Brazos County commissioners set a November 4 election to adopt or reject 17 constitutional amendments proposed by the 89th Legislature—this vote will also include trustee races for the Bryan and College Station school districts.
In College Station, three board seats have active contests with filings ongoing and early voting scheduled to begin on Oct. 20.
