This has turned out to be 1 of the virtually significant programs ever put into place.

Our students accept worked with Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn, US Representatives Mike Conaway, Lamar Smith, Mac Thornberry, Randy Neugebauer, Charles Stenholm, Larry Combest, the Business firm Agronomics Committee, State Senator Robert Duncan, and Country Representatives Carl Isett, Gary Walker and David Swinford. The experience gained during a semester as an intern has been invaluable to the students. Several erstwhile interns are at present employed past the offices in which they worked.

Generous donors take contributed funds making this program possible. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and the Texas Corn Producers Board originally established the program. Others who have joined in supporting the program include Plains Cotton fiber Growers, Texas Corn Growers, Texas Peanut Producers, Texas Wheat Producers, Mr. Dan Taylor, Texas Farm Bureau, South Texas Cotton and Grain and others.
