In this episode of Connecting the Dots, we sit down with Dan Hunter, State Executive Director of the Farm Service Agency, to talk about agriculture, leadership, and the role FSA plays in supporting farmers, ranchers, and rural communities across Texas.

From helping producers navigate programs and resources to understanding the challenges facing today’s agriculture industry, Dan shares what it takes to serve at the state level and how organizations like the Farm Service Agency help strengthen local economies. We also dive into the importance of agriculture in communities like Stephenville, the future of rural development, and how producers continue to shape the identity and growth of the region.
