On this week’s PAC Show, Dan Jackson covered a wide range of agricultural, political, and current-events topics impacting Texas and the nation.
A significant portion of the program was dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of legendary agricultural broadcaster Jim Stewart, often referred to as the “Dean of Ag Broadcasters.” Dan reflected on Stewart’s decades of service to agriculture, his influence on generations of farmers and ranchers, and the lasting impact he made on agricultural journalism throughout Texas and the United States.
The discussion also focused heavily on the growing threat of the New World Screwworm and the concerns surrounding its continued spread toward Texas. The hosts examined ongoing federal and state response efforts, the potential economic consequences for the livestock industry, and why ranchers and agricultural producers are paying close attention to developments along the southern border. They discussed the importance of protecting America’s food supply and the role that government agencies must play in combating the pest before it causes widespread damage.
The show also touched on the highly publicized Karmelo Anthony case, with Dan offering commentary on the legal proceedings, public reaction, media coverage, and broader questions surrounding justice, accountability, and public perception.
In addition, listeners heard updates on several other agriculture-related issues affecting producers across the region, along with discussion on national political developments and current events making headlines across Texas and the country.
As always, the PAC Show provided listeners with a blend of agriculture news, political insight, and commentary from a West Texas perspective.
