The Agriculture Committee is one of the longest-standing committees of the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce. With an average monthly attendance of 20 at meetings, networking opportunities abound, as are opportunities for education. You do not have to be employed by a direct agriculture-related business to join this committee; you only have to have an interest in our No. 1 economic engine - Agriculture!

Our mission is to develop education and awareness programs that support the region’s vast agribusiness sector such as:
Water Conservation Council (monthly meetings)
Continue to include local programs that make our community aware of the importance of an adequate, affordable and quality water supply on the South Plains. Recognize businesses implementing water-friendly practices through a monthly award program.
Ag in the Bag
Ag in the Classroom
Harvest Breakfast
We also plan other events and programs throughout the year (luncheons/breakfasts) designed to inform the general public of the importance of the agricultural industry to the local economy and consumers.
