>
> WESLACO ? The message was urgent as local farmers, scientists and
> others gathered Wednesday at the Kika de la Garza Subtropical
> Agricultural Research Center (SARC) in Weslaco to discuss the center?s
> future.
>
> Scientists have worked at the location, operated by the U.S.
> Department of Agriculture, since 1931, studying citrus, potatoes,
> vegetables, sugar and the invasive pests and diseases that affect
> them.
>
> ?Now this place is listed to be closed,? said Ray Prewett, president
> of Texas Citrus Mutual. ?Not reduced. Closed.?
>
> The U.S. House of Representatives passed an agricultural appropriation
> bill this month that will eliminate the lab, along with nine others
> across the country, unless the bill is changed when the Senate
> considers it later this year.
>
> ?The Committee directs the agency to focus its resources on only the
> highest priority research,? the appropriations committee report reads.
>
> Those affected in the Rio Grande Valley argued that they should be
> among the highest priority research centers, particularly in light of
> their South Texas home.
>
> ?There is no other lab like this anywhere in the United States, on the
> border with Mexico,? Prewett said. It?s ?a strategic location.?
>
> SARC?s location allows it to provide a first line of defense against
> invasive species and diseases that spread from Mexico through trade
> and agriculture, advocates argue.
>
> Texas recently surpassed Arizona as the largest fruit and vegetable
> point of entry to the U.S., bringing more potential pests this way.
> Additionally, violence in Mexico has hindered USDA efforts to work on
> surveying diseases including the devastating citrus greening.
>
> ?If we can?t stop them before they cross the Rio Grande river, we want
> to stop them as quickly as possible once they get here,? Prewett said.
>
> SARC takes pride in being able to react more quickly than other
> research institutions to respond to new diseases, conference attendees
> said.
>
> The center is the only one on the U.S. mainland that researches
> tropical diseases and pests, one of only four that does work on honey
> bees and one of only four that has a quarantine study area.
>
> The center employs 113 scientists, technicians and other staff
> members. A Texas A&M University analysis estimated the region would
> lose those jobs, plus more than 100 more indirectly if the center is
> closed.
>
> Salomon Torres, district director for U.S. Rep. Rub?n Hinojosa, said
> the effort to save SARC isn?t a lost cause yet.
>
> ?The merits are there ? what remains is convincing key appropriators
> on the Senate side,? he said. ?It?s a matter of refreshing their
> memory.?
>
> The bill will likely be taken up by the Senate in September or October.
>
> ?We know there?s budget issues, we know there?s going to be cuts, but
> we?ve really been targeted here,? Prewett said. ?It?s a big deal for
> Weslaco, the Rio Grande Valley, the state of Texas and
> internationally, as we see it.?
