"The fact that these 24 farmers, who started only a little over a year ago, have come this far in so short a time is a real tribute to the tenacity, ingenuity, and hard work of our farmers" said Jeff Boswell, TAC general manager.

The new location will allow TAC to process up to 150,000 pounds of catfish per week.

"Our marketing efforts have been extremely successful," said Boswell.

"Our fish are much fresher than fish raised in other states.In fact we can harvest in the morning and have those fish on the dinner plate in Houston, Austin or San Antonio the same day," Boswell said.
