Dairy farms explode into the Panhandle

George Clift and Alan Rhodes have been working with the growing number of dairymen who have been re-locating to the Panhandle either to expand their dairy operations or simply to start anew.

Clift comes from an agricultural back ground and, these days, he’s helping users of agricultural land buy and sell Texas Panhandle property.

Rhodes is an attorney with the Underwood Law Firm in Amarillo and he, too, focuses much of his practice in the agricultural arena.

The surge in the number of dairy farms in the Panhandle is somewhat of a phenomena, and it’s interesting to hear what George and Alan have to say about the trend.
