LUBBOCK, TX – Today, Representative Jodey Arrington (TX-19) visited SIMFLO, a family-owned pump manufacturing company, to tour its new vertical turbine test facility – the most expansive in North America.

Whether its ground water or surface water, irrigation systems are critical to supporting U.S. agriculture and energy production, which provide energy independence and food security to our nation.
