Great read from the New York Times, please read if you get a chance on how farmers are struggling. very Interesting article. It’s so sad to see how many cuts the Trump administration made to the agricultural infrastructure that helps keep America fed. Beyond that, so many jobs were eliminated that provided farmers with the support and resources they need. These decisions have real consequences for our farmers, rural communities, and our food system.

After the departure of thousands of federal workers, rural communities report problems obtaining loans, grants, technical assistance and support for infrastructure and other services.

What a wonderful visit to Questa, Nuevo Mexico to visit with Bobby Ortega. This is his land our team did, soil testing to begin a collaboration to begin to farm his beautiful land!
