Welcome to Ag This Week, sponsored by the New Mexico Farm & Livestock Bureau. This week’s podcast features an on the ground report from NMF&LB President Craig Ogden who is a cotton and alfalfa famer near Loving. We also talk to Marshal Wilson, Co-Director of the Southwest Border Food Protection and Emergency Preparedness Center and Dr. Frannie Miller, Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Agricultural Business at New Mexico State University, as they plan for carcass disposal from mass animal mortality events. The New Mexico Agricultural Mediation Program is presented by Eduardo Medina and Britney Lardner explains New Mexico Ag in the Classroom’s grant program for raised-bed school gardens. Finally, we wrap up with a look to the next generation with ag educator Trevor Wax, the NM FFA District VI Rookie Teacher of the Year.
