| Impact Report | A new project undertaken in 2008 was to collect rainfall amounts and forage production data for the entire county. This agent was asked by the Farm Service Agency (FSA) County Committee to assist the Natural Resource Conservation Service in developing a better means of assessing the health of Roosevelt County grazing lands. This data will be used by the FSA County Committee to assist producers with grazing losses occurred during a given year. This agent feels this opportunity will greatly benefit county clientele and establish a useful database for future use. The undertaking of this program has also allowed for the collaboration with the Water Resource Specialist based in Las Cruces to collect rainfall data for use with the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS) system. Data from our county will not only help Roosevelt County residents but also people across the southwestern U.S. This has allowed for a great deal of one on one communication with producers in the county to stay current on issues happening around the county. |
