This agent was contacted in the spring of 2008 by a writer with the National Geographic Magazine. She was seeking information about a picture taken in Roosevelt County in 1957. After a lengthy discussion this agent ended up being quoted in the National Geographic Magazine, September 2008 issue. After the release of that issue to news stands this agent was subsequently interviewed for a press release from the New Mexico State Communications Department. That interview has now been carried in two different local papers. This agent has also received numerous personal contacts as well as phone calls and emails about the National Geographic Article. This has brought positive attention to the Cooperative Extension Service as well as the occupation of an Agriculture Agent. |
