| Impact Report | NMACAA Natural Resource Tour The New Mexico Agriculture Agents Association is the professional development organization for New Mexico Ag Agents. This allows members to be recognized for strong programming, service awards, and gives members the opportunity to interact with other agents at the national convention. The tour objective was to disseminate information to ag agents about natural resources and conservation practices in New Mexico. Myself, and the natural resource committee scheduled a two day tour in Northern New Mexico showcasing different operations. The participants learned about fire ecology, small diameter wood products, elk population control and salt cedar eradication and control. Fifteen agents attended the tour. Agents reported that it was beneficial to see the affects of salt cedar removal, habitat control, small business economic development and were inspired to take ideas back to their own counties. |
