| Impact Report | The Socorro office receives over 400 phone calls a year from homeowners needing information on gardening, pests, tree questions and general landscaping. In order to help clientele gain all the needed information, the Agent hosted 7 classes on various horticulture topics. Seventy-six clients participated in organic gardening, entomology, pecans, hoop houses, intro to gardening, soils, and vegetable production. Attendees gain knowledge of many practical applications that assist them with their home projects. 4 producers have established pecan orchards after the presentation on nut trees, 1 hoop house was constructed and utilized, and several homeowners were successful in their gardens for this year. Workshops are developed to reduce the number of calls, but once clientele found out the wealth of information to obtain they become frequent uses of these resources. |
