| Impact Report | The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow program utilizes members of the communities to collect precipitation data across the state and nation. This program provides a platform for many producers who are currently collecting data to have credible data that reflects what is actually happening on particular parcels of land. Socorro and Catron County residence received training on collection of data and received a rain gauge if records were kept and turned into the website. With an effort from the FSA and NRCS a total of 21 producers are collecting rainfall data. Emphasis was placed on the program due to the lack of data going into the national drought monitor, which is the model being utilized to establish criteria for payments to be made to producers through USDA programs. |
