The 2nd Annual Acoma Ag Day was attended by 85 participants. The participants who attended each of the above events were provided with knowledge on USDA programs being offered by NRCS, FSA and Agriculture Statistics and Rural Development. The events allowed agents from the RAIPAP Community Outreach & Assistance Program the opportunity to develop interact with participants which in turn develops trust.
