| Impact Report | Socorro County, like the rest of the state and nation, was hit with some extremely cold weather this winter. Many residences dealt with immediate issues such as broken pipes and gas shortage, but when springtime came residents began to deal with the horticulture issues from the extreme cold. Agave plants that were well established were some of the first to show the devastating results turning black and clumping up on the ground almost immediately. The agent submitted an article to the newspaper after handling several calls on the condition of plants and what to do. Early in the spring, patience was encouraged to wait and see if plants would overcome and begin to reproduce. Overall the agent was able to assist residents in making decisions about their landscapes. |
