Brush and Weed Control Education Program
Impact Reports
Ten new demonstration/research trials were established on four species in four counties. County agents and private landowners were present or aware of the trials as they were established. The 2007 New Mexico Vegetation Management Association Annual Conference included several speakers addressing current rangeland brush and weed topics. A total of 246 registered participants received new technology information on problem rangeland plants in New Mexico.
THE AGENT WORKS WITH FARMERS AND RANCHERS THAT HAVE BRUSH AND WEED PROBLEMS . COUNTY EXTENSION PROVIDES ON SIGHT EVALUATIONS TO PRODUCERS BY IDENTIFYING THE PLANT AND RECOMENDING HERBICIDES OR MECANICAL TREATMENTS AND BIOLOGICAL CONTROLS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. MORA AND SAN MIGUEL COUNTIES HAVE STARTED A WEED DISTRICT TO IDENTIFY INFESTED AREAS WITH GSI LOCATING AND OBTAIN FUNDING FOR HERBICIDE AND EQUIPMENT. I HAVE HELPED 12 PRODUCERS THIS YEAR.
