Eight workshop/demonstration projects were presented with approximately 20% of the affected producers participating. Of the participants, 90% adopted a brush control program of some sort depending on their particular problems. 50% of these have completed an active brush control project with 10% completing a long term plan for brush control. In the area of salt cedar control, 100% of participants have completed chemical application with 20% of participants involved in the NRCS EQIP program and 80% participation is solely producer financed.
Loco weed participation was slight county wide with the continuing drought and the appearance of the striped loco bug. We did have a heavy infestation in the North part of Union County and South part of Colfax County and several areas in Mora County and San Miguel County.1000% of the involved producers practiced stringent monitoring and kept preparations in place for control or management changes. All producers were given the opportunity to participate in workshops and up-date meetings concerning loco weed. 100% of these participants indicated that they would up-date their long range plans to include new ideas.
The county emergency agriculture plan incorporated weed invasions into the overall county emergency plan in 2008, and enabled this year the opportunity for the producers to practice cooperative control efforts and allow for shared grazing in areas with heavy infestations allowed to use neighbors pastures until the greening of native warm season grasses within the infestation.
Ongoing research is enabling us to utilize additional management practices as they are proven.
Work was done in cooperation with the USDA/ARS Poison Plant Lab to insure funding for the research program in the future years. Programs were given and participation was heavy in Colorado and Oklahoma with the new cooperation of these states participation from NRCS and Forest Service.
