THE CHECK WILL SOON BE IN THE MAIL FOR NEW MEXICO FARMERS AND RANCHERS STILL RECOVERING FROM THE WINTER STORM THAT LEFT A LOT OF LIVESTOCK DEAD OR UNPRODUCTIVE. THE NEW MEXICO FARM AND LIVESTOCK BUREAU HAS CREATED A FUND TO HELP THE FARMERS AND RANCHERS.
IT’S STILL UNKNOWN HOW MANY CATTLE AND OTHER LIVESTOCK DIED IN THE STORM. AND THE DAIRY INDUSTRY IS SUFFERING LOSSES EVEN WITH THE COWS THAT SURVIVED BECAUSE THE ANIMALS CAN’T PRODUCE.
