NEW MEXICO'S WHEAT CROP WILL BE RATHER MEAGER THIS YEAR, DUE TO THE DROUGHT. DALENE HODNETT WITH THE NEW MEXICO FARM AND LIVESTOCK BUREAU SAYS WHEAT…GROWN IN EASTERN NEW MEXICO…IS A DRYLAND CROP, WITH NO IRRIGATION. AND THE LACK OF RAIN HAS HAD A HUGE AFFECT ON WHEAT FARMERS.
HODNETT SAYS IT'S DIFFICULT FOR WHEAT FARMERS TO SWITCH TO ANOTHER CROP…SINCE THE WATER RESOURCES JUST AREN'T THERE.
