Southern New Mexico farmers on the Rio Grande River will start to see water flow June 1 out of an upstream reservoir. Still, farmers who grow products such as the famous Hatch chiles or pecans that fill the region will likely only get about 5 inches of water per acre off the river. Other parched farmers farther east along the Pecos River are no better off.
Meet Luke Garrabrant, a young Ohio farmer full of enthusiasm for the field of agriculture. He ll be reporting in throughout the growing season as part of the DTN View From the Cab feature.
