Climate Change and Agriculture |
Will we be growing citrus fruit in central New Mexico?
 Global warming, climate change, climate variability, whatever you call it, it all means one thing--the climate and the environment are being altered due to anthropogenic (human-caused) forces. So what does this mean for New Mexico farmers? Here in the southwest we should prepare ourselves for longer, warmer and dryer growing conditions. This is what the MRCOG Agriculture Collaborative heard on an already blazing hot day this July.

Exploring Local Wheatgrass and Raspberries |
|
This article was originally featured on Duke City Fix.
As the weather warms, we start itchin' to get outside and spend time on big green farms. So we gathered up our farmy friends and headed over to ARCA Organics and Heidi's Raspberry Farm in Corrales.
Post rain, the smell in the air was earthy and lovely. Big cottonwoods dripped and birds chattered.

Rail Runner Celebrates Two Million Riders |

Santa Fe commuter Valerie Gladden became the two millionth passenger to ride the New Mexico Rail Runner Express. The 50-year-old Motor Vehicle Clerk says she boards the train at the Los Lunas Rail Runner Station each morning, and takes it into Santa Fe where she makes the short walk directly to her office from the station. “There are so many things I enjoy about riding the Rail Runner,” said Valerie. “I get a lot done on the train; sometimes I read, or pay bills. I’ve even met some of my best friends on the train. It’s great – everybody should give it a try.”
The Valencia County resident says she’s been taking the train to work for a year-and-a-half now. Gladden says prior to the Rail Runner extension to Santa Fe, she would take the train from Los Lunas to the US 550/Sandoval County station and catch the Park and Ride shuttle into Santa Fe. She says now she doesn’t have to worry about making the connection in Bernalillo, and she can get on the train and sit back and enjoy the whole ride.
