THE LATEST GOVERNMENT REPORT SHOWS 62 PERCENT OF NEW MEXICO REMAINS UNDER SOME FORM OF DROUGHT. BUT, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THREE YEARS, NO AREAS OF THE STATE ARE IN THE EXTREME OR EXCEPTIONAL CATEGORY.
STILL, THE LONG TERM DROUGHT PERSISTS…AND NEW MEXICO’S RESERVOIR LEVELS ARE, ON AVERAGE, ONLY 26 PERCENT OF NORMAL. THAT, OF COURSE, IS BAD NEWS FOR THE STATE’S FARMERS AND RANCHERS.
