Join NRCS Chief Aubrey J.D. Bettencourt as she “Dishes the Dirt” on how the agency is helping a small, family-operated farm in New Mexico grow fresh, organic produce. The agency provided financial and technical assistance to help Mathew Ladegaard modernize a nearby acequia to deliver scarce water resources via precision irrigation to his high tunnel crops. The practice maximizes water and nutrient delivery for healthy plant growth and higher yields.
