NM agricultural community pushes for change of focus at NMSU
Audio story here:
This week the Regents of New Mexico State University appointed an interim president calling on Dr. Manuel Pacheco to serve until a more permanent replacement is found following the departure of Dr. Barbara Couture.
In the midst of beginning a national presidential search the agricultural community at large is asking for the NMSU ship to steer in a different direction.
The regents held an open meeting Wednesday to announce their decision and for the first time since the controversy regarding Dr. Barbara Couture’s departure began, they allowed public comment in the process.
Of the people who spoke to the regents an overwhelming amount asked the regents to focus on the university’s land grant mission.
Board member of the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association Joe Delk encouraged the regents to consider the role of agriculture and engineering.
Delk-“ Over the years we in the agriculture and livestock industry have felt a drift away from the fundamental land grant mission of this university. We would fully support a move back in that direction and keep those fundamental elements in your mind as you are tasked with the job of finding a new president for the university.”
Farm and Livestock Bureau Executive director Matt Rush says NMSU is at a pivotal point in its agricultural history. Rush says it’s a great opportunity for the university to set a new course.
Rush-“We feel like the university has lost focus on what’s at the core. Maybe we’ve tried doing too many things and we need to get back to focusing on what we know best and what is at the heart and soul of this university.”
The Regents plan to quickly begin the search for the next NMSU president and indicated that the appointment of Dr. Pacheco should be for no longer than one year.
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Morrill Act which established land grant colleges. It provided all eligible states with 30,000 acres of federal land to be used toward establishing educational institutions. It was through the Morrill Act the New Mexico State University was founded in 1888.

Navajo Nation to use drones to monitor crops

The drone would be used to watch for changes in crops grown
by the Navajo Agricultural Products Industry. CEO Tsosie Lewis tells
the Farmington Daily Times it would replace a contractor's manned plane
flyovers and be cheaper.
The Navajo farming operation grows potatoes, alfalfa,
pinto beans, corn and winter wheat on 72,000 acres of farmland south of Farmington
NM Democratic Party files straight ticket lawsuit
.jpg)
The New
Mexico Democratic Party has filed a lawsuit challenging the lack of a straight
party ticket voting option in the general election.
The lawsuit was filed
Thursday with the state Supreme Court and also contends that ballots improperly
have the emblems of political parties next to the names of presidential
candidates. In the past, party symbols were next to the place on the ballot
allowing voters to make a single mark to support a party's entire slate of
candidates.
The lawsuit names Secretary of State Dianna Duran as the defendant.
She contends state law doesn't authorize the straight ticket option. The
lawsuit asks the court to restore a straight ticket option on ballots that will
be cast. It doesn't seek to invalidate absentee ballots cast since voting
started Tuesday.

Labor: Hiring up in August, job openings down
New Mexico Business Weekly - U.S. employers advertised fewer jobs in August than July, but filled the most positions in three months — a mixed signal for the job market. The U.S. Labor Department said Oct. 10 that job openings dropped by 32,000 to 3.56 million in August. July’s openings were also revised lower. However, employers hired 4.39 million people in August – the most since May. According to an Associated Press report in the Albuquerque Journal, the number of available jobs has risen about 63 percent since the recession ended three years ago. However, it remains below the more than 4 million jobs a month advertised before the recession. Read More News New Mexico
