Genesis Gardens Hopes for New Mexico Certified Chile Status
Genesis Gardens Homestead on Tucumcari's north side aims to earn the New Mexico Certified Chile designation after a NMCA visit. Co owner Sally Baker notes fields meet health rules and the stamp would certify their chiles as NM certified. The farm may be the region's sole NM certified grower and will enter the Chile Taste Off in Socorro. The heat range varies from mild to extra hot and drought, grasshopper damage, and irrigation challenges affect growth.

Water conservation in Tucumcari aims to boost scarce resources
Researchers at New Mexico State University’s Rex E Kirksey Agricultural Science Center study tillage and nitrogen strategies to improve corn yield and water use in semiarid New Mexico. A three year comparison of conventional, strip and no tillage plus two nitrogen rates shows strip tillage enhances resource efficiency. The work, published in Agronomy Journal, involves Omololu Idowu and others.
