Montoya backs irrigation support in New Mexico
U S Senator Joseph M Montoya and colleagues move to block the administration plan to end the Agricultural Stabilization Service irrigation support. Montoya notes the 1975 76 budget did not request funds and vows to press for continued funding. He says ASCS spends about 350000 yearly in Northern New Mexico to maintain ditches, with about 80 percent of ASCS funds for Eddy Dona Ana Luna and Chaves counties coming from irrigation program funds. Roughly 60 percent of ASCS conservation work in New Mexico is carried out through this irrigation system.
