Cooperative faces long recovery after January freeze
New Mexico SBA director Cliff Hawley says the Apple Growers Cooperative at Chicayo will likely receive a lenient repayment plan for its disaster loan. Co-op director John Salazar warns most members cannot repay this year or the next two to three years as frost destroyed 65 percent of Espanola Valley trees. Output may drop to 8 000 boxes this year from 53 000 last season, with only four to five members able to ship in September. The group seeks 35 000 in federal grants and disaster relief to replace trees. A separate item notes a Western Dance at Mall of the Wilshire with proceeds to a 4-H Scholarship Fund.
