Farmers fear Farm Bill harms southern New Mexico
The 2018 Farm Bill proposal faces criticism from the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty and partners who warn that cuts to SNAP and eligibility changes would hit Congressional District 2 hard.

Community advocates pressure for a bill supporting farmers and access to food.
