Farmers and ranchers play a critical role in New Mexico’s economy. As a $4 billion industry, our farmers help drive the economy and have shaped our state’s history, as many growers in New Mexico come from families that have cultivated land for generations.

America has made tremendous strides toward ensuring and protecting our civil rights and liberties, but those rights are only real if every American benefits from them equally.
