Flores, dean of New Mexico State University’s College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, and New Mexico Secretary of Agriculture Jeff Witte will continue their listening sessions for a third year.

“The best way to know about the agricultural issues is to listen to the stakeholders in the state,” Flores said.

The first sessions will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, at the Grant County Convention Center in Silver City.

“We look forward to meeting with New Mexico residents,” Witte said. “These sessions provide them the opportunity to engage in a face-to-face conversation with us.”

Two additional sessions are scheduled: June 17 in Farmington and July 17 at the Eddy County Fairgrounds in Artesia.
