THE WESTERNER

Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

4-H cancels another event planned at Expo New Mexico

Another 4-H event planned for Expo New Mexico has been canceled. The Northern Regional LIvestock School was scheduled to take place next month at Expo New Mexico, but NMSU sent a letter to parents last week saying it was canceled and would not be rescheduled. That's because the state will be using the dorms to house asylum seekers entering the U.S. Last week, KRQE News 13 also reported on a 4-H horse school being moved last minute to Las Cruces for the same reasons. Right now, the facilities are not being used. KRQE
