ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A record-breaking winter storm brought much needed precipitation to most of New Mexico recently, but forecasters are warning that drought conditions are expected to persist at least through February as the odds are leaning toward a drier than normal winter. New Mexico State University will be hosting a series of virtual sessions for farmers and ranchers on drought management and the water outlook starting next week. The first will focus on southern New Mexico and others are being planned for northern and central parts of the state. The latest drought map shows about two-thirds of the state classified as being in extreme or exceptional drought. |
