New funding initiative will support New Mexico's farmers and producers while reducing water losses
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), and U.S. Representatives Teresa Leger Fernández (D-N.M.), Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), and Gabe Vasquez (D-N.M.) are welcoming an announcement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Water-Saving Commodities Program to support agricultural production while reducing water losses in communities across the West.
This update to the Water Saving Commodities Program initially announced in August follows consistent efforts by the NM Delegation to secure additional resources to help New Mexican agricultural producers address drought. New funding announced by the USDA includes $15 million to support acequias through a partnership with the New Mexico and Colorado State Associations of Conservation Districts and $45 million of funding from the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) to support the preliminary selection of three Congressionally-authorized Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Irrigation Projects including the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project in New Mexico.

SANTA FE – State releases ePrevention, a new online screening and intervention tool to combat alcohol misuse in New Mexico.
ePrevention leverages the power of E-SBIRT (Electronic Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment), an evidence-based, public health approach that empowers individuals to assess their alcohol consumption, receive personalized feedback and access necessary support services.
"Alcohol misuse is a major contributor to injuries and deaths in New Mexico," says Rebecca Neudecker, the Section Manager for the Office of Alcohol Misuse Prevention at the New Mexico Department of Health. "The hope with ePrevention is that we can connect with more people who want to seek assistance with lowering their alcohol use and even dependence" added Neudecker.
