2020 is shaping up to be one of the most extraordinary drought years in the region since 2012. Please join us for a discussion about the developing drought in Eastern New Mexico and the southern High Plains. All involved with livestock production and farming in the Southern High Plains are invited. Experienced cattle growers Mimi and Tom Sidwell will explain how they plan for and manage their rangelands and herd during drought, how 2020 measures up to previous droughts, and their experience with marketing. James Stewart (Manager at Fort Union Ranch and member of the High Plains Grassland Alliance) will talk about trigger dates and the importance of following through on drought plans. Katie Meiklejohn will give an overview of the High Plains Grasslands Alliance. Scientists will give summaries on the drought outlook and monsoon expectations, and a new tool "Grass-cast." Join an ongoing discussion about how drought is impacting you and / or the people you work with.
