Seminar 2 - Las Cruces, NM
NMAL Class 16 Trade, Communication, and Self-Awareness * Pecans are the only native nut to America. * There are seven USDA inspection facilities in New Mexico. * The NM Food Bank Association distributed over 48 million lbs of food in 2022. * If you have to be a pain, be the sharpest in the room. * Be respectful, not dismissive when having a persuasive conversation. * Even in difficult conversations, the Golden Rule is the Golden Rule for a reason. * The largest cattle crossing in the world sits on the U.S./Mexico border at Santa Teresa and is privately owned by Chihuahua’s State Livestock Association. * They cross about 600,000 head of cattle annually. * NM Farmers face a multitude of challenges to keep their operations running smoothly, including labor shortages. These are just a few quick snippets of information that were part of my take-a-ways from the NMAL Class 16 seminar in Las Cruces as we looked at Trade, Communication, and Self-Awareness.
