BISBEE — A study by the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension and one by the University of California Davis both appear to indicate that wolves have an impact on the health of stock grazing on public and private lands.

BISBEE — Should a feedlot in McNeal be approved by the county Planning and Zoning Commission? The answer from the community has been a loud “no.”Applicant Ramon Bojorquez was required to contact property owners to get their opinions on the feedlot proposal on a 1,052 acre property west of U.S Route 191 between Davis Road and Lee Road.

Ed Curry, owner of Curry Seed and Chili Company and a fourth-generation farmer, has built a reputation over the past 50-some years as a producer of the best organic, chile seeds that farmers and home growers can depend on to produce strong, reliable crops. kAmw6 H2D 2 A:@?66C :?

TUCSON — Gov. Katie Hobbs pointed out her work to accomplish those protections at the University of Arizona’s 2025 Water Resources and Research Center Annual Conference earlier in the week. “Since day one, we have fought to protect the groundwater supplies of our rural communities," she said.

PORTAL — “The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind; The answer is blowing in the wind.”The chorus from the oft-covered 1963 Bob Dylan hit still rings true for those who gathered on a windy Saturday under the ramada at the Chiricahua Desert Museum just across the state line in Rodeo, New Mexico. It was an opportunity to dust off the old protest songs of the 60s and 70s with a renewed vent at the current Establishment by those who rallied decades ago to fight for the rights of all Americans.
