los chavez: RURAL RETAIL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY - 07/28/10 12:56 PM
I've been told that when WalMart made plans to open its first store in Belen, New Mexico some years ago, they thought it was bound to be a small store. What these business people from Arkansas did not realize was that Belen is a vital small town known as the Hub City in New Mexico, the junction of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and the I-25 and I-40 corridors. Belen is an easy commute to a population base of over 3/4 million consumers in and around Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. The original WalMart store was a smash success, and soon … (0 comments)

los chavez: A RAINY DAY IN BOSQUE FARMS - 07/26/10 01:47 PM
Bosque Farms. With a weed, the trick is to uproot it while the fertile sandy loam soil is wet and soft. You’re going to get muddy, but there is no choice if you want to save your veggies without prior service from your tiller! Uprooting by hand is impossible when it’s dry. The plants break off at the ground, leaving all those roots to produce several tops instead of just one. You’d be just making more work for yourself. After the rain is a good time to pull weeds. Most will ask, “Why get rid of one weed at a time … (1 comments)

On January 21st, the Valencia County Commission voted 3-2 to approve a zoning change on 40 acres of irrigated Rio Grande Valley farm land from A-P (Agricultural Preservation) to RR2 (residential 2.5 acre minimum), despite a unanimous recommendation against the proposal by the Valencia County Planning and Zoning Board, and despite nearly unanimous opposition from neighboring property owners.
