Enchanting Stories of New Mexico - Growing crops at military forts in New Mexico

from The Fresh Chile Company Podcast · host Michael Swickard, Ph.D.

When talking about the development of agriculture in Southern New Mexico I always like to talk about military forts 150 years ago like Fort Selden just north of Las Cruces. While we all have watched Hollywood movies of forts, they are not true to what made a huge change in Southern New Mexico. Let me tell you about the agriculture of crops in 1880s New Mexico.Love this Podcast? Check out our website at The Fresh Chile Company.
