New Mexico lawmakers suggest expanding farm programs statewide to help address at-risk youth

New Mexico lawmakers meeting in Las Cruces Tuesday morning said they’d like to replicate an agricultural program that offers jobs to at-risk youth to the communities that need it most across the state. The discussion came as legislators evaluate how to address the state's 32,000 young residents who neither work nor attend school.
