The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is gearing up to conduct the Agricultural Labor Survey, which is conducted twice each year. The survey will collect information about hired labor from more than 900 farmers and ranchers in the six state Mountain Region including Arizona, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.

“Labor is obviously critical to farming operations and data about the use of hired workers helps administer farm labor programs,” said Bill Meyer, Director of the NASS Mountain Regional Field Office.

Additional parts have been ordered for an ongoing refurbishment project of the National Weather Service radar site at Pueblo

The site was removed from service Wednesday morning, allowing technicians to replace original breakers and cables with new, modern fuses and cables that are expected to extend the useful life of the site for another decade. Similar upgrades are taking place across the NWS network of radar sites.
