Ty's Take

Between the governor's drought declaration, fire season bearing down, and screwworm warnings already circulating, this is the time of year when ranchers and farmers around Luna County earn their coffee before sunrise. The heat's coming hard and early, water's tighter than it's been, and livestock diseases don't wait for anyone to get their ducks in a row—pardon the local reference. Chamber's doing the right thing pushing local business support, because small towns survive on people actually showing up for each other when the margins get thin. Keep an eye on those fire reports, know your evacuation routes, and if you see smoke, don't sit on it.
