“Right now, we’re just looking to make sure we take care of our ag employees, focusing heavily on our resources like our water and being able to look at and plan ahead for certain prices with fertilizers, and fuels," Dinsmore said. "Machinery costs are difficult right now. Anything we can do to be able to work with our state legislators and our governor would be really helpful.”
While in Yuma, Gov. Hobbs also visited the Amberly’s Place domestic violence shelter.
