Agri-Nature Center in Los Ranchos serving as model for expansion in Corrales
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – The Larry P. Abraham Agri-Nature Center in Los Ranchos was created to be a space for the community to share agricultural resources and learn. Now, Corrales wants in on the action.
“The Agri-Nature Center provides a lot for the community and provides valuable agricultural education, demonstration of agricultural techniques that work well in our environment in our climate, and helps support local businesses at the same time,” Agri-Nature Center Agricultural Program Director William Carleton said.
The center focuses on home-grown foods, sustainable farming, regenerative agriculture through food preservation, and education through hands-on learning. With programs like animal husbandry, water conservation, research into new agricultural technology, and growers’ markets.
“They have all these workshops, land set aside for certain type of gardens, agricultural activities, cooking, and we don’t currently have something like that here in Corrales,” Dean Sherer said with the Corrales Historical Society.
The goal is to educate people and get them involved in more sustainable practices of agriculture to promote more agricultural activities.
Both the Agri-Nature Center and the people in Corrales believe that if they can expand by adding more of these centers in the state, they can become hubs for more and more New Mexicans to get involved in and learn from. “The Agri-Nature Center serves the residents of Los Ranchos, but also people throughout the metro area and beyond,” Carleton said. “This past year, we served 46 different zip codes in New Mexico at our workshops and events.”
Two of their programs in particular have been so popular, they’re looking to expand them. Such as a community garden started this year. This is one of the programs Corrales is looking to replicate in its own community.
“There’s been so much positive feedback with the community garden, and the idea would be to expand plots,” Carleton said. “Right now we have 30, which filled up this year.”
Another popular program they’re looking to expand is a demonstration kitchen, which up until now has only been used for workshops. Going forward, they want to make the equipment available for people to use. Such as freeze-drying foods.
“I see it as a community resource for learning how important agriculture is for us in New Mexico, and if we can sustain it in a better way, if we can learn new techniques to help our gardens grow better and larger,” Sherer said.

Storm System to bring return of rainfall to New Mexico, mountain snow
This morning temperatures have fallen into the low 40s in Albuquerque with mostly clear skies. Today, mild to warm high temperatures are expected in New Mexico with sunshine throughout most of the day in the Duke City before bit more cloud coverage comes in from the west. In addition, an approaching upper-level low pressure system will push into western New Mexico and southern Colorado this afternoon bringing the return of rainfall and mountain snow.
Western New Mexico is expected to experience showers and the potential for storms, while higher elevations in southwest Colorado, and parts of the northern mountains, will experience snowfall. The National Weather Service (NWS) will issue a Winter Weather Advisory in La Plata County and a portion of the San Juan Mountains from 3 pm today until 8 am on Monday. This will be primarily for gusty winds and the accumulating snowfall in higher elevations. This storm system will also bring breezy to windy conditions across the state today and primarily to the central mountain chain on Monday.
After tomorrow, another low-pressure system will move through on Thursday of this week. A surge of moisture will accompany that storm system and bring additional rainfall and mountain snow to the Land of Enchantment and southern Colorado. Moisture ahead of that system will also bring more rain chances across the region on Tuesday and Wednesday. High temperatures will also continue to drop through this week. Have a great Sunday!

5 Tennessee football takeaways from win over New Mexico State
Tennessee football played nowhere near its best but still beat New Mexico State 42-9 in its homecoming game.
The 20th-ranked Vols (7-3, 3-3 SEC) took a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter, which was easily enough to coast to the victory on Nov. 15.
Tennessee plays its final SEC road game at Florida on Nov. 22. Here are five takeaways from this win over New Mexico State (3-7).
Tennessee football vs. New Mexico State takeaways
Vols scored sixth defensive touchdown of 2025
Cornerback William Wright, a sixth-year senior, picked off a pass deflected by Tyre West and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter.
It was Tennessee’s sixth defensive touchdown this season, one shy of the single-season program record set in 1971. Colton Hood scored on an interception return and a fumble return. Kaleb Beasley and Joshua Josephs each scored on a fumble return. Wright and Edrees Farooq each scored on an interception return.
In 1971, the Vols scored seven defensive TDs on six interception returns and one fumble return.
Joey Aguilar cracked top 10 list for TD passes
Quarterback Joey Aguilar had some highs and lows in an abbreviated outing. He had a 27-yard TD run and a 15-yard TD pass. But he also threw two interceptions, tying his season high.
Aguilar finished 17-of-23 passing for 204 yards, one TD and two interceptions. And he rushed for 34 yards and one score. He left the game early in the fourth quarter with UT leading 42-3.
Aguilar extended his 200-yard streak. He has passed for at least 200 yards in all 34 starts of his Division I career, including 10 at UT and 24 at Appalachian State. That’s the longest active streak in FBS.
Aguilar’s 22nd TD pass tied Peyton Manning (1995) and Casey Clausen (2001) for 10th place on UT’s single-season list. Notably, Manning and Clausen had more TD passes in other seasons. Manning owns the school record with 36 TD passes in 1997.
In relief of Aguilar, Jake Merklinger and George MacIntyre each completed one pass.
Braylon Staley heating up among nation’s top freshmen
Redshirt freshman wide receiver Braylon Staley continued his recent scoring surge with a 15-yard TD catch, marking his fourth TD in the past four games and sixth of the season. Staley finished with five catches for 58 yards and one TD.
Staley has distinguished himself as one of the top freshmen in college football. He entered the game leading all FBS freshmen in receiving yards and ranking second in receptions and TD catches.
Star Thomas scored against his former team
Star Thomas, a former New Mexico State standout, scored on a 21-yard TD run. He was an All-Conference USA performer for New Mexico State, playing alongside quarterback Diego Pavia there in 2022-23.
Thomas led a deep rotation of running backs for the Vols, who rushed for 194 yards. DeSean Bishop, a former Karns High standout, led with 80 yards and one TD on 16 carries.
Defense added to SEC-leading takeaways total
Despite UT’s shortcomings on defense this season, it entered the game tied for the SEC lead in takeaways. The Vols added two more takeaways against New Mexico State for a total of 18 on the season.
Wright’s TD was the top highlight. But in the first quarter, freshman cornerback Ty Redmond made a one-handed interception over the middle for his second pick of the season. It set up a touchdown three plays later.
Defensive lineman Daevin Hobbs had nine tackles and two pass breakups, both career highs. And Hood had a career-high seven tackles.
UT’s defense was shorthanded due to several players listed on the inactive list. Linebacker Arion Carter (foot), Josephs (unspecified), edge rusher Jordan Ross (unspecified) and defensive back Boo Carter (unspecified) were not available to play.
