 The following is a production of New Mexico State University. Today's plant breeders at New Mexico State University are using plant genetics and cloning to accomplish in one year what took their predecessors at the turn of the century 10 to 20 years to develop. For example, Professor G.N. Strowman worked 10 years before he released his famous Acala Cotton in 1937. Since then, New Mexico State University plant breeders have made this variety the world's strongest and longest upland cotton fiber. Through the years, New Mexico State University alfalfa breeders developed high-producing varieties with fewer insect and disease problems. Today's alfalfa breeding program has trained 70% of all the commercial alfalfa breeders in the United States. Now breeders are engineering plants to grow on salty water and produce their own insecticides. For the early years, I'm Carla Aragon.
