Rafael Rovirosa, Founder
It is my vision to see Western farmers continue to thrive. As a fifth-generation farmer with more than a decade of experience managing Stahmann Farms – a well-established 3,200-acre pecan farm in Southern New Mexico, I know the importance and value of planning decades into the future. To ensure the ongoing success in Western farming, it’s crucial to invest in ourselves and future generations by cultivating crops that can thrive through both favorable and challenging times and markets.
