Ciudad Juárez, June 21, 2026 – The Chihuahua state government, through its ‘Cuenta Conmigo en el Campo’ program, distributed cattle feed to livestock producers in four ejidos of Ciudad Juárez. This initiative aims to provide essential support to the agricultural community, particularly those involved in cattle ranching, facing various challenges in the region.
State Program ‘Cuenta Conmigo en el Campo’ in Action
The distribution of feed took place on Sunday, June 21, 2026, reaching producers in several key ejidos within Ciudad Juárez. This action is a direct implementation of the state’s broader agricultural support program, ‘Cuenta Conmigo en el Campo’, which translates to ‘Count on Me in the Countryside’. The program is designed to bolster the rural economy and ensure the sustainability of agricultural practices across the state of Chihuahua.
Supporting the Livestock Sector
The livestock sector in Ciudad Juárez, and indeed throughout Chihuahua, plays a crucial role in the local economy. However, producers often contend with environmental factors such as drought, as well as economic pressures. The provision of cattle feed is a timely intervention to help maintain the health and productivity of herds, thereby safeguarding the livelihoods of many families dependent on livestock farming.
According to a representative from the state government, the selection of the four ejidos for this initial distribution was based on an assessment of need and the concentration of livestock producers in those areas. The specific quantity of feed distributed was tailored to the number of cattle owned by each beneficiary, ensuring equitable allocation of resources.
Impact on Local Producers
Local producers expressed gratitude for the assistance. “This feed comes at a critical time,” stated one farmer from an ejido, who wished to remain anonymous. “The cost of feed has been rising, and this support from the state makes a significant difference in our ability to keep our cattle healthy and productive.”
The ‘Cuenta Conmigo en el Campo’ program encompasses various forms of aid beyond just feed distribution. It also includes technical assistance, access to improved agricultural practices, and financial guidance for farmers and ranchers. The program’s overarching goal is to foster resilience and growth within Chihuahua’s agricultural communities.
Future Plans and Continued Support
State officials indicated that this distribution is part of an ongoing effort and that further support initiatives are planned for the coming months. The government is committed to continuous engagement with agricultural producers to understand their evolving needs and to adapt the ‘Cuenta Conmigo en el Campo’ program accordingly.
This initiative aligns with broader state-level strategies to enhance food security and promote economic stability in rural areas. By investing in the foundational sectors such as livestock, the government aims to create a more robust and self-sufficient agricultural landscape in Chihuahua.
The distribution event was conducted smoothly, with local authorities overseeing the logistics to ensure that the feed reached the intended beneficiaries efficiently. The collaborative effort between state agencies and local communities underscores the program’s commitment to a participatory approach in rural development.
The positive reception from the producers highlights the immediate and tangible benefits of such targeted interventions. It also signals a continued focus by the state government on addressing the practical challenges faced by its agricultural workforce.
