Joe Paul Lack
Precinct 2
Show InfoJoe Paul Lack was born in 1955 in Las Cruces and has been in agriculture ever since. He has operated a custom hay business and after marrying his wife Rosie, the couple began farming in Hatch in the late 70s.
His agriculture degree from NMSU has been put to good use with his extensive farming operations stretching from Caballo down to Rincon. He has branched out from hay to include cotton, corn, chile, pecans and a registered Brangus cow calf operation.
He feels water is the lifeline of the Ag community and that’s a large part of why he is serving on the EBID board.
