Farmers from the Navajo Nation are searching for ways to deal with heat and water shortage problems on the reservation.

Some farmers are being forced out of the field due to the drought. So some are looking to the New Mexico State University's Agricultural Science Center, which occupies a portion of a farm on the reservation, for new solutions.
