On today's program, we speak with cactus and yucca farmer Hoven Riley. He'll discuss landscaping with native yucca, water conservation and protecting native plant species. Riley is a third generation Pecos County farmer. At 18, he vowed never to return to his family's Pecos County farm. But after 30 years, he's back at the family farm, where he's established a new business called Comanche Yucca.
