Green Chile plants
(Deming) -- The chile harvest has begun as grocery stores and farmer’s markets in the area are starting to roll out roasters in preparation for green chile sales.
A U.S. Department of Agriculture report says that last week the New Mexico chile harvest was 11 percent complete.
Retailers and canneries this year are subject to a new law that prevents falsely advertising that chile is New Mexico-grown, if it's from elsewhere.
Katie Goetz, spokeswoman for the New Mexico Department of Agriculture, said inspectors have already found some violators and will be on the lookout as the season continues.
