Colorado ranchers and farmers would do well to listen to a recorded forum that congressional candidate Diane Mitsch Bush presented on Sept. 9. She led a discussion with Colorado ranchers from near Steamboat Springs, Carbondale, Rifle and Grand Junction, plus owners of a meatpacking plant near Durango. It uncovered some things an astute congressperson could work on to make those businesses more equitable, make food and soil more healthy, and help us all to survive future droughts and downstream calls on water. Mitsch Bush clearly demonstrated her extensive knowledge of complex issues, both state and federal, and her willingness to listen and learn from constituents.
