Senator discusses farm bill

Sen. Ken Salazar stopped by the Las Animas County Courthouse July 2 to discuss the 2008 Farm Bill and take questions from his constituents.

Perhaps preaching to the choir, Salazar informed the crowd at the courthouse how important agriculture was to Colorado's economy. More than 100,000 jobs and $16 billion were said to come from agriculture in Colorado, with the state ranking 10th nationwide in cattle and calf production.

Noting that the July 4 weekend was fast approaching, Salazar introduced his talk by stating the importance of "food security" to national security. "I wanted to make sure that we were also celebrating the food security we have here in this country," he said. "And the 2008 Farm Bill, in my view, is very much a step in making sure we maintain that security."
