Welcome to our very first newsletter highlight. Today's spotlight goes to Representative Marc Catlin. Catlin was born and raised on a row crop farm in Montrose, and is still actively involved with farming today. The Catlin family raises, Olathe Sweet Corn, barley, pinto beans, and seed beans. Coors barley, onions, and sugar beets have been part of the rotation over the decades of farming. As a Montrose native, Marc is proud to advocate for the Western Slope’s values and culture. Rep. Catlin's work experience in water management, water rights development, and agri-business, gives Catlin a unique perspective on Colorado rural issues. Catlin is a strong voice for the producers of the western slope and believes this is a critical era for water, natural resources, and private property rights. |
