The Rye Resurgence Project is working to build a market for a water-efficient grain. This initiative aims to help Colorado farmers save water through the use of drought-tolerant grain varieties. The project is focused on keeping agriculture alive in the San Luis Valley.
Developing a customer base for this specific grain is a primary objective for the project. By establishing a market, the initiative seeks to support local farmers and enhance water efficiency across the region. This effort is reported by CPR News.
