Western Slope Resource Reporting: Ute Mountain Ute Tribe Part Two

By editor • May 22, 2018

The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe operates a large farm and ranch on its lands in Southwestern Colorado. It grows crops like alfalfa and artisan corn, and over 600 head of cattle. The tribe went through a long settlement process to obtain the water rights to operate this enterprise. But just because they have the farm and rights to the water doesn't mean they can use as much as they want. Austin Cope with KSJD and Western Slope Resources Reporting has this story.

By editor • May 18, 2018

The gravel road that leads to the Ute Mountain Tribe and Ranch Enterprise winds through 11 miles of desert grass and dry brush. But 20 minutes' drive from the highway, as the road comes over the top of a hill, the desert landscape stops at the edge of a huge field of bright green alfalfa plants. More fields appear as you come closer to the farm.
