2010 State of the Rockies Report Card

Each section of the 2010 Report Card is dedicated to agriculture in the Rockies. It provides a statistical overview of the region's industry but also delves deep into agricultural history, land and water use, demographics, production, finance, organization, and a "foodprint" of Rockies' agriculture. Enjoy!
The Rockies Project aims to inspire Report Card readers and Rockies events attendees to creatively contemplate, discuss, and engage in shaping the future of our beloved, beautiful, and fragile region-the Rocky Mountain West.
