Companies that supply water to fracking drilling in Colorado bid higher for water in auctions than farmers did.
“How do we continue to sustain agriculture when there’s just more and more demand on our water resources in this state?” said Bill Midcap, director of the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union.
Bizarrely, fracking is considered a beneficial use of water in Colorado. But if farmers and ranchers get outbid for water, that means less food and meat for the rest of us.
