Farmers along the Colorado River developing new techniques for conserving precious water

Water is like gold to Matt McGuire. McGuire is the general manager of JV farms in Yuma, Ariz., the heart of a region that grows nearly all the lettuce, spinach, celery, broccoli and cauliflower we buy in grocery stores across the U.S. “You probably have a million plus acres being farmed with the Colorado River water,” he told Denver7’s Eric Lupher. “Without that water, this place would not grow anything. It's a desert.”
