DENVER—Another Obama Cabinet member is in Colorado to lobby for the administration’s climate change bill.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack met with ranchers and farmers Monday in a closed-door discussion about how the proposal before the Senate to slash greenhouse gas emissions could benefit agriculture.
Vilsack is promoting a USDA analysis released last month that argues farmers could see a profit if the bill passes. The bill would pay farmers to adopt climate-friendly practices such as no-till farming or planting trees.
Later Monday, Vilsack was to address a conference in Boulder about greenhouse gases. Last week, Interior Secretary Ken Salzar visited a solar power plant in Longmont to promote the climate bill.
