Boosting Economy in Tierra Amarilla

January 3, 2020 – In a return to one of our favorite pieces of the last year, NMiF visits a grass-finished beef ranch in Tierra Amarilla that’s the latest agricultural venture of four generations of the Casados family. C4 Enterprises plans to build its own butchering and meat processing operation with help from the state and local economic development groups. It’s a project that’s a far cry from the flash of Facebook and Netflix, but one that may hold the key to revitalizing rural New Mexico.

Guests:
Alicia Keyes, NM Economic Development secretary
Tommy Casados, rancher, C4 Farms
