BOULDER — Pat Minniear received an education in disaster repairs after his house burned down in the Fourmile Fire in 2010. As the owner of Boulder-based Milo Construction Corp. rebuilt his own home and those of multiple neighbors, he repeatedly learned that what a family lost was often far different than what insurance companies were willing to replace. Or families were vastly underinsured. Or both.

The study defined experienced entrepreneurs as those who had at least one prior startup experience, no matter the duration or whether it was successful or not, Foo said.

Fund to provide ag-industry relief BY DOUG STORUM [email protected]

BOULDER – The Local Food Shift Group has established a Farm Relief Fund to assist farmers, ranchers and local food entrepreneurs along the Front Range who have experienced losses because of the recent floods. The Boulder-based nonprofit is partnering with The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County and the Boulder County Farmers’ Markets to administer the fund. Tax-deductible contributions will be channeled into emergency grants and low-interest loans, said Lynette Marie Hanthorn, executive director of Local Food Shift Group. The unprecedented flooding in Colorado has had profound effects on the agricultural community, she said. In many places, the landscape has been altered; creeks and rivers have changed course, irrigation ditches no longer connect to their sources, fields have been flooded with contaminated waters, and topsoil has been washed away. Farmers’ markets and farm- stands have had to close at the height of the harvest season. “While millions of dollars in flood relief is pouring into the area, almost none is targeted to local food producers,” Hanthorn said. An advisory group made up of farmers, food producers and social- impact investors is guiding the fund and reviewing applications, and allo- cations are being managed by the Local Food Shift Group. Details are available at http:// localfoodshift.com/site/boulder_ county_flood_relief. Contributions can be made online at www.commfound.org/floodrelief; choose the Front Range Farm Relief Fund when making a contribution. Checks can be mailed to Local Food Shift Group, 2415 19th St., Boulder CO 80304. Farmers in need are encouraged to apply for assistance. Call 303-494- 1521 or email info@LocalFoodShift. com for details on how to apply.
