Director Position 2

Barten Mulch – Age 40

Burlington, CO – Mr. Mulch was born and raised on a multi-generational farm in Burlington, Colorado. After working on the farm throughout high school, he went to CU Boulder and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry. Post-graduation he went on to obtain his bachelor’s in medical technology and began working in the laboratory at Denver Health. While interesting and fulfilling work, he missed agriculture, so he and his wife Taren decided to return to Burlington to raise their family. In 2013 they moved home where he began working with his father and brother, while Taren went to work for the state tourism office. In 2017, Mr. Mulch became a partner in Mulch Farms, an irrigated and dryland farm producing primarily corn and wheat. Mr. and Mrs. Mulch were fortunate enough to begin their own farm as well in 2018. Mr. Mulch is currently the president (since 2015) of the Plains Ground Water Management District serving on the board since 2013. Through this role he believes the vitality of rural Colorado depends on water conservation. Financing for young and beginning farmers and ranchers provides opportunities, while it gives all operations the ability to prosper. This is why he is convinced Farm Credit of Southern Colorado needs to continue to be a strong financial partner for its members. Their three children, Lakely (9), Alba (8), and Barren (7) keep the Mulch’s busy with all their various activities. They also enjoy traveling with family as well as golf and basketball.
