Unharvested from last year's crop, dried anaheim peppers still hang on the plants in a 15-acre patch on the truck farm of Phil Prutch in Vineland, Colo., in a Monday photo. Prutch, like several other farmers in the Arkansas River valley, are promoting a bill in the Colorado statehouse that would allow for the use of prisoners as field laborers in light of a shortage of migrant workers who are staying away from Colorado because of the state's new immigration laws.
