Farmers and ranchers are facing a lot of uncertainty this year including depressed commodity prices, uncertainties around trade, and the anticipated passage of a new farm bill before the end of September. A "Round-up" of all the issues facing agriculture is being hosted by Colorado Corn Growers Association and Administrative Committee. Corn producers and grain handlers are invited to join Colorado Corn staff and board members for a meal.
A short status update on the issues will be given, with ample time dedicated to hearing from local producers. What keeps you up at night? How do the current issues impact your operation? As stakeholders, Colorado Corn needs to hear from you so they can continue to improve the business climate for the industry.
For "Round-up" locations, dates and times near you see the list below or visit www.coloradocorn.com/upcoming-events.
RSVPs are appreciated but not required by a week prior to the "Round-up" date. Email or call Olivia at [email protected] or 970-351-8201 to RSVP.
