The Colorado Department of Agriculture has hired two new regional assistant commissioners to help strengthen the agency’s connection to agricultural communities across the state.

These positions were created last year and serve as a key resource to continue building and maintaining trusted relationships with rural communities and ag producers across the state.

Riley May, from Prowers County, and Nick Perchess, from Pueblo County, will join CDA’s two current regional assistant commissioners, Jo Stanko from Routt County and George Whitten from Saguache County. They went through a competitive application process and were selected as the finalists for these two positions.

The new regional assistant commissioners will start at CDA in early May.
