Colorado Centennial Farms & Ranches application now open
|
History Colorado is seeking eligible applicants for the 2019 Centennial Farms & Ranches ceremony to be held at the Colorado State Fair in Aug. 2019. The Colorado Centennial Farms & Ranches program honors the important role agriculture has played in our state's history, economic development, and modern-day well-being. The program is a collaboration between History Colorado and the Colorado Department of Agriculture.
To earn recognition as a Colorado Centennial Farm or Ranch, a property must:
- Have remained in the same family continuously for 100 years or more.
- Be a working farm or ranch.
- Have a minimum of 160 acres—however, properties with fewer than 160 acres can qualify if they gross at least $1,000 in annual sales.
- Properties that have four or more well-maintained structures—that are at least 50 years old—are also eligible for a Historic Structures Award.
Applicants must provide information about the history of their property and its buildings and demonstrate that the farm or ranch meets the program's requirements. If they are applying for a Historic Structures Award, applicants must submit photos of the eligible buildings or structures.

HPP seeking livestock grower representative
|
|
Attention!
The Upper Yampa River HPP committee is seeking an individual interested in serving as a livestock grower representative.
The Habitat Partnership Program (HPP), funded by revenue from the sale of big game licenses, works through local committees to develop partnerships among landowners, land managers, sportspersons, the public and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to reduce conflicts caused by deer, elk, pronghorn and moose to agriculture. HPP also assists CPW to meet game management objectives for deer, elk, pronghorn and moose. HPP committees are responsible for finding local solutions to local problems.
Meetings are typically held on the second Monday evening of every month at the Steamboat Springs CPW Service Center. If you would like to be considered please submit your name and contact information
no later than Monday March 25, 2019.
