The NJC Young Farmers Chapter is the Logan County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Week. Receiving the honor are Peyton Kloberdanz, Jerry Wernsman, Cindy Wernsman, Co-Advisor Maureen Whittington, President Dave Lieber, Co-Advisor Dale Whittington, Drew Whittington and Braedon Kloberdanz.
....The NJC Young Farmers have a storied past. It all began with a vision to educate those interested in agriculture and create strong leaders. In 1968, representatives from Northeastern Junior College, Colorado State University and the Colorado Vocational Agriculture supervisory staff discussed and planned the efforts to increase the amount and quality of adult education in Colorado agriculture.
.....An experimental proposal called “Project 21” began Jan. 1, 1969, and continued through Aug. 31, 1970. The purpose was to demonstrate the effectiveness of a coordinating agency in promoting and developing effective adult education in a prescribed region of the state. Northeastern Colorado, because of the number of schools offering vocational agriculture (21), was selected as the region, thus the name “Project 21” was selected and the Young Farmers programs emerged with a primary purpose of increasing leadership development.
.....At this time, Jack Annan was selected as the coordinator of “Project 21”, then became the Executive Secretary for the Colorado Young Farmers Education Association. NJC Young Farmers chapter was one of the 21 chapters chartered in 1970.
.....Today, the NJC Young Farmer chapter is still a very active chapter; however, they devote more time to community service, but yet continue with agriculture education along the way.
.....The majority of their time is focused on several programs which include the Youth Pedal Tractor Pulls. They hold at six different locations in northeast Colorado in addition to hosting the Colorado State Pedal Tractor Pull in Yuma, the Human Tractor Pull they hold during the Relay for Life, the Hot Rod Tractor Pull they hold on Father’s Day weekend, Ladies Night held in Crook where they raise money for area school’s Post Prom parties, a Cajun Boil to thank their sponsors, and their Christmas Adopt-A-Family program where they select four to six families in need to make sure each family has a Christmas meal and gifts.
.....The leadership of the NJC Young Farmers include Dale and Maureen Whittington who serve as Chapter Advisors along with Dave Lieber who serves as President. If you would like more information on the NJC Young Farmer chapter, please call 970-265-2023.

PPP Gets Extension
The PPP deadline likely to be extended to May 31, 2021 after Senate passed the House version of a bill to extend the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) application deadline to May 31, 2021, and President Biden is expected to quickly sign this into law. With the current March 31 deadline quickly approaching, this extension will give Coloradans more time to submit their PPP loan application.

Restaurant Revitalization Fund
Phased rollout of Restaurant Revitalization Fund should soon begin. The Restaurant Revitalization Fund, part of the American Rescue Plan Act, will provide $28.6 billion in grants to restaurants and bars in need. This fund will offer grants to hard-hit restaurants and bars, with restaurants able to apply for grants based on lost revenue. Five billion dollars of that total will be set aside expressly for businesses with 2019 gross receipts of less than $500,000. . . . .. .. . . .. . . . . . .. . . ... . . .RRRestaurant Revitalization Fund

It's At Least A Start
Most legislation is not perfect, especially anything that goes through reconciliation, an arcane process that often sacrifices substance over form. And the multiemployer provisions in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) fall in this camp. However, in this case, something is better than nothing, and nothing was where we were headed. Millions of workers rely on multiemployer pension plans for their retirement security, but because of a confluence of events, over one million retirees in some of these plans are in danger of losing benefits because their plans are on the brink of insolvency. .Multiemployer Pension

Digital Transformation
It’s 2021, but some government agencies are still running on systems from the 1950s. Legacy systems like FORTRAN and COBOL not only cause costly delays, they also make government vulnerable to security risks and less able to serve the American public. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these outdated systems wrought havoc on relief efforts across federal, state, and local governments. For example, the IRS struggled to disperse millions of economic relief payments, and the Small Business Administration’s E-Tran website crashed as it tried to roll out the Paycheck Protection Program. . .. .. .Digital Technology

514 Hospitalizations Added To System
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) added 514 hospitalization cases to the state’s data dashboard as a result of updates to Banner Health’s COVID-19 data reporting system.
The updates to Banner’s system are a result of a quality control system established by local public health agencies and the state. It revealed that some of the health care network’s hospitalizations reported into COPHS (COVID Patient Hospitalization Surveillance) weren’t able to be matched to known cases of COVID-19 because of some hospital coding issues, which have since been fixed. The unmatched hospitalizations were not therefore reflected in the COVID-19 dashboard. .........................................................................................................................................................................Hospitalizations Added

Identity Fraud Repair Kit
Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in America, impacting millions of households each year. The threat is more pervasive, and the scams are more sophisticated than ever before. Identity thieves only need a few data points—like those found in widespread data breaches - and they can infiltrate your personal financial life, creating chaos. The damage can be life-altering. . ........................Identity Fraud Kit

Experts Advise COVID-19 Testing
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) is reminding Coloradans that if they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, or believe they may have been exposed, they should get tested for COVID-19. Anyone with symptoms should get tested as soon as possible, stay away from others, and follow the instructions on how to isolate. If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19, wait until at least 5 days have passed since the date you think you were last exposed before getting tested, unless you develop symptoms. Follow the instructions on how to quarantine after exposure to prevent further transmission. ..........................................................................................................................................Importance Of Testing

Housing and Utilities Assistance
During this year’s special session, we collaborated with bipartisan legislators in the General Assembly to allocate an additional $54 million in housing assistance through the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). For more information on DOLA’s housing programs and to access support for your rent or mortgage, visit their website. We also allocated $5 million to Energy Outreach Colorado to help Coloradans with utility assistance. Visit their website for more information on how to access those funds. You can also find more information on other programs serving our state, such as County Housing Authorities, the Colorado Low Income Energy Assistance, and more.
Food Assistance
During this pandemic, 1 in 3 Coloradans aren’t sure where their next meal is coming from. I’m proud that during the special session earlier this year we awarded $5 million to the Food Pantry Assistance Program in the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS). If you’re experiencing food insecurity, learn more about food assistance programs from the CDHS, Food Bank of the Rockies, and others serving the people of Colorado. Organizations looking to help their communities address hunger and food access issues, can apply for assistance with the Emergency Hunger Relief Fund
