Today is “Colorado Ag Day,” a day set aside to honor the state’s farmers and ranchers and their important contribution to our state’s economy. Today is also “National Agriculture Day.” The Colorado Legislature will be celebrating Ag Day with HJR13-1018. This Joint Resolution tells us that each American farmer feeds about 156 people, and agriculture is the Colorado’s second-largest industry, contributing $41 billion to our state’s economy.
