Colorado Corn Cultivating Opportunities

Colorado Ag Air Quality symposiums set for Feb. 24, 25 & 26

Agriculture’s impact on Colorado’s air quality is the focus of three Ag Air Quality Symposiums to be held Feb. 24, 25, and 26 in Fort Collins, Sterling, and Lamar, respectively. The symposiums will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Among the topics to be covered will be agricultural emissions, available or already enacted best management practices for producers to mitigate emissions, EPA management of greenhouse gases, and ammonia deposition in Rocky Mountain National Park.

These symposiums are designed to educate agriculture producers about emissions from their operations and assist the industry in adapting to today’s uncertain regulatory climate, as well as demonstrate leadership on the issues in a way that continues to conserve our natural resources for future generations of agriculturists.

The symposiums will be held at the following locations.

Wednesday, Feb 24, at the Agricultural Research, Development and Education Center on the Colorado State University campus in Ft. Collins.

Thursday, Feb. 25, at Northeastern Junior College in Sterling.

Friday, Feb. 26, at Lamar Community College in Lamar.
