Sustainability in Colorado involves ensuring that corn farming practices in the state are environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, economically viable, and resource-efficient. This holistic approach takes into account the unique environmental and social context of Colorado’s agriculture landscape.
Best management practices (BMPs) are production methods, structures, and management practices designed to protect water quality while maintaining economic returns. Voluntary adoption of these practices by corn producers will help prevent contamination of water resources, improve public perception of the industry, and perhaps eliminate the need for further regulation and mandatory controls.

Conservation programs and practices are not new to Colorado’s farmers. The corn producers in this state work every year to improve their soil health and the impact of their farm on the land they are using.
