The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) recently released its Colorado Water Supply Outlook Report, based on March 1 figures, which marks the third comprehensive, update for Colorado since the "2017 water year" began on Oct. 1.
According to the report, statewide snowpack levels had decreased some since the Feb. 1 report, but remained above the historic average statewide.

A pair of 4-H programs recently received a boost to their respective endeavors, thanks to grant dollars from the Colorado Corn Administrative Committee.
The two winners in this year's Colorado Corn 4-H Grant Program were:
* The CSU Extension Pueblo County Office's BeeWise program ($2,500)
This effort will offer 12 workshops for more than 100 participants, who will learn the techniques of beekeeping and tracking bee-colony health.

IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER:
In response to a request from Jenny Peterson, Farm Service Agency’s (FSA) acting State Executive Director in Colorado, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has designated Baca, Elbert, Lincoln and Weld counties in Colorado as primary natural disaster areas due to losses and damages caused by a recent drought.
Farmers and ranchers in the following counties in Colorado also qualify for natural disaster assistance because their counties are contiguous. Those counties are:
