Have you formalized your estate plan? Have you shared your plans with your family members? Many farmers and ranchers have an unwritten estate plan. And lots of questions.
Colorado State University Extension will conduct a workshop in Springfield on Thursday, February 23rd to help answer some of your questions and provide you with valuable resources. The program will take place at the Minnick Building on the Baca County Fairgrounds from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Incumbent Kiowa County Commissioners Richard Scott and Donald Oswald were sworn in to a new term this week by County Judge Gary W. Davis. Their four-year term runs to January 2021. First term Commissioner Cindy Berry is at the mid-point of her four year term.
Joining a myriad of other speakers at the 2017 Governor's Forum on Colorado Agriculture, Governor John Hickenlooper and Colorado Agriculture Commissioner Don Brown will each be stepping up to the podium at the event.
Governor Hickenlooper and Commissioner Brown will help lead a Forum that this year is titled "Label It: Agriculture," focusing on how collaboration and cooperation have made agriculture in Colorado the state's second-largest driver of our economy, and how similar efforts will be critical moving forward.

McLoud moved and Oswald seconded the motion to accept the minutes as presented. All Commissioners voted Affirmative.
Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams has joined his peers across the country in expressing disappointment with the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to classify election systems as “critical infrastructure” without the promised collaboration process.
One concern is that the classification may give the federal government more control over elections, which are run by states and local governments. The designation was made last Friday in the waning days of President Obama’s administration.
