Mark your calendar for the 2020 Ag Day at the
Colorado State Capitol to be held March 25, 2020!
Ag Day, March 25, 2020, at the Colorado State Capitol is held in conjunction with National Ag Week. Ag Day is a celebration of all the wonderful things that agriculture brings to the state, country, and world. Once again we will be partnering with local chefs to showcase Colorado Proud products. Chef teams will consist of Ag Council members and Legislators.
We will have 10 chef teams paired with 20 Ag Council members. The first 20 Ag Council members to sign up will be paired on the chef teams, 2 members per team. Table fees for this event are $250 per member organization ($500 total per booth). Once all members have signed up, Ag Council teams will be randomly paired with individual Chefs. From that point we can work on introductions, farm & ranch tours, menus, etc. CHEF TEAM SIGN UP DUE NOVEMBER 11, 2020. We will have educational areas for the members who participate, but it will be different than last years set up.
For members who only want educational space, please reach out and we will see what options we have. We will be limited on space for the educational areas. **

Holtorf Gets Agriculture Special License Plate
Another legislative success story for Representative Richard Holtorf in getting HB24-1369, Colorado’s Agriculture Special License Plate bill passed in the Colorado House.
The legislators had fun in passing the bill. One of them placed a picture of Holtorf on the bull and the show began. One of the fun arguments against it was that the plate did not have an image of devil’s lettuce therefore doesn’t represent all the agriculture in Colorado and that it should be a No vote. Another said that the bill didn’t represent western Colorado’s grass fed cows. After the fun, the bill was passed with flying colors.
HOLTORF STRESSES COGOP NEUTRALITY
State Representative Richard Holtorf, Candidate for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District (CD4), issued a
statement in response to the April 30, 2024, Colorado State Republican Party’s (COGOP) questionnaire for
endorsement sent by Vice Chair Hope Scheppelmann.
Holtorf said, “The COGOP and Chair Williams are completely out of line. The fact that the state party is demanding
candidates fill out a policy questionnaire to secure an “endorsement” is ridiculous. I have been sharing my policy beliefs with
voters for nearly six months. The legal bylaws of the party state the COGOP will endorse all candidates prior to the primary.
All of the Republicans in the state have already selected Republican candidates for the June 25th
