Ag Commission

Yesterday, the Colorado Agricultural Commission approved, and Commissioner of Agriculture Kate Greenberg adopted an emergency rule to help limit the spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Colorado. Since the initial detection of HPAI in dairy cattle in March 2024, the virus has spread to dairies in at least nine states, including Colorado.

Governor Jared Polis proclaimed today, Wednesday, March 20, 2024, as Colorado Agriculture Day, to celebrate the indispensable role agriculture plays in the daily life of every Coloradan.
