Safeguarding SLV Farms: Understand Prunus Quarantine Rules
The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) wants to ensure that all residents and visitors to the San Luis Valley are aware of important quarantine regulations regarding the importation of Prunus species (which includes plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, and more) into Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Rio Grande, and Saguache Counties. These regulations are crucial for protecting local agriculture which is a major economic driver for the San Luis Valley.
