Help share input on agricultural labor:

Colorado farmers, ranchers and green industry businesses struggle to recruit and retain a qualified workforce, yet we lack the data to accurately understand the trends for each ag sector. Colo Dept of Labor and Employment and Colo State University are collaborating with key Colorado ag sector partners to deliver an anonymous online survey intended to document wages and practices plus characterize how multiple labor related factors are impacting farm and ranch business perceptions, planning, operations, and decision making. Would you help us build a complete picture of the labor situation for Colorado ag employers by completing this online survey? Plan for 10 minutes if you are a livestock producer and 5 minutes if you are not. Responses due by June 30, 2026.
