Join The Business Incubator Center and AgriWest for the public release of a groundbreaking agricultural study that brings together data, trends, and lived experience to provide a clear picture of agriculture across Western Colorado.

It represents one of the most comprehensive, region-wide assessments of Western Slope agriculture conducted to date. Topics include:
A clear, data-driven snapshot of agriculture on the Western Slope
Findings from Census data, producer surveys, and economic modeling
Agriculture’s impact on jobs, GDP, and regional economy
Key challenges: aging ownership, succession, drought, rising costs, and access to technology
