Senate Ag Committee Passes HB1317 on 6-0 vote!

The Colorado State Senate Ag Committee unanimously passed HB 1317 yesterday afternoon. More than 80 people were in attendance and there was NO TESTIMONY AGAINST 1317. A big thanks to those FFA youths and their leaders - Branson, Fowler, Hoehne, Kim, and Rocky Ford were represented by almost 30 young people in FFA Blue!

These young people again represented their schools and the region and everyone should be very proud of our progeny!

The bill now will go to the Senate floor for '2nd reading' and associated debate. Likely next week.

Again, thank you to all that supported the effort thus far with attendance, phone calles, e-mails, faxes and so on. Please know that kind of showing makes a tremendous difference in outcomes of legislation such as 1317.

Please do go ahead and make a call to your senator and let him/her know of your request for them to support passage of 1317 in the Senate.
