Cropland Policy
The effort to develop a management policy for county-owned croplands began in 2010 with public outreach, including farm tours, an open house, a Sustainable Agriculture Forum and a Farm and Ranch Panel Discussion.
In 2011, the Board of County Commissioners convened the Cropland Policy Advisory Group to formulate policy recommendations, which are available atwww.BoulderCountyOpenSpace.org/croplandpolicy.
For more information about the policy, upcoming meetings and public involvement opportunities, visit www.BoulderCountyOpenSpace.org/croplandpolicyor contact Resource Planner Jesse Rounds at 303-678-6271 or croplandpolicy@bouldercounty.org.
