KVNF FARM FRIDAY

On today’s Farm Friday we take a look at how the US 50 middle bridge closure is impacting our local ag producers. More recently CDOT has opened County Road 26 for larger commercial vehicles easing some of the pain, however, ag producers are still experiencing financial impacts from the closure. Joining me today is Katie Alexander, Tri River Area Agriculture Marketing and Small Acreage for CSU Extension.
