GREELEY, Colo. — As part of continued efforts to promote foods and agricultural products that are grown, raised or processed here in our state, the Colorado Department of Agriculture and its “Colorado Proud” campaign recently featured Colorado Corn Growers Association (CCGA) President Dave Eckhardt in their social media endeavors. Dave is a fourth-generation farmer near LaSalle, growing corn, wheat, onions, dry beans and sugar beets.
In addition to spearheading the farm’s day-to-day functions with his father and brother, Dave also gives tours of his farm, testifies during hearings at the Colorado State Capitol, and takes part in panel discussions and interviews with the media to help educate consumers about agriculture. Dave and his family are also heavily engaged in discussions with area ditch companies that provide water to local farms.
