From Colorado Corn Growers Association (Eric Brown):
National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) incoming president Wesley Spurlock will make Colorado one of his early stops in his new role, when he attends Colorado Corn’s Annual Banquet on Dec. 7 in Yuma. While there, he also plans to address the crowd gathered at the Yuma Community Center (421 E. 2nd Avenue).
In addition to his role with NCGA, Spurlock farms 9,600 acres of irrigated corn, cotton, wheat and grain sorghum in the upper Texas panhandle, where he also runs a harvesting and spray company.
Among the many others in attendance on Dec. 7 will be Colorado Agriculture Commissioner Don Brown, and John Stulp – a former Colorado ag commissioner, and the current special adviser on water to Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper. Both are also planning to step up to the podium during the event.
The day will begin with the Colorado Corn Growers Association (CCGA) hosting its annual business meeting at 4:30 p.m. (all CCGA members are invited), then a social hour at 5:30 p.m., with the dinner and awards starting at 6:30 p.m.
We ask those wanting to attend to please RSVP no later than Monday, Nov. 28, by contacting Ann Cross at across@coloradocorn.com, or by calling her at the Colorado Corn office at (970) 351-8201.
Invitations and RSVP cards have also been mailed out, to provide another method of RSVP-ing.
Look for more details in the “Kernels” e-news and on our website as the event gets closer.
