During halftime of the Wyoming Cowboys Football game Saturday, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon announced the Cowboy State Agriculture Initiative. The Governor’s video message coincided with Agriculture and Energy Day. During the message, Gordon said the state’s energy and agriculture industries have created generations of jobs and our unique cowboy culture.
Through the Cowboy State Agricultural Initiative, the Governor has appointed a working group committed to preserving Wyoming’s agricultural heritage for current and future generations. The working group is made up of 13 Wyoming individuals, including executive branch advisors, state legislators, county commissioners, agricultural association’s representatives, University of Wyoming officials and business leaders who are committed to preserving Wyoming’s agricultural heritage and rich in agricultural knowledge.
The group will present a strategy for investments in education, applied research, and innovative farm and ranch management, for current and future generations. The working group’s goal is to support current agricultural practices and business in the state and suggest short- and long-term actions to be taken to keep agriculture thriving in Wyoming.
