In 2026, the nation celebrates 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, while Colorado commemorates 150 years as the Centennial State. These twin milestones- the Sesquisemiquincentennial- aim to unite Coloradans in a spirit of hope, resilience, and shared purpose.
To honor this remarkable celebration, the Colorado Department of Agriculture invites everyone to recognize the vital role agriculture has played in weaving Colorado's rich and diverse story. This publication is one of many efforts to inspire, connect, and empower communities across the state and envision a vibrant future together. Thank you for joining this opportunity to reflect on the shared journey and embrace all the possibilities ahead.
