Gov. Mark Gordon took over the jumbotron during the University of Wyoming’s football game this weekend to announce the new Cowboy State Agricultural Initiative.
The program will support current agricultural practices and businesses in the state and suggest actions to keep ag thriving in Wyoming.

“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,” according to a press release announcing the initiative.
