About the Forum

Colorado Land Link is a program that matches farmers and ranchers seeking land opportunities with landowners or retiring producers that are open to transitioning their land. In addition to this matching service, Land Link serves as a resource clearinghouse for educational and training opportunities, technical resources and networking for technical assistance and support. As part of our regional capacity building efforts, we are excited to bring the 7th Annual Land Link Forum to the Western Region in Grand Junction, Colorado Saturday, March 16th! 

This year's forum has three focus areas:

1.  Strengthen regional and statewide leadership and partnerships
2.  Build the capacity of the Land Link Program in the Northwest Region
3.  Connect farmers, ranchers and agricultural service providers with tools and resources to support a vibrant agricultural future.

Who Should Attend?

• Regional or statewide leaders in agriculture or conservation  interested in how Land Link can serve as a tool for farm succession 
•  Agricultural  service professionals who currently assist farm/ranch families and next generation famers and ranchers.
• Current farmer or rancher interested in strategies for transitioning your land or business.
• Landowner seeking options for farmland tenure and management transfer.
