Protein Producer Summit

Protein Producer Summit

Protein Producer Summit. I’m Greg Martin with Lacy Gray for Colorado Ag Today.

GRAY: Livestock producers in Colorado will want to take note of the dates, June 15, 16 and 17. That’s the dates for the Protein Producers Summit at the Steamboat Springs Sheraton.

MARTIN: The Monday through Wednesday meeting is a joint convention of the Colorado Cattlemen's Association and Colorado Livestock Association and will be chock full of great information along with keynote addresses from Elanco's Shari Westerfeld and Google’s Dan Daniels.

GRAY: The Innovations panel will discuss concepts and ideas from their perspective and experience, while directing the overall innovations and technology theme toward the agriculture and livestock industry.

MARTIN: Then there’s the Stock Tank’ Innovation Showcase, modeled after the popular ABC reality show 'Shark Tank’. Innovators will present their progressive ideas for the livestock and agriculture audience and will compete to win the favor of the "Sharks" in a fast-paced, high energy setting. The innovators who dare to enter the Tank must try to convince the sharks, who are already titans of the industry; along with the attendees in the audience, that their proposal is the most cutting-edge vision in agriculture.

GRAY: Of course there will be other key industry leaders like Colorado Commissioner of Ag, Don Brown and Melanie Fowle, President of American National CattleWomen who will talk about timely and important industry issues.

MARTIN: Again the Summit runs June 15, 16 & 17 at the Steamboat Springs Sheraton. You can register for the Protein Producer Summit online at coloradocattle.org

And that’s Colorado Ag Today. I’m Greg Martin, thanks for listening on the Ag Information Network of the West.
