Colorado The Place to Be

Colorado The Place to Be

More and more ag companies are realizing the advantages and benefits of being located in Colorado. Ag technology company Cool Planet President and CEO Jim Loar shares some of the reasons that Colorado is a great location.

Loar: "Colorado and Denver particularly has a robust and vibrant economic. It has a very highly educated work force with a exceptional work ethic. I think that the thing that is happening in Colorado is that the recognition that we are an ag state. There is a tremendous agriculture history and legacy in Colorado and those are all things we need to take advantage of."

Loar says that it is also location — Colorado is only two to three hour flight from all major ag marketing centers within the country. Loar predicts

Loar: "Denver is the next area that is going to go through potentially some explosive growth in agriculture and ag innovation and headquarters of ag companies. I think that is positive for Denver but I also think it is also positive for the industry. The opportunity for collaboration — the opportunity to work together to develop products or markets it is easier when you are closer to your collaborators.

Cool Planet just received another round of funding of nearly $20 million to further commercialize their Cool Terra product that improves soil health. Find out more at coolterra.com
