Since 1981, Colorado State University’s Ag Day has celebrated food, football and CSU’s “Ag Family” — producers, supporters, and consumers of Colorado agriculture. This year’s Nutrien Ag Day BBQ took place on Saturday, Sept. 30, prior to the CSU Rams vs. Utah Tech football game, serving as a reunion celebration of community, resilience, and Colorado grown and raised products and their producers.  

The College of Agricultural Sciences’ Ag Week featured events showcasing how our College excels in outreach, engagement, and research, and highlighted the range and diversity we offer in programs and student run organizations. The weeklong celebration brings new and old friends together to honor CSU’s agricultural roots, welcome people to the table, and look ahead to the future.  

More Ag Week and Ag Day photos can be found on the CAS Flickr page.
