Colorado Now Has a Long-Needed ‘Agriculture’ License Plate

It's hard to believe that in Colorado, up until 2024, we hadn't had a license plate celebrating the agriculture community. By 2025, that'll be a thing of the past.

Honestly, with all the different license plates that Colorado has, over 200 of them, why hasn't this been done already? It'll be exciting to see how many Coloradans will be donning the new plates in 2025.

They have a "tentative" rendering of what the plate will look like; will it stick?

According to 9News, there are over six million Colorado license plates out there; that's more than the state's entire population as of 2022. How many of those license plates, by 2026, will have the new Agriculture plate?

According to AGDaily.com, Colorado has nearly 34,000 farms taking up over 31 million acres of land. With that, you could definitely say that the Centennial State is dedicated to agriculture. It's "high time" that we had a license plate for it.

AGDaily reports that an organization of cattlewomen in Logan County gathered the needed 4,000 signatures to get the bill sponsored, and by June of 2024, the bill (HB-1369) passed and was signed into law.

Leave it to women to get things done, right?
