Agriculture and Rural Life
The roots of agriculture run deep in the Yampa Valley. Being a good neighbor is part of The Code of the West, and managing your appropriately property is the foundation to being a good neighbor. Our Guide to Rural Living and Small-Scale Agriculture Guide can help you become a better steward of the land and help you understand what it means to be a good neighbor in the West.
Guide to Rural Living in Colorado
Although the Routt County area is beautiful, rural living is not like living in the city or suburbs and should not be treated the same. County governments are simply unable to provide the same level of service as a city. Those who move away from the hassles of urban life should understand that they won’t have access to some of the same conveniences. This transition is one of education and discovery.
Emergency Planning
CSU Extension connects Coloradans with the expert guidance and practical tools for emergency preparedness, response, and recovery designed to help communities build resilience before disaster strikes.
