Millet ballots mailed

    Colorado’s millet producers should watch their mailboxes for a millet check-off ballot. Ballots were mailed Aug. 9, and voting is open until Aug. 31. Ballots must be postmarked on or before Aug. 31 to be counted.
    Producers not receiving a ballot by Aug. 16 should contact Glenda Mostek at the Colorado Department of Agriculture at 303-869-9173 or email glenda.mostek@state.co.us, and a ballot will be sent via first-class mail.

     In terms of voting eligibility, “producer of millet” means a person who is engaged in the business of producing or causing to be produced millet for grain in the state of Colorado and who is entitled to share in the proceeds of such millet crop as an individual, partnership, corporation, association, legal representative or any organized group of individuals in the last three calendar years (2016-18) and who intends to continue to produce millet for grain in the future.
