During the January American Farm Bureau Federation Annual Convention, Colorado Farm Bureau President Carlyle Currier was re-elected to the board of directors and appointed to the executive committee.

Currier has been on the AFBF board since 2023. At the time, he was nominated by the Western Region Caucus to fulfill an unexpired term. Since being elected Colorado Farm Bureau president in 2020, Currier has testified on issues such as wolf reintroduction and ag labor, traveled internationally to discuss trade and agricultural practices, and he joined the Colorado River Drought Task Force.

Currier is a part of a legacy cattle operation that is based in Molina and has roots dating back to the late 1800s. His son Joel is an integral part of the operation, allowing Currier time for his state and national roles while leaving the ranch in good hands.

“I consider it a huge honor to be elected to the board of directors of the American Farm Bureau Federation and to now be one of four state presidents to be selected to serve on the executive committee,” Currier said.

Colorado Farm Bureau’s mission is to lead the way in promoting, strengthening and advocating for agriculture. The organization represents all crops, livestock and sectors of agriculture and works to strengthen the industry through advocacy, leadership development, educational efforts and initiatives.
