Small Acreage Management

Small acreage landowners in Colorado own 2 to 100 acres and may be lifestyle farmers who work outside the home, retired operators, or operators of a small farm or ranch. CSU Extension provides these landowners with information on pasture management, weeds, selecting crops and livestock, and environmental factors that affect land and natural resources.
