Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture
Prowers County farmer and rancher John Stulp has dedicated his life to Colorado agriculture; he was named commissioner of agriculture by Governor Bill Ritter, Jr. in 2006. Commissioner Stulp is an active member of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) which works to develop and implement sound public policy and programs to support and promote the American agricultural industry, while protecting consumers and the environment. He is also the Vice President of WASDA, the Western Association of State Departments of Agriculture.
During his time at CDA, Commissioner Stulp has committed himself to furthering Colorado's agricultural community by participating in events across the state and around the globe: Chinese trade opportunities, Canadian & cattle industry roundtable, Tri-National Ag Accord, Governor's Forum on Colorado Agriculture, town hall meetings, South Platte Task Force, and various producer and industry meetings. A member of the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union since 1975, he has been a leading proponent of building wind farms in rural Colorado as a way to develop new economic opportunities and jobs for Colorado's farmers and ranchers. His family farming operation is home to the Lamar Light and Power Wind Farm, and he is a principal in Prairie Wind Energy LLC.
Commissioner Stulp served as a Prowers County commissioner from 1991, when he was appointed to fill a vacancy, until January 2005. He also has served on numerous other boards and commissions, including the State Board of Agriculture (1986 to 1995), state Wildlife Commission (1995-99), the Connect Colorado technology committee (1996), the State Land Board (1997-2005), and the Colorado Ag Development Authority & Value Added Board (2005-06). He graduated from Yuma High School in 1966, earned his bachelor's degree in veterinary science from Colorado State University in 1970 and his doctor of veterinary medicine from CSU in 1972. He and his wife, Jane, have five children.
