BROOMFIELD, Colo. (AP) - The Colorado Department of Agriculture has awarded Colorado State University a $18,684 grant to help peach growers in western Colorado find ways control a canker disease that has hit productivity, profitability, and orchard health.
The department added in a statement Tuesday that it also is giving Osito Orchards in Hotchkiss $2,616 to evaluate new cherry production methods.
The department says the money for the grants was freed up by cost savings in other projects.
