....First FarmBank was founded in 2007 and expanded into Logan County by opening our Sterling Branch in 2013. Starting in a temporary office space, they broke ground on their current (permanent) facility soon thereafter.
....First FarmBank is deeply devoted to this community and they were excited to build in Sterling. As a community bank, it’s important to them to support those who live in the areas they serve. They were proud to use local contractors for this project. The new branch building officially opened on July 18, 2016.
....The idea of First FarmBank began with the desire to offer superior banking products and services - specifically in the areas where many people have felt underserved. As their founders were all involved in agriculture, First FarmBank was built upon the ideas and promises that their founders had for or their great farmers and ranchers: they work to create the right conditions for their customers to grow and manage their finances. It’s important to know that they are a full-service community bank that is proud to serve all types of customers - not just those involved in agriculture.
....They opened their first branch in Greeley in 2007 and since have grown to five branch locations in Colorado and Kansas. While many organizations tend to focus on the I-25 corridor and more populated areas, First FarmBank subscribes to a different approach. They focus on the communities East of I-25, proudly serving the great rural communities in their area.
....They have invested a significant amount of resources in technology and remote banking options. In the past 18 months, they have implemented more than 10 services or service enhancements including online account opening, debit card rewards, and Zelle.
....Here are some of their favorite new services:
....•Allpoint Surcharge-Free ATM Network: First FarmBank debit cardholders have access to 55,000 ATMs worldwide for FREE!
....•Card Defender app: easily turn their debit card on/off from their phone. They can also implement merchant and other location controls so they can determine when, where and how their debit card can be used
....•uChoose Rewards: earn rewards points on every purchase made with their First FarmBank VISA Debit Card. Redeem for cash, merchandise or experiences. (Www.firstfarmbank.com/uchooserewards.aspx for full details)

Executive Order Extended
COVID Economic Impact
The Governor’s Office of State Planning and Budgeting (OSPB) released its quarterly economic forecast.
“Colorado was one of the first economies to safely reopen in a way that addresses the new health challenges created by the virus. Our businesses and workers are resilient, adapting and getting creative to meet the unique obstacles created by this global pandemic. But we all must continue to do our part by wearing masks and avoiding large gatherings to avoid the mistakes of other states, or the economic damage left in the wake of the virus will grow. We acted early to reduce the economic pain of the pandemic by delaying taxes, streamlining and suspending various regulations, and supporting small businesses with emergency aid,” said Governor Polis.
State Okays CHSAA Request
DENVER - Governor Jared Polis announced that the State would conditionally approve the Colorado High School Activities Association’s (CHSAA) request to make certain outdoor sports available in the A season should the CHSAA board and local communities choose to move forward. These outdoor sports include football, field hockey, cheer, and dance. Schools will still have the choice to offer these sports in the C season instead. If a community falls out of compliance, and enters Level 3 in the Safer at Home Public Health Order 20-35, the approval will be re-evaluated and may be rescinded in that community
