At our recent Annual Meeting, leaders from Turlock Irrigation District, Friant Water Authority, Kern County Water Agency, and the Northern California Water Association gathered for a discussion on critical water issues. Topics ranged from allocation and sustainability to climate resilience. Leaders emphasized collaboration and innovation as essential for addressing challenges like drought and increasing demand. As California's agricultural industry navigates water policy complexities, forums like this are vital for dialogue and progress. Let's build upon the momentum from this meeting to create a more sustainable water future for California agriculture. #CaliforniaWater #Sustainability #AgCouncil #Leadership

A sincere thank you to Senate Pro Tempore Emeritus Toni Atkins for taking the time to connect with Ag Council of California members during our 105th Annual Meeting. Her engagement with our community is deeply appreciated and reinforces the importance of collaboration between legislative leaders and agricultural stakeholders. We valued the opportunity to discuss key issues impacting our industry with Senator Atkins. Her commitment to understanding and addressing the needs of our agricultural community is invaluable. We look forward to continuing our dialogue and partnership with her in the future. And a heartfelt thanks to her for joining us. #caleg #CASenateDems #AgCouncil #Leadership #Gratitude

Last week, the Ag Council of California convened its 105th Annual Meeting. A highlight was hearing from Chuck Conner, CEO of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, who offered insights centered on critical national issues. He discussed the Farm Bill and what to expect on its current extension and whether to expect a new bill anytime soon. Chuck also addressed pressing concerns such as immigration and agricultural labor challenges, shedding light on their impact and potential solutions. We extend our gratitude to Chuck Conner for joining us and for helping to make the 105th Annual Meeting a success. We will post more highlights about our Annual Meeting over the next week. #Agriculture #FarmBill #Immigration #LaborChallenges #AgCouncil #Leadership
