Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we needed to shift to a virtual format for our meeting. The presentations provided this year cover a wide range of key topics, from changes in Washington D.C. to the water outlook for the coming year.
Today’s speakers include Tyson Redpath of The Russell Group with a look at federal issues impacting our industry, David Guy of the Northern California Water Association on our water outlook and Betsy Ward of USA Rice with updates on key trade and policy initiatives.
We are providing this information in a virtual format due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Please note, the UCCE Rice event requires advance registration and a $10 fee. More information and links to these events are available at our calendar section.
