Specialty Spotlight: USDA's Plans for Fruit, Nut & Veggie Growers

Specialty crop producers have long powered California’s agricultural economy, but their diversity, perishability and market structures make it uniquely challenging to design one-size-fits-all federal programs. In this timely session, senior leaders from USDA’s Farm Service Agency, Risk Management Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service will highlight how they’re adapting disaster assistance, conservation tools and crop insurance to better meet the realities of fruit, vegetable, nut, nursery and vine crop operations. This session brings producers face-to-face with the officials working to ensure these programs deliver when and where they’re needed most.
