Understanding the California regulatory process for crop protection chemicals can be difficult. Here’s your opportunity to hear about the process – working with the proper agencies, gathering and submitting data, maintaining relationships with stakeholders, taking action when necessary and more. Speakers will also address some of the unique complexities managed at the state level in California, our nation's largest state in terms of agricultural receipts. You can have an impact on the overall process; learn what growers, PCAs and other stakeholders in the industry can do to be more effective and efficient. Speakers will include:
