ANR Adventures

It has been a while since I posted and much has happened in that time. UC ANR has begun to wrap up the Vision 2040 process. We have successfully navigated a call for positions and will soon be announcing some of the approved positions. We have engaged in budget planning as an organization.

The Ag Day event held at the state capital represented a day for all of California agriculture to be celebrated.

Saturday was truly a great night at the Orange County Farm Bureau Steak Fry.

Recently I had the pleasure of visiting San Diego with Lynn Schmitt-McQuitty. While in town, I met with members of San Diego County Farm Bureau, San Diego County supervisors and county administrators to learn about their concerns and to find out how UC ANR can be a better partner.

Recently I visited with our colleagues at UC Merced and UC Santa Cruz UC's newest Agricultural Experiment Station campuses. At UC Merced, we met with administrators, faculty and staff for a tour of campus.
