The California Farm Bureau Federation presented the director of UC Agriculture and Natural Resources Governmental and External Relations, Steve Nation, with a President's Award last night at its annual meeting in Anaheim, according to an article published on the AgAlert Web site today.

"Steve has worked closely with Farm Bureau leaders and staff to create better opportunities for all of us involved in the business of farming," farm bureau president Doug Mosebar was quoted in the story.

The article, written by Dave Kranz, says Nation began his association with the farm bureau in 1979 as executive director of the California Integrated Remote Sensing System. He joined the state Department of Conservation in 1980, and began working with the university in 1985.

Nation plans to retire at the end of February 2010.
