If you’ve ever been to Ag Day at the State Capitol, you’ve seen the remarkable range of people and organizations either directly representing the farmers and ranchers, or in a variety of ways supporting what the agricultural community does. California Agriculture Day was held April 21, 2026.
We asked California Agriculture Day attendees how their work makes California agriculture better – give a listen to what they had to say!
