Did you know that rice production in California’s Sacramento Valley creates about $1 billion of added economic value and up to 7,500 jobs, while rice fields act as surrogate wetlands for many birds, snakes, and other wildlife? That’s just one of our topics for discussion at the Agri-Pulse Food & Ag Issues Summit in Sacramento on June 10, where we’ll hear from:

  • Adam Putnam, CEO, Ducks Unlimited
  • Tim Johnson, President & CEO, California Rice Commission
  • Jacob Katz, Senior Scientist, California Trout
