Ag Council’s Legislative Conference Ag Council thanks Blue Diamond Growers for their active participation during our Legislative Conference on May 6. Blue Diamond ’s growers and staff attended meetings in multiple legislative offices throughout the day to discuss priority issues at the forefront in the state legislature, such as advocating for critical funding for food and ag programs including the Food Production Investment Program and FARMER, as well speaking about legislation affecting water policy. Ag Council appreciates everyone who joined us for this important outreach and the more than 50 attendees who enjoyed the reception.
