Dec 7, 2007 9:59 AM

The California Chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA) will present the 2008 Spring Ag Outlook Conference on Thursday, April 10 at the Holiday Inn Select in Bakersfield. The conference will feature information on the state’s key agricultural issues and commodities, agricultural land and lease value information, and will include distribution of the 2008 Trends in Agricultural Land & Lease Values publication.

Water will play a key role in the 2008 south valley conference. A two day Water Infrastructure Seminar and Tour will precede the conference on April 8 & 9, offering a first hand look at agricultural water conveyance issues in the southern part of the state. Conference speakers will then focus on a variety of related topics under the theme, “Water Flows–Food Grows: Sustainable Agriculture for the Future.”
