A few photos from the summer board meeting, July 23-25 in Salinas, California. In addition to the summer meeting, the board also had the opportunity to travel around the Salinas Valley learning about area farming practices, crops and issues affecting California farmers. Prior to the tour, NAFB hosted an Agribusiness Luncheon where we had the opportunity to hear from three California county ag commissioners and the state FSA director, and meet with business leaders in the area. The luncheon and tour were planned by the AgNet West team of Gary Cooper, Sabrina Hill and Taylor Hillman. The board had the opportunity to visit an artichoke farm, winery, an agricultural education center and a local farming business, nursery and to meet with several Salinas FFA students.
