Almond Board Staff Hits the Road To Meet Growers

The Almond Board of California’s (ABC’s) Field Outreach and Education team, joined by other key ABC staff, will soon be embarking on their previously postponed, long-awaited Industry Roadshow.

The team is loading up “Fritz” the almond van with 3,000 informational packets featuring the latest ABC resources and traveling to 20 locations throughout the state with the purpose of handing out new ABC resources, as well as materials that industry members would have picked up at the ABC booth during an in-person Almond Conference.

The visits offer industry members an opportunity to meet ABC staff and leadership, who have missed spending time with growers. The Almond Board of California’s Field Outreach and Education team, in addition to industry and ABC leadership, will kick off on May 4 at the northern-most location, Corning, moving south and concluding in Shafter on May 21. The Almond Board team will visit  a total of 20 locations. Here is the complete schedule, along with other ABC events.

Industry members are invited to drive up to the location nearest them and look for Fritz the almond van, as well as the Field Outreach team and ABC/industry leadership. Industry members will have the opportunity to meet the Field Outreach team members who are responsible for providing them with ABC resources, hands-on assistance in the orchard, California Almond Sustainability Program (CASP) support, and more.
