Annual Tree and Vine Expo

Save the date, Tuesday, November 7th for the annual Tree & Vine Expo at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds, in Turlock, California, the heart of North Valley wine grape, tree nut and fruit country.  Held by Malcolm Media Ag Publishing in cooperation with California Ag Network, Pacific Nut Producer, American Vineyard, and California Fruit & Vegetable Magazines, it is the ultimate postharvest industry gathering place for regional grape, nut & tree fruit growers and crop advisors.  Nearly a thousand growers, PCAs and industry stakeholders attend this expo to enjoy State of the Almond, Pecan, Pistachio, Walnut & Wine Grape Industry presentations, Continuing Education Credited IPM seminars, great food & company, and an industry trade show featuring over a hundred Ag businesses.

5 hours of PCA/PA/QAL/QAC and 5 hours of CCA credits have been approved for this event (including one hour of Laws & Regulations).  For the first time, Malcolm Media is pleased to announce the offering of continuing education credits for CDFA’s Irrigation & Nitrogen Management Plan (INMP) as well. 1.5 hours of INMP credits have been approved for the event.

New to this year’s program will be the introduction of the incoming CEO of the Almond Board of California Clarice Turner and a final State of the Almond Industry presentation delivered by longtime Almond Board President Richard Waycott.  Also, never before introduced to the Tree & Vine Expo will be our State of the Pecan Industry address, featuring President of the California Pecan Growers Association Karlene Hanf with pecan grower and American Pecan Council board member, Blake Houston.  See the full program for more details and register to attend HERE.
