The five-year referendum to gauge industry’s interest to continue the activities of the Commission passed with overwhelming support. 100 percent of handlers and 96 percent of growers who voted cast a ballot to continue the Commission.
“The strong support in the referendum speaks to a program of work that is aligned with industry needs and executed diligently”, commented CEO Tim Johnson. “We have outstanding leadership and committed professional staff who get results.”
Due to COVID-19, many of the winter meetings for the rice industry will be held virtually this year.

Please note, the UCCE Rice event requires advance registration and a $10 fee. More information and links to these events are available at our calendar section.
