Together, the UCCE Farm Advisors seek to provide relevant, topical research-backed information relating to CA rice production.
Sarah Marsh Janish sat down with Tim Johnson, the President & CEO of the California Rice Commission, also known as the CRC. The CRC makes it their mission to support the family farmers and mills who have excelled for more than a century. This support looks like engaging in a number of comprehensive regulatory programs such as managing water quality programs, maintaining an active industry communications program, and coordinating wildlife habitat conservation programs.
Sarah and Tim discussed the role and mission of the California Rice Commission, its history, and its efforts to manage water quality, habitat conservation, and industry communications. They also explored the environmental impact of rice farming, the importance of rice fields for waterfowl habitat and shorebirds, and the potential for rice fields to contribute to the recovery of salmon runs. The conversation ended with a discussion on the California Rice Commission's role in promoting rice farming, its partnerships with organizations, and its focus on collaboration and resource efficiency.
