Have you changed the crops, acres or practices on your farm in the past few years? If so, you most likely need to update your Conservation Management Practice (CMP) Plan. As you may recall, farms located in the San Joaquin Valley in excess of 100 acres must complete a CMP Plan and keep it regularly updated. To aid in the effort to ensure farms are keeping up to date on their CMP Plans, the Association along with several other agricultural organizations is partnering with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District to host several CMP Workshops throughout the San Joaquin Valley including at least one workshop in every county. The workshops will occurs as per the following schedule:
