A Western Growers "Deeper Dive" on Agtech Innovation.
Join a lively discussion on March 27th as we explore opportunities to drive innovation and collaboration in water management technology. We will look at balancing the promise of new ag technologies, with the realities of farming, to create value for growers.
Not only will we take a deeper look into the water management challenges, but also the obstacles that water technologists are overcoming to create real solutions that work for central valley ag.
We are pleased to announce A.G. Kawamura as our lunch keynote speaker. Join us as he discusses “Setting the Table,” sponsored by AT&T.
The event is designed to encourage an interactive discussion between a panel of growers and AgTech professionals, as well as the audience, to help advance innovation and adoption of irrigation technology.

Since 1926, Western Growers has represented local and regional family farmers growing fresh produce in Arizona, California, Colorado, and New Mexico. Our members provide half the nation’s fresh fruits, vegetables and tree nuts, including a third of America’s fresh organic produce. Some members also farm throughout the U.S. and in other countries so people have year-round access to nutritious food. For generations our members have provided variety and healthy choices as the first line of defense against obesity and disease. We grow the best medicine in the world.
