Governor’s Conference on Agriculture Coming Up

The Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA) is hosting the 2024 Governor’s Conference on Agriculture on Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2024, at the Rafter 3C Arena in Fallon, NV. The conference will cover regulatory and economic development information and resources for Nevada’s farmers, ranchers, food producers, and industry partners. 
 
“We are very excited to bring back the Governor’s Conference on Agriculture after a six-year hiatus and hope this programming will be beneficial for our agriculture industry,” said NDA Director J.J. Goicoechea. 
 
The free conference will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., immediately preceding the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association 89th Annual Convention and Trade Show. 
 
“We hope that by partnering with the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association and hosting this before their annual meeting will make it more accessible for our agriculture community to attend,” said Director Goicoechea. 
 
Registration is available at agri.nv.gov/GovCon. 

The NDA's mission is to preserve, protect, and promote Nevada’s agriculture. The department has 225 dedicated employees providing services in its five divisions, Administrative Services, Animal Industry, Measurement Standards, Food and Nutrition, and Plant Health and Compliance. The department’s $288 million budget facilitates regulatory and administrative work in agriculture and food manufacturing industries, protecting public and environmental health and worker safety and providing food distribution and oversight for the United States Department of Agriculture’s school and community nutrition programs.
