Join California Assemblymembers Alexandra Macedo and Heath Flora for a policy-forward discussion focused on legislative actions impacting pistachio growers, ag communities, and public health advocates. Moderated by Cadee Condit and Zachary Fraser, this panel will provide timely insights into Sacramento’s evolving priorities, as well as APG’s ongoing advocacy in California and beyond.
As leaders on agricultural, budgetary, and health-related issues, Macedo and Flora will offer an inside look at how pistachios and other specialty crops are being positioned for success—across trade, insurance, nutrition, and education policies.

‘Feed the Curve’ with The White BoxTM from DPG
Every crop follows a unique nutrient demand curve throughout its growing season, varying by nutrient to support its vital functions. This session explores the DPG Continuous FertigationTM approach, designed to precisely meet or feed this curve for all nutrients. We’ll present long-term efficacy data from production-scale pistachio orchards, demonstrating enhanced yields and improved nutrient use efficiency, particularly for Nitrogen and Potassium. Learn how you can ‘Feed the Curve’ to get more crop per drop of fertilizer!
