Agricultural Burning will soon be prohibited in the San Joaquin Valley. The Air District is required by law to expedite the phase out of agricultural burning beginning in September 2021 and ban all Ag burning, with very few exceptions, by 2025. The District will present its phase-out plan to the CA Air Resources Board for approval in August.
On June 11th, the District will host an informative webinar for growers about the upcoming prohibitions and the available grants for alternative practices. Attendance at this workshop is highly encouraged.
If you have questions, please contact CCM’s Director of Government Affairs Alyssa Houtby at (559) 592-3790.
