The Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office will be holding a grower meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 12 at the Woodcrest Library to discuss the OFF quarantine expansion in the area. In addition, growers will have the opportunity to ask questions and hear from USDA, CDFA and Riverside County staff. The county will also be assisting growers, shippers and packers with completing their compliance agreements for the movement of fruit within the quarantine area.
