Resources for the Press

Here are a number of resources for members of the press. Among these are included articles, research papers, and the AG-HRnet forum. Those members of the press who so desire, may be added to my growing list wishing to receive press releases electronically (PRESS only, please indicate your magazine, farm journal, or paper). Finally, the University of California has a number of contacts available for the press by speacialty area as well as press releases on various topics (see links above).

Press Contacts

These agricultural employers have kindly agreed to accept contacts from the press. If you are a farm employer, and are willing to take questions from the press from time to time, please give me your name and phone number. While not required, we can also include your Email and a short descriptive note.
