UCCE Launches “Thoughts on Rice” Podcast

The University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) has launched “Thoughts on Rice”, a new podcast from the UCCE rice advisors. 

This podcast is for growers, PCAs, consultants, and other industry professionals in the rice industry. Episodes will primarily be focused on the Sacramento Valley and Delta Region of California. 

The goal is to deliver extension information relating to the California rice industry, but the UCCE is also looking for suggestions for topics that would be of interest to stakeholders.

The podcast website can be found here.
