Meet the attendees, exhibitors and speakers behind the conversations. Watch the complete, captioned interviews.
I don't think there's another publication that has more trust in the valley, in the industry. For us it puts us right in front of the people we want to talk to.
I know I get leads from your magazine. You guys are so great to work with.
They are the go-to magazines for us because they reach the audience we want to reach.
Crop Consultant Conference · 2026
“This conference is taking off, you know. This is one of the hot ones out there, so we would not miss it.”
“It's a great way to network with current customers and even new customers.”
“It's nice to catch up with a lot of these guys and hear about the new things that are going on in the industry.”
“I really like it. I've been coming to it since it started.”
“The opportunity to come and learn a few products and processes that are happening in the industry is just absolutely fantastic.”
“I like that there's one-hour trade show breaks, so it gives the attendees enough time to interact with the exhibitors.”
“What we really appreciate about the conference is the access to the PCAs and people making a difference in recommendations in agriculture.”
“This is one of the very best shows out there. And you can meet with the people that make a difference in your business.”
“Our booth traffic was fantastic. Talking with folks all day yesterday and today.”
“We've seen a lot of leads come from this, and it's been a really good show. Can't wait for next year.”
“Just being able to get face to face with the decision makers and the PCAs and CCAs out here.”
“The show performed super well for us. We made a ton of great contacts.”
“The Crop Consultant Conference is a well-run, well-attended event with CCAs and PCAs that are engaged and ready to learn. It’s the place to be.”
“People (growers) buy from people (PCA’s) they know and trust. The conference is a great opportunity to mingle with the grower influencers.”
Why exhibitors return
“Because our company, Agromillora California Nursery, is the dominant leader in the most exciting emerging crop in California, Super-High Density olives for oil, we find that we encounter far more serious professionals looking toward the future at the Crop Consultant Conference over all other trade shows.”
West Coast Nut is the best popular publication covering the latest research and extension information on nut crops in California.Verified reader
