Join Us at the WG Annual Meeting for a Featured Session: “When Family Farms Give Way to Outsiders”

The 96th Western Growers Annual Meeting will be held from Nov. 2-5, 2022 in Las Vegas, and while the event will have plenty of opportunities for networking and entertainment, it will also host Featured Sessions to help educate members on critical issues facing our industry.

The first Featured Session, “When Family Farms Give Way to Outsiders,” will be held on Nov. 3 at 2:30 p.m.-  4 p.m.

This session will focus on the increasing number of family farmers who have decided to accept an offer from private equity investors. What factors are motivating multigenerational family farmers to seek the exits? What does the increasing presence of private equity newcomers mean for the culture and fabric of the Western produce industry and thousands of rural communities?
