During the month of February and March, Western Growers facilitated the California LGMA priority setting process. On March 27, 2025, the CA LGMA approved the following two priorities:
- Water Section Review: Continue the review of water, started last year, with the following objectives.
- Simplify and clarify requirement language to enhance understanding.
- Assess the metrics from a scientific perspective and update requirements based on the latest scientific evidence.
- Formation of a Second Working Group: Establish a second working group to meet monthly and evaluate improvements related to AZ and CA LGMA alignment. The group will prepare a brief final report for the 2026 PSC outlining areas for possible improvement.
What is next?
- April– May: The working groups for the selected priorities will begin working on drafting metric updates.
- June: Western Growers will host a 30-day comment period for the public to provide feedback on the draft generated by the working group.
- July: the working group will address the comments submitted by the public.
