The Western Agricultural Processors Association (WAPA) and the Agriculture Energy Consumers Association will present the 2014 Agriculture Energy Conference on Nov. 12, 2014 at the Fresno Hotel and Conference Center (formally The Radisson Hotel) at 2233 Ventura St. in Fresno, Calif.

The conference will bring together hundreds of leading California growers, agriculture processors, and dairy producers together with utilities, renewable energy developers and vendors to explore trends in energy rates, renewable energy, and energy efficiency opportunities. Conference participants will hear firsthand experiences from similar agricultural growers or agricultural processing operations, as well as industry experts about the successful renewable energy projects they have embarked on.

The one-day conference will include two panels--one for dairy--that will discuss solar and bioenergy opportunities, programs and trends. Attendees will also have the chance to visit and ask questions with local vendors about renewable energy potential at their operations.

For more information, contact WAPA at 559-455-9272 or visit our website for registration and more information at www.agprocessors.org/events.
