The following contact information is for organizations and institutions that provide technical assistance (TA) in the San Joaquin Valley and Sierras region. CDFA also tracks contact information for technical assistance providers for the Healthy Soils Program and Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP) on their website here.
Many organizations provide assistance in multiple counties and regions, while some are only able to assist those in their own counties. Resource Conservation Districts (RCD) boundaries often span across county lines. Find out more about RCD district boundaries here.
