The following contact information is for organizations and institutions that provide technical assistance (TA) in the Southern California 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.
This list contains contact information for technical assistance providers across the whole state. Many organizations provide assistance in multiple counties and regions, while some are only able to assist those in their own counties.
