The Western Pacific NAMA Chapter hosted a reception in conjunction with Media Day Monday at World Ag Expo® in Tulare, CA. AgNet West and World Ag Expo® collaborated to provide an opportunity to network at the one of the world’s largest annual outdoor farm shows.

At the end of the final day of set up and media previews, NAMA members, and potential members, shared food, drinks and conversation while overlooking the show grounds and enjoying views of the Sierra Nevada range.

Thanks to the International Agri-Center® for the photos.
