One visit to the Sacrament Valley provides ample evidence of the valuable environmental role of rice. Our farmers have had tremendous success partnering with conservation groups, instituting numerous programs that maintained or sometimes even enhanced wildlife habitat.

That’s why this week’s announcement of Carlos Suarez as our new State Conservationist is such welcome news.
Carlos has the experience, drive and leadership to keep the string of environmental successes enjoyed in rice country. I’m very excited about what he brings to the job.
Carlos spent three years as California’s Deputy State Conservationist, so he understands natural resource issues in our state. He will move from his job as State Conservationist in Florida and will start work in California next month.
On behalf of California rice farmers, we welcome you back Carlos and look forward to many successful programs in the coming years!
Paul Buttner is Manager of Environmental Affairs for the California Rice Commission.
