On June 26, 2025, the VINE Connect West Side Field Day will take place at the UC ANR West Side Research and Extension Center in Fresno County. This farmer-focused event offers a unique opportunity to see cutting-edge agricultural technologies in action on the farm. Growers, researchers, and ag professionals will come together to explore practical solutions to California’s pressing farm challenges – from water conservation and pest management to labor efficiency and crop pollination. Attendees can observe live demonstrations of innovative ag tech, engage directly with the startup teams, and provide valuable feedback to help shape these tools for real-world farming needs. It’s a hands-on morning of learning and collaboration aimed at accelerating ag innovation through on-farm demonstrations and grower input.
