💧 SGMA implementation is moving forward across California — but what does that mean for growers on the ground?

Join us for a Tailgate focused on regional groundwater updates, agricultural water use, and practical insight into what growers should expect moving forward.

📅 Tuesday, June 2 | 9:00–11:00 AM
📍 Dierberg & Star Lane Vineyards | Lompoc, CA

Hear directly from groundwater agency representatives in:
• Monterey
• Paso Robles
• San Luis Obispo
• Santa Ynez
• San Antonio

They’ll share updates on:
💧 Groundwater Sustainability Plans
📊 Actions underway in each region
🌱 What growers should prepare for next

Plus, Mark Battany will discuss how Land IQ is using evapotranspiration (ET) data to better understand agricultural water use and support SGMA planning in regions including the Santa Ynez Valley and Paso Robles Basin.

Topics include:
• Consumptive use estimates
• ET measurements & modeling
• Potential water conservation strategies

Attendees can also join an optional vineyard tour following the event, where Taylor Jones (Star Lane & Dierberg) will share lessons learned from:
🌱 Eight years of no-till farming
🌾 Native cover cropping practices

If SGMA impacts your operation — now or in the future — this is an opportunity to hear regional updates, ask questions, and connect with others navigating the same challenges.
