Subcommittees are organized to address current issues and details of various Farm Bill programs. Occasionally, ad hoc subcommittees may also be created to address special programs or as determined by the State Conservationist. Subcommittee meetings are scheduled to coincide with requirements for implementation of specific programs. The organization of the California State Technical Committee also includes a link to Local Work Groups. Through a locally led process, Local Work Groups also serve an advisory role and may participate in meetings.
