  • “It is very beneficial to be able to have the camaraderie, not only with other producers, but with brokers, transportation people, suppliers, and other buyers.”
    Bob Sakata (President 2002-2004)

  • “The idea that you could pick up the phone and call Paul in Colorado, or John in Lancaster, California, or others in the NOA to find out on any given day what their feel for the market was—that was one of the best parts of the NOA.”
    Mel Dalton (President 1976-1978)

    Robert Woods (President 1992-1994)
  • “Although I pay to attend the NOA meetings, it does not cost me to be here. It pays me.”

  • “No matter what Mother Mature throws at you as a grower, you just have to keep doing what you know to do and do best, and eventually, it will be rewarded.”
    Darrell Duda (President 2006-2008)
  • “The NOA is a very gracious organization.  I bring something new away from every meeting.”
    Kay Riley (President 2008-2010)
