After growing up on a dairy and working in the nursery business, Andrew Genasci brings firsthand knowledge of family farming to his new role as a regional field representative for the California Farm Bureau Federation. Genasci has joined CFBF as one of five field representatives who serve as liaisons between the statewide organization and the 53 county Farm Bureaus in California.
Genasci, who will be based in Modesto, will serve 12 county Farm Bureaus in the Central California region: Alameda, Calaveras, Fresno, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, San Joaquin, San Mateo, Stanislaus, Tulare and Tuolumne.
“County Farm Bureaus form the backbone of our organization, and Andrew will be a valuable help in coordinating activities among CFBF and county Farm Bureaus in his region,” CFBF President Paul Wenger says.
“As a former county Farm Bureau board member, he understands the needs of our county Farm Bureaus.”
