Hello, Kern County! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself as the new Executive Director of the Kern County Farm Bureau. My name is Rachel Nettleton, and I am honored to serve our local farmers and ranchers in this important role. With a diverse background in marketing and a passion for supporting our community, I am eager to bring fresh ideas and a renewed commitment to the agricultural industry.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with several well-known organizations here in Kern County, such as the Bakersfield Condors and Houchin Community Blood Bank. Working closely with our community, I developed a deep appreciation for the power of collaboration. These experiences have equipped me with a robust skill set that I am excited to bring to the Kern County Farm Bureau.
As the Executive Director, I aim to bolster the efforts of our local farmers and ranchers, ensuring that their needs are met. I firmly believe that agriculture is the backbone of our community, and it is crucial to nurture and support this vital industry. Collaboration will be the heart of my approach. Together, we will tackle challenges, explore innovative strategies, and celebrate the remarkable contribution of Kern County’s agricultural sector.
I believe that effective leadership is built on open communication and a strong sense of community. With your input and support, we can forge a path forward that preserves our agricultural heritage. I am grateful for this opportunity, and I am looking forward to working alongside our great community.
