S2 E1: Sorting through the California Air Resources Board’s recent amendments to the Small Off-Road Engine program
About this episode
In December, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved new amendments to the Small Off-Road Engine (SORE). California Cattlemen’s Foundation Public Policy Advocate Victoria Rodriguez joins Katie in this first episode of season two to talk about these changes and about what this means for equipment important to ranching.
