Ag Pass Training Classes:
The agricultural and livestock access pass program allows eligible commercial farmers and ranchers access (conditions permitting) to their crops and livestock to perform essential farming and ranching activities during emergencies and wildfire evacuations.
On April 2nd, 2026, 9am-1pm (rescheduled date), we will be holding an initial training for passholders from both El Dorado and Amador County in person at our office. The annual renewal training will be held virtually on March 26th at 6pm.
Register for a training session here: https://surveys.ucanr.edu/survey.cfm?surveynumber=48825, or contact us for more information.
To qualify for the program, you must have one of the following:
5 acres or more of planted crops
50 head (including in utero) of livestock, not including horses
50 beehives
100 poultry or rabbits
To receive a pass, you must attend the four-hour initial training class and sign a notarized waiver of liability. To renew the pass, you must attend a one-hour renewal training every year. Passes are non-transferable, and every individual who wishes to have access must attend the training class. Passholders will be allowed entry into evacuation zones as conditions allow and may be denied access by incident command due to worsening conditions in the disaster area.
Please list the physical address(es) and/or APNs for each property where crops/livestock may be located during the next 12 months. Include approximate season of use and a description/approximate number of crop acres and/or livestock on site.
