My name is Mandeep Singh, and I’m honored to serve as the Agronomy Advisor for Sacramento, Solano, and Yolo counties, based at the UCCE Capitol Corridor office in Woodland. From an early age, I was involved in managing row crops like alfalfa, wheat, cotton, rice, sorghum, and oats, as well as caring for livestock on my family's farm. I did my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in agronomy from Punjab Agricultural University.
