Farmers in Nevada County, along with the Nevada County Agriculture Department and UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) have established an Ag Pass Access Program to facilitate crop production and human safety before, during, and after wildfire and other emergencies.


Ag Passholders may be permitted into evacuation zones, or other restricted areas, to care for crops and critical infrastructure essential to their operation. Safe access by trained and qualified farm personnel is critical to farm business continuity, firefighter and public safety.



For NEW Commercial Agriculture Operators:



  • A new Commercial Agriculture Operator must complete an initial 4-hour training. 

  • Training will be offered on Wednesday, April 22 from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. in Nevada County.

  • Meeting details will be provided upon registration for the program.

  • Please note that farm owners, family members, and managerial employees are eligible to participate. Employees who receive hourly pay are not eligible.


For assistance completing the online registration, contact Andrea Warner at (530) 615-7317 or alnwarner@ucanr.edu


This is if you are applying for a Nevada County Agriculture Disaster Access Pass for the first time.



For Ag Pass RENEWAL:



  • Farmers who received a pass in prior years will need to complete a one-hour virtual training session.


This is only if you have previously held a Nevada County Agriculture Disaster Access Pass.
