The Fresno County Farm Bureau welcomes new president Brian Pacheco.
Pacheco, a fourth generation dairy producer, was elected to the position in November. Since the early 1900s Pacheco’s family began dairy farming in Arcadia, seeking a dryer climate Pacheco’s great-grandfather relocated the family to Kerman. Today Pacheco continues the family tradition in Kerman at Pacheco Dairy Inc.
The dairy farm is part of the California Dairies, Inc. cooperative. In 1991 Pacheco became an active member in the FCFB, even taking a position as Director for Rural Health and Safety in 2002.
Today Pacheco works alongside his parents Jerry and Arlene Pacheco with over 1,300 Holstein cows. Their farm covers 1,000 acres in the Kerman area.
Not only does Pacheco work on the executive board of the Fresno County Farm Bureau, but he also works as a Trustee of the Kerman Unified School Board, the Fresno Madera Farm Credit Board of Directors, the CDI Board of Directors and the Community Regional Medical Center Board of Directors.
