CASS Mission Statement
Our Mission
We will protect and support California’s agricultural industry, and the consumers of its products by providing Human Resources services through staff who fairly, impartially and reliably carry out their work.
Our Purpose
CASS was formed originally as a partnership between the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) and the Counties of Yolo and Trinity. Since then, CASS’ reach has expanded to most counties throughout California. The purpose for forming CASS was to create an agency to carry out program activities in support of agricultural inspection, pest prevention and other programs administered by CDFA or county agricultural commissioners and other organizations.
