The Fresno State President’s Commission on the Future of Agriculture presents a special showing of the documentary “Farmland,” a film by James Moll, on Thursday, Nov. 12, at Maya Cinemas.

The screening begins at 6:30 p.m., and includes a 5 p.m. reception featuring Fresno State farm products and wine.

After the film, a panel discussion will feature Ryan Veldhuizen, a fourth-generation corn, hog and soybean farmer who is featured in the movie; Debbie Raven, Valley Small Business Development Corp. CEO; Randy Krotz, U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance CEO; Karen Ross, secretary for the California Department of Food and Agriculture; and Ryan Jacobsen, Fresno County Farm Bureau executive director and CEO.

Released in 2014, the movie depicts the high-risk, high-reward lifestyle of running a family farm.

Individual tickets are $100, and sponsor ticket packages are available at the production level ($1,000, includes four tickets) and premier level ($2,500, includes 10 tickets).

Proceeds from the event will establish the Dean’s Fund for Excellence in the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology.
