AgPass is Now Available for Commercial Agriculture Producers 

Inyo and Mono counties have introduced a new way to help commercial agriculture producers  protect their operations during natural disasters. Under the AgPass program, counties can now issue  special passes that may allow producers to enter evacuation zones for critical tasks—such as moving  livestock or irrigating crops—when it’s safe to do so. Both Inyo and Mono counties have officially  adopted this program through recently passed resolutions.

To qualify for an AgPass, producers must verify their commercial status by submitting documentation,  completing required fire safety training, and providing property maps.

Please note that access is not guaranteed through this program and is still subject to permission from  incident command staff and may be conditioned to certain areas or timeframes.

Applications are now available online through the Inyo-Mono Counties Agricultural Commissioner’s  page on the Inyo County website: www.inyocounty.us. Producers can also call (760) 873-7860 to  arrange an in-person meeting to apply.
