Oxbo Partners with Fresno State University
Oxbo, a leader in specialty harvesting and controlled application equipment, is pleased to announce its partnership with the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology at Fresno State. Oxbo will be the official pistachio equipment partner for Fresno State’s 2024 pistachio harvest season.
Fresno State’s 1,000 acre farm contains 97 acres of pistachio orchards, 25 of which are currently bearing and harvestable. The university’s pistachio orchards are located on the corner of North Cedar Avenue and East Sierra Avenue in Fresno, just north of the Fresno State campus.
Oxbo’s employees will operate the Oxbo pistachio shaker, receiver, and bin carrier while providing hands-on instruction to Fresno State students during the pistachio harvest. Students will assist in managing the harvest process and can operate the equipment with supervision and instruction by the Oxbo team.
“Oxbo has invested in supporting agricultural education programs in California for over a decade and we are proud to continue this support through a partnership with Fresno State”, added Cory Venable, Director of Sales and Marketing for Oxbo. “We view our partnership as a way of investing in the future of agriculture.”
In its fruit portfolio, Oxbo supplies grape, berry, coffee, olive, pistachio, and tomato growers with harvesters and other specialty equipment. With six locations in the heart of California agriculture, Oxbo is dedicated to delivering customer-focused solutions and superior service experience.
