About the California Agriculture Special Interest License Plates
In April 2013, the first CalAgPlates were issued by the DMV — establishing the California Agriculture Special Interest License Plate. The issuance of the plates was approximately a three-year effort that first began in 2010. For a Special Interest License Plate to be established, more than 7,500 paid reservations needed to be received. As a result of the continued efforts of many student volunteers and agricultural organizations the 2024 program was made possible.
Annual revenue generated from the original purchase and renewal of CalAgPlate helps to support the CalAgPlate Grant Program and agriculture education in California.
You can help support agricultural education and the CalAgPlate program by purchasing a special interest license plate at your local DMV office or online today.
Alert: Possible Scam: CDFA Grant Notifications Requesting Payment in Exchange for Grant Awards.
CDFA has been made aware of numerous scams soliciting payment from applicants to award grants. CDFA does not charge fees for application or administration of grants and awards are never made based on payments from applicants. If you believe you may be a victim of this effort, you are encouraged to contact your local law enforcement (Police or Sheriff's Department).
