Aug. 27: Lawsuits filed against Delta Tunnels. Japanese beetles in OR.

Counties, including Sacramento County… cities, such as Folsom and Elk Grove…indian tribes and fishing organizations… they’re just a few of the 58 groups that have filed suit against the state of California, to stop the Delta Tunnels project. History, though, is not on their side. We have the details. The state’s Department of Pesticide Regulation is set to institute further restrictions on the use of a widely used farm pesticide, Chlorpyrifos. There’s a huge Japanese Beetle infestation in Oregon. Should California’s farmers and nursery industry be concerned? And we talk about what Bayer CropScience is doing to help California’s ag industry grow crops more sustainably. All that, crop reports, and more…on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour.
