CA farm damage assessment from 2017 fires, floods. Turkey prices down.

California’s farmers are still assessing damage from this year’s major natural disasters: winter and spring flooding, as well as the recent wildfires in California’s premiere wine country.

If you work at a farmer’s market, you’re familiar with the lack of knowledge on the part of many of your customers about how your crops are grown as well as misconceptions about the science and realities behind what you do for a living. We talk with a farm communications expert who will offer tips for bridging the gaps between farmers and consumers. With Thanksgiving approaching, we have lots of turkey talk on this week’s show. And for shoppers, turkey prices right now are very appealing. We’ll tell you why. All that, crop reports, and more…on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour.
