CA snow pack off to a good start. USMCA trade pact hits snags in Senate. Walnuts. Alpacas.

There’s good news on the outlook for 2020 surface water supplies. We’ll take a hike into the Sierra Nevada mountains to explain. California farmers are anxiously awaiting ratification of the USMCA trade agreement, to get some certainty about their farm sales to Mexico and Canada again. But there are holdups in the U.S. Senate, including one big impending obstacle. We trace the path of the California walnut tree, from seedling to harvest to processing to your lunchbox. And, is there an alpaca - or two - in your future? We’ll explore if this beast of burden is right for your ranch…or ranchette. All that, and a lot more, on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour.
