China tariffs upend CA farmers export plans. MWD to finance Delta tunnels.

from KSTE Farm Hour

California’s farmers are scrambling to find foreign customers for their produce, goods that were earmarked for China. But with the US-China tariff battle escalating by the day, there is a lot of uncertainty for the state’s farmers. We have the details. Southern California’s Metropolitan Water District has voted - despite a lot of opposition - to provide most of the financing for California Water Fix, the controversial Delta Tunnels project that has Delta farmers putting their lawyers on speed dial. We’ve got the latest, along with reaction from one of that project’s biggest critics. The results of late winter and early spring rains may be showing up now as nutritional deficiencies in your tree crops. We talk with an expert on what you should be doing. Rice planting is set to begin in Northern California, the avocado harvest is starting up in Southern California…things are getting busy in the fields! All this, and more, on the KSTE Farm Hour.
