CVP, SWP increase water allotments to CA farmers. ACP pest found in Sac. Co.

Congratulations, you’ve just enjoyed the wettest winter on record in the United States. And this spring and summer, California’s farmers will see increased water allocations from the Central Valley Project and the State Water Project. We have the numbers. The deadliest pest to California’s citrus industry has found its way into Sacramento County. The Asian Citrus Psyllid, which vectors citrus greening disease, was found earlier this month in the city of Sacramento. The County’s Agricultural commissioner will tell us how that find will effect the way citrus is handled on both residential and commercial levels. The farmers of tomorrow may be getting their start at Sacramento’s Cosumnes River College. We chat with the head of that school’s Horticulture Department. All that, and more, on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour.
