Feds issue Delta water plans, favoring farms over fish. Farm bankruptcies up.

from KSTE Farm Hour

Donald Trump has kept his word to California’s farmers. He’s attempting to shift Delta water away from fish and send it to the farms and cities of the Central Valley. The details are in the just-released U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Biological Assessment for the Delta. And there’s already blowback. Farmers are filing for bankruptcy in record numbers in the Midwest. But what about California’s farmers? How healthy is their financial outlook? We talk with a noted ag economist. For great crops, you need great soil. And there’s a research facility here that you need to visit to see some really great soil in action. Think Valentine’s Day is a big day for Northern California flower growers? You better think again. We visit one and find out why they’re concentrating instead on weddings and special events. All that and more on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour. Let’s get started!
