KSTE Farm Hour. Threat of immigration raids keeps CA farm laborers at home. Pear harvest begins.

President Trump’s Tweets about starting immigration raids in California are putting farmers in a bind. Fearful farm workers are already skipping going to work. We have that report. One of the most popular crops from the Delta region, pears, will start getting packed this month, and there are high hopes for another outstanding harvest. More money may be on the way to help control the 20 pound rodent, the Nutria. This pest is digging its way northward in the region, weakening fragile levee systems. And your four legged friend in the back of your pickup truck may turn out to be the next best weapon for conquering citrus greening disease. All that, and more, on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour.
