Rising Chinese tariffs unnerve farmers. Bruce Rominger on conservation agriculture.

The latest rise in tariff tensions with China has more and more farmers getting nervous about their lost sales.

And we talk with a prominent Northern California farming family about the importance of conservation and soil improvement practices. All that crop reports, extended weather, and a lot more…on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour.
