Sierra snowpack up. Tariffs hurt CA ag exports. Fighting powdery mildew.

It’s been a whirlwind week of farm-related events here in California. First the good news: the March snowpack got off to a great start in the Sierra, helping out water supplies for the farm and cities of the Golden State this summer. And then, the rather nervous news: the imposition of steel and aluminum tariffs by the Trump administration may cause serious blowback to California farm sales this year. Also, concern over the lack of progress on NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. And the lack of an immigration solution from Washington to insure a very needed supply of farm labor for Calfornia. Also, we have tips for battling powdery mildew on this year’s wine grape crop. It’s all coming up on this edition of the KSTE Farm Hour.
