Thomas Fire hits So Cal ag. More CVP water for farms? All about fennel.

Weather, water and natural disasters top the New Year’s list of worries for California’s farmers. The first Sierra snow measurements of 2018 were taken this past week, we have the numbers. Will the freezing temperatures throughout the east, south and midwest play havoc with future commodity prices for California’s farmers? We look at the winter weather’s impact on farms and ranches across the country. The first agricultural monetary damage totals are in from Southern California’s massive Thomas Fire.
