Wildfires destroy wineries. Smoke protection for farmworkers. Hemp rules.

Another round of out of control California wildfires is causing havoc among grape growers in Sonoma County’s wine country. Another area of concern: all that wildfire smoke. We report on new rules by Cal Osha to protect the lungs of farmers and others who labor outdoors. The USDA has rolled out its long-awaited hemp production rules…we do a deep dive into that new layer of agricultural bureaucracy. The US Mexico Canada Trade agreement may get approval soon from Democratic lawmakers. The President of the California Farm Bureau Federation talks about the importance of agricultural trade with our next door neighbors. And, congratulations to a local high school ag teacher, who just won national recognition…and some money for his school, to boot. All that, crop reports, a look at the weather ahead, and a lot more…on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour.
