As if the ongoing tariff battles weren’t enough to keep California’s farmers on edge, the record rains of May throughout much of the Golden State’s prime ag areas added to their concerns.

There is one California crop that is coming out ahead in the latest tariff troubles with China. And that’s garlic. We’ll tell you why.

We delve into the details of growing this cool season legume. All that, crop reports, and more…on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour.
