California’s wildfires are bringing more pain to growers here in Northern California, as well as Southern California. We have the details. Farm bankruptcies are up across the nation, and that includes California, which saw a 65% increase in the number of Chapter 12 bankruptcy filings. We talk with the Chief Economist of the American Farm Bureau Federation on why farm bankruptcies are up in California. The USDA and the National Resources Conservation Service are celebrating no-till November. What are the benefits of keeping the stubble? We explain. All that, a look at the upcoming weather, and more, including a look at whole orchard recycling, on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour.
