There are about 25 million acres of farm and ranch land in California. Which commodity utilizes the most acreage? It’s almonds, and more and more almond trees are going in the ground in the Golden State. We have the numbers. Hard to say which is flowing faster right now, water from California’s dams, or lawsuits, to stop the flow of water from dams intended for California’s farmers. We have the latest news on that front. And, we dive into a sea of garbanzo beans, a crop that is also enjoying an increase in acreage here. All that, crop reports, the extended weather, and…what about using robots in meat processing plants? It’s all coming up, on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour.
