October is a scary month in Northern California. The warm, dry windy weather puts our area in high fire danger, especially rural farms and ranches. And that threat is compounded with PG&E’s new policy of shutting down electrical power to many areas of rural Northern California for days at a time whenever it gets dry and windy. We have that report. Milk production is up, but prices are uncertain. Thinking of putting in a new crop or starting a farm from scratch? We talk about a great University of California website that lets you know the actual costs, along with the potential returns. And we visit with a Northern California explorer, seeking out Gold Rush era fruit and nut trees, plants that may hold the keys for the future of California agriculture. All that, crop reports, and more…on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour.
