If you work in the almond industry, you likely know non-infectious bud failure (NBF) is bad news. However, do you understand why NBF happens, and that we're likely to see it on future almond varieties, not just on Carmel? Tom Gradziel discusses the science behind NBF and the work UC researchers together with nurseries have done to make massive gains in addressing the problem. You can lead more about managing NBF at: sacvalleyorchards.com/almonds/horticulture/non-infectious-bud-failure-management Come to an upcoming extension meeting!2025 International School on Microirrigation for Crop Production: Class Lectures at UC Davis October 13-15, and field trips October 16-17.

Regenerative agriculture is currently all the rage these days in some circles. With a broad range of practices that can be classified as regenerative, it still can feel like a mushy term that means different things to different people (which is actually by design). Amelie Gaudin sits down with Phoebe Gordon to discuss what qualifies as a regenerative practice, how the focus differs from “conventional” agriculture, and the science behind it (spoiler alert: you're probably already familiar with a lot of it!).

Walnut scale is a minute insect pest that can, if populations build high enough and kill fruiting wood. It can do this by directly allowing pathogens entry into walnut wood, or by weaking branches, making them more vulnerable to infection. In this episode In this episode, Elizabeth Fichtner discusses the lifecycle of the pest and control options.

In this Almond Byte episode, the Almond Board of California's Global Trade and Regulatory Affairs (GTRA) team takes a look back at the 2024/25 crop year, highlighting progress on key trade and technical fronts. From securing a breakthrough aflatoxin pre-testing protocol for almond exports to Japan, to helping a 50% tariff reduction in Pakistan, ABC's efforts have expanded market access and strengthened global partnerships. The review also covers new initiatives in Morocco, Turkey, India, and beyond, as well as the recognition of almond quality standards at the UNECE forum and collaborative work with regulators to ensure the continued global movement of California almonds.
When documentarian Shalom Almond received access to document a group of women prisoners training retired greyhounds to become house-friendly pets for her 2017 film Prisoners and Pups, she opened up a door to be able to capture the hidden stories of women prisoners in Australian jails. Prisoners and Pups is a gentle film that shows the power of rehabilitation programs in prisons, not just for the prisoners, but also for the greyhounds.Now, in 2025, she is back with her essential documentary Songs Inside. Here Shalom captures the lives of women in the Adelaide Women's Prison, becoming part of their lives for six-months as she documents their participation in a music program which sees prisoners learn how to play the ukulele, write songs, and sing, all in preparation for a performance with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra in front of 200 inmates. The climactic performance became the largest concert staged within an Australian correctional facility.Along the journey, Shalom sits in the cells of the prisoners listening to their stories, accompanies them to hearings, and captures their rehearsal processes. Art becomes a salvation for those inside, a release that is given to the prisoners who show good behaviour. But Shalom is not alone in this process, with Barkindji singer-songwriter Nancy Bates guiding their process to becomes singers and songwriters in their own right.There's a beautiful charm to Songs Inside that never detracts the reality that these are women who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law. But Shalom also never focuses on what crimes they may have done to find themselves in this situation. Instead, she taps into the notion of redemption, showing in the process that their futures are in their hands and this musical process is a part of the healing journey they find themselves on.Ahead of Songs Inside's screenings at the Melbourne International Film Festival, I had a chat with Shalom about her work on the film, what it means to be a supportive filmmaker for her subjects, and more. With a career that spans over two decades, Shalom is someone I know I could talk for much longer about her work, and hopefully one day I will.Songs Inside also screens in competition at CinefestOz, with a full release to come down the line.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

This Tuesday on the AgNet News Hour, hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill bring some serious summer heat, minus the triple-digit temperatures, thanks to powerful trade news and a deep-dive into California's almond and walnut outlook. From record-setting tariffs to shifting global markets, today's episode is a must-listen for anyone with a stake in American agriculture. One of the biggest stories this week is Australia reopening its market to U.S. beef. After a 20-year ban due to BSE (mad cow disease) concerns, American beef is now welcomed back under new science-based guidelines. This is a huge development for U.S. cattle producers and represents a growing trust in American food safety and production systems. Also making waves: a major trade agreement with the European Union. With 15% tariffs still in place on European imports and zero tariffs on most U.S. exports, American agriculture and especially energy and automotive industries stand to gain big. Josh and Nick highlight how this deal could bring in over $700 billion annually and open more doors for farmers across the country. But the real meat of today's show comes from an extended interview with Sonny Toor of Valley Pride Ag Company. Toor shares his insight on California's almond and walnut markets, addressing the USDA's surprisingly high crop estimate and its impact on grower prices. Despite the lower-than-hoped-for market numbers, Toor remains optimistic, stressing the long-term strength of U.S. nut exports and the need to strengthen domestic demand. He also calls for increased marketing efforts from the Walnut Board to match the momentum already seen in the almond sector. Toor's message to growers? Don't lose hope. Stay focused on quality and trust your marketing partners to ride the wave of global trade shifts. The episode wraps with a reminder about the upcoming Citrus & Specialty Crop Expo in Tampa on August 20–21. It's a great opportunity for California growers to connect with industry peers from across the country.

In July's Almond Byte, international trade developments take center stage. A Moroccan delegation visited California in late June, engaging with almond handlers and ABC staff to discuss export solutions that could open new trade opportunities. Meanwhile, Pakistan has slashed almond import tariffs by 50%, the result of years of collaboration between ABC and other stakeholders to boost almond access and demand. Encouraging news also comes from the EU, where import inspections under the Pre-Export Check (PEC) program have returned to below 1%. Finally, almond exporters to China should take note: facility registration renewals through GACC are now open for eligible firms, and timing is critical.

On today's AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Josh McGill dive deep into some of the hottest topics shaking up California agriculture, starting with major developments in the almond industry. Market shock hit growers as a recent USDA estimate pegged this year's crop at 3 billion pounds, 300 million more than previously expected. Nick Foglio of Foglio Commodities joined the show for an emergency interview, breaking down how this unexpected number triggered a 50-cent drop in almond prices almost overnight. That drop could mean a 20% loss in projected profit for growers, potentially pushing some close to break-even levels. “Growers were feeling optimistic, and now that's been flipped on its head,” said Foglio, who warned the discrepancy could even lead to legal action against the USDA for the impact of a possibly inflated estimate. Despite the downturn, Foglio believes strong marketing and quality California product could help stabilize the market over time. Also making headlines are two devastating fires: one at the Tomatek tomato processing plant in Firebaugh, and another at a major Calpine warehouse in Lamont. The latter burned to the ground, creating immediate logistics challenges for South Valley growers who rely on the facility for packaging materials. On a more hopeful note, former Westlands Water District director Kevin Assemi joined the program to share innovative ideas for solving California's ongoing water woes. Assemi, who spearheaded a farmer-led groundwater recharge program, emphasized the need for collaboration and transparency among agencies, cities, and growers to ensure smarter water management without billion-dollar investments. With perfect Central Valley weather, the show wrapped up with light-hearted banter about watermelons, grocery store strategies, and support for FFA youth. The hosts previewed upcoming FFA interviews and celebrated the strong summer crop season.

We know pistachios, and we love to eat them. Despite pistachio ice cream being the objectively best way to consume this nut , the majority of pistachios are sold in-shell. Have you ever wondered how those shells split? In this episode, Phoebe sits down with Shuxiao (Susan) Zhang and Georgia Drakakaki, two of the authors of a recently published study on the mechanisms behind pistachio shell splitting. They discuss how the cells of a shell enable splitting, whether kernel size really does impact split percentage, and why Golden Hills has a higher split percentage than Kerman.Come to an upcoming extension meeting!In the Sacramento Valley: North Sac Valley Groundwater and SGMA is on Tuesday, June 24Save the date for Prune Research Tour Part 2 on Tuesday, July 15 The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed are the speaker's own and do not represent the views, thoughts, and opinions of the University of California.

My guest this week is Tabin Almond who shares her powerful journey from high-functioning drinking to lasting sobriety. In this episode: Tabbin grew up in a drinking culture and entered the boozy world of advertising. She tried AA but couldn't relate – the labeling and negative focus didn't resonate. Her breast cancer diagnosis became a pivotal moment Tabbin read This Naked Mind and had coaching support to stop drinking for good. She's now a certified alcohol-free coach working with professionals and organisations. She's written a book called Bottling Up Trouble – which explores the hidden costs of alcohol in the workplace. There are some fascinating statistics in her book – including the fact that: 94% of people lie about alcohol-related sick days. The book also examines how workplace drinking culture impacts productivity, safety, inclusion, and wellbeing. Tabbin encourages companies to shift away from booze-centric bonding events and lead with empathy. She has a free assessment tool which you can access here:- bottlinguptrouble.com – this assessment tool enables both leaders and employees to review any problem areas and start a dialogue Her book advocates for compassion, culture change, and better health education around alcohol.

Three PhD entomologists with UC Cooperative Extension: Sudan Gyawaly, Jhalendra Rijal, and Houston Wilson discuss integrated management of the leaffooted and stink bug pest complexes in California nut crops. Be sure to first listen to part I where the three experts discuss phenology and monitoring of these pest complexes. More information on controlling plant bugs in almonds and pistachios can be found on the UCIPM website; there are separate pages for stink bugs and leaffooted bugs, and in pistachio, small bugs.
