Nearly half of California is mired in exceptional drought, including vast swaths of the Central Valley, which produces roughly 40% of the nation's fruits, vegetables and nuts. Water shortages in the region are having profound effects on growers, who are uprooting crops, letting fields lie fallow and turning their lands into solar farms and other uses. We'll hear from farmers about how the drought is affecting their operations and the steps they're taking to mitigate the worst impacts.

When it comes to agricultural output, California is truly the cream of the crop. The Golden State produces one-third of the nation's vegetables and two-thirds of its fruit. And those grapes you're enjoying, either in a bowl or in a glass? Odds are they were grown on a California farm. While the California sunshine, mild temperatures, and fertile soil make for optimal growing conditions, there would be no California agricultural industry without hardworking farmers and farmworkers. They toil day in and day out all year long to cultivate everything from juicy oranges and peaches to crunchy almonds. In recognition of those tireless workers, California Grown has designated October California Farmer and Farmworker Month. To mark the occasion, California Now Podcast host Soterios Johnson interviews farmers located in two of the state’s richest agricultural regions—the Central Valley and the Central Coast. Johnson first learns about the family history and traditions of a multigenerational peach and stone-fruit farm outside of Fresno. He then talks with an urban winemaker based in Paso Robles who got her start cleaning wine cellars. After that, he chats with a Central Valley grape and almond farmer who has been working the fields for 50 years.

California produces more food than any other state in the nation. Over one-third of U.S. vegetables and two-thirds of U.S. fruits and nuts are grown in California. But drought, wildfire, and the impacts of climate change are increasing across the state. How are the farmers doing? And how are the young farmers doing? Lindsey talks with Mai Nguyen, Young Farmers' California Organizer, based in San Diego, who is also a heritage grain farmer, activist, and former climate researcher. Mai authored the 2019 California Young Farmers Report for the National Young Farmers Coalition which drops later this week.

PatiCakes, Queen of Cannabis; Dr T, Sidekick; Kandice Hawes, Executive Director Orange County NORML, David James, Secretary Orange County NORML discuss with guest Dani of Sacramento, what is going on in Sacramento.................. The Farmer's Daughter restaurant and Bakery in Sacramento was raided in 2012 and police say they had 80 lbs of pot! Well it was something like 2 pounds! More lies & deceit to make a bust! And from what Dani says, the raids are still happening in Sacramento! Didn't they get the email from the government? BIG NEWS...........California Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 566 which will allow California Farmers to grow industrial Hemp upon federal approval........Maybe I won't have to have my Hemp Tote Bags "Made in China"!! Canada knows how to do it, they are pumping $1.3Billion into new pot growing project! Take notice United States, you are in the dark Ages!! Hey who turned the lights off? California indoor Growers blow out electrical lines in a "quiet" residential neighborhood in Stanislaus County. They used so much electricity that they overloaded the grid & burned through cables supplying the entire neighborhood!! WTF! America's First Hemp Crop Harvest In Almost 60 Years Begins In Colorado!! YAY!! Hemp Hemp Hooray!! Back in May, Springfield, Colo. farmer Ryan Lofin planted 55 acres of hemp -- the first hemp crop planted in the U.S. in nearly 60 years. Last week, Lofin and others harvested the historic hemp plants by hand as advocates watched. The passage of Amendment 64 in Colorado last November, which famously legalized marijuana for recreational use by adults, also allows for the commercial growing of hemp. And now that Attorney General Eric Holder recently announced that the Department of Justice will allow Colorado's new marijuana laws to go into effect, this harvest may be the symbolic first that restarts a once-booming American industry, if other farmers choose to follow Lofin's lead. "This is monumental for our industry," said Bruce Perlowin, chief executive of Hemp Inc., to The Denver Post back when Lofin first planted his crop. "It will unlock a clean industrial revolution that will be good for the economy, good for jobs and good for the environment." http://norml.org/ca/item/sacramento-norml http://hempradio.com/ http://orangecountynorml.org/ http://normlwomensalliance.org/ We love hearing from you at paticakes@hempradio.com Be Safe Be Smart Have a Fabulous Time!
