Growers in the New South Wales New England Region are calling for a natural disaster declaration after a freak snowstorm. More than 30 centimetres of snow fell over Arding's Greenhill Orchards - six hundred trees were damaged or lost when protective netting collapsed under the weight of five hundred tonnes of snow. The cost of repairs is already sitting at half a million dollars. Rural Reporter Toby Gough spoke with owner Warren Yeomans about the scale of destruction.

On today's AgNet News Hour, we're sounding the alarm on a major, yet underreported crisis: California's tree nut industry is being ravaged by a surge in rodent populations and the stakes are climbing toward a staggering half-billion dollars in damage. Nick Papagni and Josh McGill dig into the roots of this growing problem with Ryan Jacobson, CEO of the Fresno County Farm Bureau. As Ryan explains, the rodent explosion,  from rats and squirrels to ground squirrels and gophers, has escalated due to several compounding factors: two years of unusually wet weather, an increase in abandoned orchards, and evolving pest behaviors that are making them increasingly difficult to control. These rodents aren't just nibbling at crops, they're chewing through drip irrigation systems, gnawing on tree bark, and wreaking havoc on infrastructure across almond and pistachio orchards. And with regulatory restrictions on traditional rodenticides in California, farmers are left scrambling for alternatives, some even resorting to unconventional tools like the “squirrel cannon.” The problem isn't confined to large farms. Even smaller growers and backyard producers are calling for help as rodents invade residential areas and push into adjacent agricultural land. It's a growing and spreading issue, one that's exhausting both financial and labor resources. Later in the show, we hear from Roger Isom, CEO of both the Western Agricultural Processors Association and the California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association. He weighs in on California's regulatory pressure, labor costs, and the breaking point many growers are reaching. From automation replacing thousands of jobs to energy and freight costs pricing California agriculture out of the global market, Isom paints a sobering picture of the challenges ahead, and urges urgent legislative action. This is part one of a powerful two-part conversation with Isom. Tune in tomorrow for more on the state's climate policies, the future of water infrastructure, and the fight for California agriculture's survival.

In this conversation with Starwind Cannabis leaders Tony McIntosh and Eric Morrison, we unpack why traditional insurance approaches fall short for cannabis operations. From navigating the complex regulatory framework to addressing distinctive risk profiles like high-value crops and cash-heavy transactions, cannabis businesses face challenges that standard BOPs simply weren't designed to handle. The discussion tackles persistent misconceptions head-on and reveals how proper risk management and specialized broker knowledge can make this growing field both accessible and rewarding. We also explore what sets leading cannabis insurance programs apart. Whether you're already working with cannabis clients or considering this expanding opportunity, this episode provides practical insights from industry veterans who understand both insurance fundamentals and the unique demands of the cannabis marketplace.

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.

Drs. Guy Collins (NCSU), Keith Edmisten (NCSU), Sudeep Sidhu (UF), and Josh Lee (AU) join host Camp Hand (UGA) to discuss planting conditions, acreage reduction, and crop management during a challenging 2024 season. Weather patterns, market pressures, and management strategies dominate the conversation as experts share insights on navigating the lowest cotton acreage since the early 1990s.• North Carolina experienced good early planting conditions followed by wet, cool weather that prevented many acres from being planted• Georgia and Florida faced similar patterns with favorable April planting followed by persistent May rainfall that delayed field operations• Alabama growers battled relentless rain, especially in northern regions, pushing planting dates into June• Cotton acreage is down dramatically – Georgia likely 750,000-850,000 acres (vs USDA's 1 million estimate)• North Carolina acreage approximately 40% lower than 2023, around 250,000 acres• Many unplanted acres went to prevented planting rather than alternative crops• Current crop condition is generally good though behind normal development schedule• Specialists recommend efficient management through timely PGR applications, reduced nitrogen rates, and strict adherence to pest thresholds• August rainfall will be the most critical factor for determining final yields• Growers advised to avoid untested specialty products and focus on proven management practices in this low-price environment

In today's AgNet News Hour, hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill bring Central Valley energy to the airwaves with an in-depth and timely conversation featuring Daniel Hartwig, President of the California Fresh Fruit Association. From soaring regulatory costs to looming freight challenges, Hartwig offers a candid look at the pressure facing California growers—and how they're responding with grit and innovation. Hartwig  represents 13 fruit commodities ranging from stone fruit and table grapes to pomegranates and persimmons. But beyond sweet fruit, he carries the weight of advocating for the state's farmers in Sacramento and Washington, where he says “regulatory burdens have multiplied 12 to 14 times over the last decade.” He makes clear that California's growers aren't asking for special treatment—just a level playing field. The episode also tackles key federal and state battles. Proposition 12, California's controversial animal housing law, is now the subject of a federal lawsuit. U.S. Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins calls the law “unconstitutional” and says it limits consumer choice while driving up food costs. Nick and Josh dig into what that lawsuit could mean for producers nationwide. Hartwig's insights on trade, water access, and labor are especially valuable. He warns that California's unique combination of high minimum wage, strict environmental rules, and mounting tariffs is squeezing small and mid-size growers out of the industry. “We've been operating in crisis mode for a long time,” he says—but insists that the pendulum may finally be swinging back toward common sense. From student FFA involvement to rising freight costs and property rights, this episode covers the wide landscape of ag policy and on-the-ground realities.
