On Wednesday, Kevin Warsh oversees his first Fed policy meeting as chair and will hold a news conference afterward. Economists say Warsh will likely aim for a neutral approach, largely because he is taking over the Fed at a challenging time. Four out of five Avenal city council members got voted out of office in a recall election April 28. The city was subsequently served a cease-and-desist by Kings County, which stated that only one city councilmember is authorized to spend funds. Afterwards, the recalled members held a closed session during a meeting on June 11 and voted to keep themselves in office. The CEO’s argument is: Big Tech already gutted local newspapers by dominating ads and audiences—and unless policy changes, local TV news could be the next casualty.

A child’s blunt and enthusiastic response to a reporter’s question about NASA’s Artemis II moon mission has gone viral online. The candid moment delighted viewers and sparked fresh excitement about the next chapter of America’s return to the Moon. Earlier on Tuesday, Kings County announced that the City of Avenal requested six months of continued fire services after Kings County unanimously voted to terminate its contract with the city. The decision to terminate the contract with the City of Avenal followed disagreements over whether or not Avenal’s community center was safe for public use. Astronauts aboard NASA’s Artemis II moon mission will be eating surprisingly hearty meals — including barbecue brisket, tortillas, macaroni and cheese, and fruit smoothies. The shelf‑stable menu was designed to keep the four‑person crew fueled and comfortable during their historic 10‑day journey around the Moon, sparking online buzz about how good space food has become.

Hidden beneath the streets of Fresno, the Forestiere Underground Gardens are one of California’s most unusual attractions — an underground orchard and living space hand‑carved over 40 years by Sicilian immigrant Baldassare Forestiere. Kings County has terminated its fire protection contract with the city of Avenal after city officials moved forward with a community boxing event inside a still‑under‑construction community center, despite warnings from the county fire chief that the building was unsafe. Members of an animal rights activist group are facing up to six and a half years in prison for “rescuing” two baby goats from a Kings County dairy. The activists, who are part of Direct Action Everywhere, say they were rescuing a pair of baby goats that they allege were in immediate need of medical attention. Law enforcement and the Kings County District Attorney’s Office see the four activists’ actions as criminal.

California will rename Cesar Chavez Day after the New York Times reported Wednesday that the labor icon had sexually abused, assaulted and raped girls and women, including his longtime collaborator Dolores Huerta. The Times' yearslong investigation, which was corroborated by more than 60 interviews and hundreds of farmworker union records, broke decades of silence by Chavez's victims, who said they refrained from speaking for fear of tarnishing the union leader's storied reputation. As Californians reel from revelations that upend popular assumptions about Chavez, we talk about how his legacy's being reshaped and hear your reactions. Guests: Miriam Pawel, journalist and author, "The Crusades of Cesar Chavez: A Biography" Manny Fernandez, California editor-at-large, The New York Times Matthew J. Garcia, professor of Latin American, Latino and Caribbean studies, Dartmouth College; author, "From the Jaws of Victory: The Triumph and Tragedy of Cesar Chavez and the Farm Workers Movement" Alexandra Macedo, assemblywoman representing California's 33rd assembly district, which includes Fresno County, Kings County and Tulare County Learn more about your ad choices.

Freight Industry Warning: The February 24 edition of the AgNet News Hour tackled a topic that affects every farmer, processor, retailer, and consumer in California — freight. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill devoted the program to a candid and urgent conversation with Mark Woods and Jose Nunez of Wildwood Express, who say the state's trucking industry is approaching a critical breaking point. Woods, who operates a 45-truck fleet based in Kings County, laid out the growing list of challenges facing California freight companies: rising fuel costs, increasing insurance premiums, emissions regulations, equipment mandates, licensing issues, and deteriorating road infrastructure. While growers often talk about water, labor, and regulation, Woods emphasized that none of it matters if product can't move. “If you can't get it to market, you're dead in the water,” McGill noted — a reality that applies to almonds, tomatoes, citrus, livestock, and every other commodity grown in the state. Fuel remains one of the largest burdens. California diesel prices run significantly higher than neighboring states, and with refinery closures looming, uncertainty around supply and future pricing adds another layer of stress. Woods warned that rising transportation costs inevitably trickle down to consumers — whether it's the price of produce, meat, or a restaurant meal. Insurance is another major pressure point. Freight companies are investing in advanced safety technology — including AI-powered monitoring systems and in-cab cameras — to reduce accidents and protect drivers. Yet despite those investments, insurance costs continue climbing. Woods said companies are doing everything they can to operate safely and efficiently, but margins remain razor thin. Regulatory complexity compounds the issue. Emissions testing requirements, equipment standards, and licensing enforcement create additional compliance hurdles. Woods expressed concern that smaller operators may not survive under the weight of expanding mandates, particularly as newer truck models become more expensive. The conversation also addressed workforce challenges. While interest in commercial driving remains steady, language requirements and licensing scrutiny are impacting available drivers. Meanwhile, California's poor road conditions accelerate wear and tear on already costly equipment. Papagni underscored a critical point: everything in your home — from food to furniture — was delivered by truck. Freight is not optional. It is foundational. As Woods put it, the trucking industry isn't asking for special treatment — just a level playing field and practical policies that allow companies to remain profitable while serving California agriculture. Part two of the freight discussion continues tomorrow.

The February 25 edition of the AgNet News Hour continued a powerful two-part discussion on the growing crisis in California trucking, as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill again welcomed Mark Woods and Jose Nunez of Wildwood Express. Their message was urgent: without meaningful policy changes, the trucking industry that agriculture depends on may not survive. Woods, who operates a 45-truck fleet in Kings County, detailed the mounting pressures squeezing freight companies from every direction. New truck prices have climbed close to $200,000 per unit, with 2027 models expected to increase another $15,000 to $25,000 due to additional emissions requirements and new technology mandates. Meanwhile, repair costs at dealership service centers can exceed $240 per hour — and trucks often sit for days or weeks waiting for qualified technicians. The biggest concern, Woods emphasized, isn't engine reliability. Modern engines remain durable. Instead, nearly every mechanical issue stems from emissions systems, sensors, and regulatory compliance components. Diesel exhaust systems, filters, and electronic sensors frequently trigger downtime, leaving trucks parked while payments, insurance, and payroll continue. For many small and mid-sized fleets, there is no margin for extended downtime. Unlike major corporations with large reserves, independent operators cannot afford long-term research and development risks on unproven equipment. As Woods explained, trucking companies don't need government assistance — they need government to step aside and allow them to operate efficiently. Insurance premiums remain another heavy burden. Companies invest in AI-driven safety systems, in-cab cameras, and electronic logging devices to protect drivers and limit liability. Yet insurance rates continue rising, especially in California's increasingly litigious environment. A single accident can jeopardize both a driver's commercial license and a company's financial stability. Fuel costs add further uncertainty. With refinery closures on the horizon, concerns about diesel availability and potential price spikes loom large. If fuel prices rise dramatically, every product transported — from fertilizer and bee hives to finished almonds and fresh produce — becomes more expensive. As Papagni noted, freight touches every step of the agricultural supply chain. Workforce retention remains steady for Wildwood Express, but compliance enforcement and licensing scrutiny create additional hurdles. Meanwhile, deteriorating highway conditions, especially along Highway 99, accelerate wear and tear on already expensive equipment. The takeaway from the conversation was clear: trucking is not optional infrastructure. It is the backbone of agriculture and the broader economy. Without freight, food does not move. As Woods put it, the industry must stand united and demand practical solutions before more companies disappear.

Unlock the future of farming with insights from one of America's leading agriculture champions. Aubrey Bettencourt, Chief of the NRCS, and Host Monte Bottens, talk through how innovative programs, voluntary practices, and market-driven solutions are transforming the ways farmers conserve resources, improve soil health, and remain resilient.

The November 21 edition of the AgNet News Hour closed out the week with a powerful, wide-ranging interview featuring Jason Gianelli, fourth-generation Kern County farmer and Director of Farming for Old River Farming Company and RNG Finucchi. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill called it one of the most honest and energizing conversations of the month, as Gianelli broke down everything from water policy to automation to the future of dairy support crops in California. Gianelli, whose family has farmed in Kern County for five generations, oversees roughly 30,000 acres of corn silage, wheat silage, and feed crops stretching from Bakersfield north to Kings County. He laughed as he recalled the enormous size of his family—both in acreage and height—and the agricultural heritage passed down through generations. “I don't cowboy up,” he joked. “I farmer down.” But the challenges facing today's farmers aren't funny. Gianelli described how quickly the landscape has changed, especially with towns expanding into farmland and new layers of regulation making even basic decisions more complex. “We're still here,” he said, “but California doesn't make it easy.” On water, Gianelli was blunt: farmers pay for 100 percent of their allocation but rarely receive it. Even strong districts aren't getting full deliveries, and SGMA-driven pumping limits are forcing growers to rethink cropping patterns. “You can't conserve your way out of a drought,” he said. “But you can be smart. Automation is going to help us turn valves on and off, monitor leaks, and use every drop wisely.” Gianelli believes ROI—not hype—will determine which technologies survive. Some tools pay for themselves in three years; others take ten and aren't worth it. “Everything is a tool in the toolbox,” he said. “But you still need eyes on the ground. I'll never stop checking fields with a shovel.” He also emphasized the role of dairy innovation, calling California dairies “one of the most efficient systems in the world.” From methane digesters to manure-water recycling, he praised dairies for making sure nothing goes to waste. “We'll use water three or four times before it leaves the ranch,” he said. On regulations and politics, Gianelli didn't hold back. He criticized lawmakers who pass laws without understanding agriculture and voters who read headlines instead of full articles. “If you voted yes on Prop 50, you voted against agriculture,” he said plainly. “People are removed from the farm. They don't know where their food comes from.” Still, Gianelli remains hopeful—not because the system is easy, but because farmers don't quit. “California can be great again,” he said. “Bad policy hurts everyone, but people will wake up. Farming is still the greatest job in the world.” He lit up when talking about bringing his young children into the field. “They drive tractors with me. They learn about insects, seeds, and soil. I want them to love this life the way I do.” Papagni closed the interview by calling Gianelli “one of California's strongest farm voices,” while McGill said what many listeners were thinking: “Farmers are the real environmentalists. They take care of the land like family.”

The November 13 edition of the AgNet News Hour hit home for farmers across California as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill sat down with Dusty Ference, Executive Director of the Kings County Farm Bureau, to discuss his ongoing lawsuit against the California State Water Resources Control Board. Ference and his team are challenging what they call “unfair and inconsistent enforcement” of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) — a battle that could reshape how water is managed across the state. Ference explained that the Kings County Farm Bureau filed the lawsuit last year after the Tulare Lake Subbasin was placed on probation by the State Water Board. “We're not fighting SGMA itself,” he said. “We're fighting how the board applied it — selectively, inconsistently, and without transparency.” Initially, the Bureau won a temporary restraining order and injunction preventing the state from requiring groundwater meters and pumping reports. But in October, an appellate court overturned that injunction. Ference said the setback won't stop them. “We've still got a lot of fight left in us,” he said. “We're preparing to take part of the appeal to the California Supreme Court.” The case has already had statewide impact. Ference said that because of their legal challenge, other subbasins have avoided probation or been granted “good actor” status, protecting them from costly state fees. “We're seeing positive results beyond Kings County,” he said. “This fight is for every farmer in California.” Papagni praised the move, calling Ference “a modern-day David taking on the Goliath of Sacramento.” McGill agreed, saying, “This is what we need — people standing up to these unelected boards that make rules without understanding farming.” Ference described the fight as one for fairness and common sense. “If you're going to regulate, do it evenly and transparently,” he said. “We can't comply if the rules keep changing.” He added that the state's heavy-handed approach would devastate rural economies. “They're not going to build recharge projects or incentivize groundwater storage,” he said. “They're just going to cut pumping and leave communities high and dry.” The Kings County Farm Bureau represents growers in Hanford, Lemoore, Corcoran, and Kettleman City, but Ference emphasized that the issue extends far beyond county lines. “Agriculture is a billion-dollar industry here, supporting 15% of our jobs,” he said. “If we can't keep farmers farming, this county turns into a ghost town.” He also highlighted the importance of education, partnerships, and outreach. “We've got to keep kids connected to farming — through 4-H, FFA, and farm days,” he said. “That's how we grow the next generation of ag leaders.” Papagni ended the show by applauding Ference's leadership. “Dusty's the kind of guy California needs — someone who's not afraid to fight for farmers,” he said. “Water isn't just an issue; it's survival.” Listeners interested in supporting the Kings County Farm Bureau's legal efforts can visit kcfb.org or contact their office directly.

Weddings are pricey affairs in California — and they're about to get even more expensive. According to the National Bridal Retailers Association, about 90 percent of all wedding gowns sold in the U.S. are made in China. With 145% tariffs now being imposed on all Chinese goods coming into the U.S., that could mean big price increases for California bridal shop owners and brides-to-be.
