Winter officially blew in over the weekend, bringing rainy
weather upon the San Joaquin Valley.
For many farmers and others in the ag business, ’tis the
season to take some time off after a long year in the field. Central Valley
Farm Scout, too, will be taking a brief holiday hiatus.
When we return next year (well in January) be prepared for
some new features to go along with our old standby views from the field and
guest commentary from our experts from the University of California Cooperative
Extension and UC Integrated Pest Management program. We’ll be here to give more
tips to farmers, consumers and anyone else interested in sustainable
agriculture, food and fiber. Stay tuned.
So on this day before Christmas, when all through the barn
not a creature is stirring, not even the dog we hang our sweep net by the
chimney with care in hopes that our farm advisor will soon be there.
The PCAs are nestled all snug in their white pick-ups while
visions of lygus danced in their heads.
And the farmer in his floppy sun hat
and I in my John Deere cap, have settled our brains for a long winter’s
retreat.
Happy Holidays!
