SJC and Delta Field Crops

Growers are invited to attend a focus group meeting to discuss conservation agriculture and wildlife friendly farming in the Delta. The meeting is jointly organized by Audubon California, CA Department of Water Resources (DWR), and University of CA Cooperative Extension.

Tables 1 and 2, respectively, show the results of the 2015 San Joaquin County rice variety trial and a 5-year yield summary of very early maturing commercial varieties. The statewide trials are a cooperative effort of the California Cooperative Rice Research Foundation, Inc.

UC Cooperative Extension annually sponsors four rice grower meetings in the Sacramento Valley. This year, the meetings will be held on Tuesday, January 19th and Wednesday, January 20th. The schedule and locations are as follows: Richvale: Tuesday, Jan.

UC Cooperative Extension in San Joaquin County will host the SJC and Delta Field Crops Meeting on Friday, January 8, 2016 from 8:00am to 12:00pm. The meeting location is the Cabral Agricultural Center in Stockton (2101 E.Earhart Ave., Stockton, CA 95206).

Back in October, a Delta farmer presented me with this scenario: The California Division of Boating and Waterways would be clearing water hyacinth from some Delta waterways. They asked the grower to receive some of it onto his land.
