Because the vast majority of our production occurs under irrigated conditions, California growers in the Sacramento Valley rarely get to experience the same level of anxiety about when and how much rain will fall as those in rain-fed growing regions. One exception is the spring wheat that we grow over the winter rainy season. We’ve had such little rain this fall that sprouting a stand in a timely fashion without irrigation would have been a challenge. One wheat grower I’m working with in the S. Sacramento Valley planted in late October and is just now sprouting some wheat after the 0.3 - 0.5” that fell late last week.
