2015 COLUSA FARM SHOW
1
elcome to the Granddaddy of West Coast Farm Shows, celebrating its 50th year in 2015. The Sacramento Valley Orchard Machinery Fair was established in 1966 with the full support of the Colusa County Fair. Little did the original committee know that the need for a place for farmers and ranchers to get together and view state-of-the-art equipment, in one location, would germinate into the show it is today, We are excited to have more than 300 exhibitors offering new and used equipment and services, and educational seminars this year, all geared to the agriculture community. It’s an opportunity for agriculturists not only to compare and purchase the latest in field equipment, but to learn about new regulations, risk management and water, fertilizer, or pesticide management. Enjoy the show and take the time catch up with friends and neighbors you may only see once or twice a year.

2015 COLUSA FARM SHOW
Originating in 1966, the Colusa Farm Show was originally touted as the Sacramento Valley Orchard Machinery Fair and as the oldest show on the west coast, it is often referred to as “The Granddaddy of Farm Shows”. The Colusa Farm Show has now evolved into an exhibition showcasing products and services for all aspects of agriculture. There was a growing demand for an organization to take on the task of bringing machinery and orchard equipment for Valley growers to be able to see and compare in one place. The one-time only event has turned into a much-anticipated annual exhibition, attended by agriculturists from across the Western U.S.
A number of exhibitors have been present at all 50 of the shows, including:
• Fanno Saw Works • Fowler Nurseries Inc. • Colusa Farm Credit • Sweco Corporation • Herbst Mfg. Inc. • Stokes Ladders

Jonathan Howard Takes the Reins at Colusa County Fair COLUSA,CA. Colusa County native Jonathan Howard has come on board to take the CEO position at the Colusa County Fair in Colusa. Howard, who was most recently employed by the Colusa Casino & Resort, will take the reins from outgoing interim CEO Susan Clark. Tony Garofalo, President of the Colusa County Fair Board of Directors said “Jonathan is a highly qualified person and he has a wealth of experience that will benefit the Colusa County Fair. We are excited to have him as our new CEO.” Jonathan is no stranger to the Colusa County Fair. For four years after high school he worked on the maintenance crew during Fair season and with plenty of management experience in between he is excited to return as the new CEO.
“I am looking forward to this new adventure,” he said, “ working with the community to continue the tradition of this great County Fair and Fairgrounds. I am especially interested in furthering the work of the Foundation and building support for the Fair and the Farm Show. Like everyone in the County, I have been coming to the Colusa County Fair since I was born and the feeling of nostalgia when I walk through the gate is overwhelming.” Howard brings a background in sales, management and promotions during his years at the Colusa Casino & Resort, Sleep Train’s power store in San Diego and at the Regent Communications Radio group in Chico.

The History of the Agriculture Plane Reprinted from the Covington Aircraft blog December 13, 2011 (blog.covingtonaircraft.com)
Most commonly known as crop dusters, agriculture planes also perform many other functions to assist farmers. Although most crop dusters are used to spray crops with pesticide, some agriculture planes are used for seeding fields and fertilizing crops as well. Flying an agricultural plane takes special skills, as these planes usually fly at lower altitudes and must be maneuvered around obstacles as they attempt to keep seeds and chemicals contained to the fields and not on nearby homes or roadways. First Agriculture Planes The first agriculture plane was not actually a plane at all, but a hot air balloon with mobile tethers. John Chayton used the device to spread seed over a valley floor in New Zealand that had been swamped in 1906. In 1921, the U.S. Agriculture Department and the Army Signal Corps joined forces to develop modern crop dusting. On August 3 of that year, John A Macready piloted a modified Curtiss JN4 Jenny to spread lead arsenate to eliminate catalpa sphinx caterpillars near Troy, Ohio. The first commercial crop-dusting planes were owned by Daland Crop Dusting, which was co-founded by Lt. Harold R. Harris, a test pilot who flew alongside Macready. Crop Dusters Originally, agriculture planes used dry chemicals in order to treat crops, which is how they earned the name “crop dusters.” Today, the planes use liquid products in order to fertilize or treat fields for pests. It is estimated that agriculture planes provide up to 25% of the crop production products used in farming. Because they cover a larger area in a shorter time, crop dusters are the preferred method for farmers who manage large fields. Because some pests and diseases can cause significant damage in a short period, farmers rely on agriculture planes to control such problems. Controversy In the 1970s, environmental concerns were raised regarding the use of agriculture planes to spread pesticides, which led to more stringent regulations regarding the chemicals that could be used via aerial application. Agriculture planes and techniques used by pilots have been improved significantly over the past few decades and present day aerial application are considered to be very safe for both people and the environment. Agriculture planes are a vital part of the farming industry as they control pests, increase crop production and sometimes provide irrigation to areas where rainfall has been less than normal.

10 Things You Should Know Before Becoming a Crop Dusting Pilot When most people think of crop dusting, they picture a grizzled old man in an ancient biplane, flying low over a field in Illinois. He appears suddenly on the horizon and disappears almost before you have the chance to register him. Today’s crop dusting business is completely different, with million-dollar turbine-engine planes, intricate GPS systems for planning the row flights and triggering the sprayers, and well-trained, experienced pilots. 1. It’s not called “crop dusting” anymore – “ag pilots” perform “aerial applications”. 2. The first aerial application wasn’t from a plane, it was from a hot air balloon in 1906 in New Zealand. 3. You will need a great deal of aviation training, a private pilot license, a commercial rating, a tail-wheel airplane endorsement and specific agricultural aviation training. 4. Ag pilots are trained in all aspects of aerial application, safe pesticide use and entomology to minimize risk to the environment. 5. Planes are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment such as GPS swath guidance, aerial imaging, prescription mapping and dispersal systems. 6. The aircrafts aren’t just used for pesticides, they are used for planting and as water bombers in wildfires. 7. Flying is technically challenging and occasionally hazardous. 8. You probably won’t start out as a pilot right away – you may start mixing chemicals or serving as loaders and mechanics. 9. Ag pilots are in high demand, in sharp contrast to the majority of other aviation fields. 10. Organizations like the National Agricultural Aviation Association (NAAA) are working to change the stereotype of the cavalier ag pilot by promoting education, training, and safety.

2015 COLUSA FARM SHOW
Hoping for a Wet Year!
By Jeffrey P. Sutton General Manager Tehama-Colusa Canal Authority
If it is raining during this year’s Colusa Orchard Fair, I greatly encourage folks to welcome the much needed precipitation, rather than cursing the soggy conditions. After three straight years of extreme drought conditions, California agriculture needs every drop it can get! 2014 will likely go down as the most challenging year in the history of California water management, supplanting references to the previous drought of record of 1977. For the first time in history of the Central Valley Project (CVP), an announcement of a zero allocation was made for CVP agricultural water service contractors, resulting in no water deliveries to over 2 million acres of highly productive farmland throughout the Central Valley. By contrast, in 1977, CVP contractors still received a 25% allocation. This year’s zero allocation resulted in the fallowing of an estimated half million acres of farmland statewide, including 70,000 acres in the Tehama-Colusa Canal Authority’s 150,000 acre service area along the westside of the Sacramento Valley. Early in 2014, prior to a few storms hitting the North State in February and March, it was feared that even senior water rights holders may be facing a complete curtailment of water deliveries due to concerns for “public health and safety.” The senior water right holders in the North State, the Sacramento River Settlement Contractors, initially were notified of an allocation of 40%. However, after significant deliberation and coordination, along with some improved hydrology, they eventually did receive an increase to their contractual floor of 75% allocations, although it did require delayed water deliveries. Ultimately, utilizing an assortment of tools, including water transfers, conservation efforts, and increased reliance on groundwater resources, we were able to make it through this challenging year, but not unscathed. It is estimated that the 2014 drought resulted in over a $2 billion impact to California agriculture statewide. Moreover, these persistent drought conditions have greatly impacted our groundwater aquifer levels and left our reservoir storage going into 2015 at historically low levels. Shasta Reservoir, the largest reservoir in the state and the centerpiece of the CVP, with a capacity of 4.5 million acre feet, was down to 1.05 million acre feet at the end of the 2014 irrigation season, its lowest level since 1977. To put this in context, during times of water abundance, Shasta typically never goes much below 3 million acre feet. Likewise, other major reservoir facilities throughout the state are also experiencing historic low conditions, including Folsom, Trinity, Oroville, and San Luis Reservoir. Luckily, we have seen a change in the weather patterns this fall and winter. October and November brought some moderate precipitation. The month of December saw over twenty four inches of rain in the Shasta watershed, resulting in reservoir levels increasing by more than
800,000 acre feet. In the 2014 water year, from Oct. 1 2013 to Sept. 30 2014, the Shasta watershed received just over 33 inches of precipitation. From just October 1st to January 1st, we have already exceeded that amount for this water year, and still have the potential for much more improvement during the months of January, February, March, and April. While water managers throughout the state are hoping for a continuation of these vastly improved hydrologic conditions, we acknowledge there is a long way to go before we can claim that the drought is over. Groundwater recovery and refilling of our reservoirs will not happen overnight. For the Sacramento River Settlement Contractors to receive a full allocation in 2015, it will require a projection of 4 million acre feet of inflow into Shasta due to the last several years of dry conditions (typically the threshold is only 3.2 million acre feet of inflow). For CVP water contractors in the north, Shasta Reservoir must continue to fill substantially prior to any allocation made. For CVP contractors south of the Delta, they have the additional challenge of overcoming regulatory concerns that limits the amount of water that can delivered to contractors in the San Joaquin Valley. As such, while we continue to hope for the best, water managers throughout the state are also feverishly working on planning documents to facilitate stretching water supplies, pursuing water transfers, and preparing for shortages in 2015. What is most frustrating is that our historical water infrastructure investments, that were designed to be our bank accounts during these anticipated dry spells, are no longer operated in the manner originally conceived. Environmental regulatory actions (the Central Valley Project Improvement Act, the Endangered Species Act, and Bay Delta Water Quality decisions having the biggest impacts) have taken much of the flexibility out of our water supply system, in essence shrinking our ability to manage these reservoirs for multiple years of use. Where full reservoirs once meant water supply certainty for the next three plus years, we now find ourselves managing a system that is more often a year to year challenge. Despite the reduced utility of our existing reservoirs, and a dramatic population increase that has more than doubled the number of residents in the state over the last fifty years, California has failed to invest in desperately needed new water storage facilities. As a result, we have an overburdened supply during a period of growing demand, creating a constant state of crisis management. As a state that boasts the seventh-largest economy in the world, we can, and must, do better.
However, on the issue of investment in statewide water infrastructure, there was some very welcome news in 2014. Governor Brown, the California State Legislature, and voters statewide overwhelming approved a $7.5 billion Water Bond, entitled The Water Quality Supply and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014. The Water Bond includes funding for regional water supply reliability, State flood management, groundwater sustainability, safe drinking water, water recycling, watershed management, and ecosystem restoration. Also for the first time in decades, this Water Bond includes a continuous appropriation for $2.7 Billion for desperately needed new water storage. Right here, in Colusa County, exists a great opportunity to make real progress towards meeting the current and future water demands for the State of California by providing new surface water storage. The proposed Sites Reservoir is one of the CalFed surface storage projects that is nearing the completion of its study phase. It is anticipated that the environmental document should be available for public review in 2015. Sites would likely be a 1.8 million acre foot reservoir, with an estimated annual yield of approximately five hundred thousand acre feet. By integrating Sites Reservoir into the operations of the CVP and the State Water Project, it would also greatly enhance the utility and carryover storage for the other existing reservoirs throughout our statewide water system. Its benefits would include water quality, ecosystem restoration, cold water pool fishery benefits, emergency supplies for the Delta, flood control, recreational benefits, and most importantly, a greatly enhanced water supply. A proactive group made up of local water districts and governments formed the Sites Joint Powers Authority in 2010 for the very purpose of pursuing the completion of Sites Reservoir in a manner that benefits our region. The Sites JPA is working in partnership on this project with the California Department of Water Resources and the US Bureau of Reclamation. The members of the Sites JPA include Colusa County, Glenn County, Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District, Maxwell Irrigation District, Reclamation District 108, Tehama-Colusa Canal Authority, and Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. The JPA is working to secure funding from the Water Bond for the significant public benefits that would accrue as result of this project. If successful, construction of this important infrastructure could begin in a few years. Once completed, it would greatly improve the operation of the statewide water system, to the benefit of all of California: our farms, our communities, the Delta, and the environment. 2015 COLUSA FARM SHOW

Meet Assemblyman James Gallagher What motivated you to become active in public service?
My family instilled in me at an early age that the good things in our community are not free – they are brought about by sacrifice, service, and hard work. My wife Janna and I have three children. I’ve always wanted the next generation of Gallaghers, as well as families across this state, to have the same great opportunities that I had growing up: the freedom to work and produce something of value, to have access to quality education and job opportunities, and to raise our families free from government interference and morally-bankrupt agendas. Preserving our values so that this state can again become a land of opportunity is what motivates me to serve as your representative in Sacramento. What can you tell readers about the 3rd Assembly District?
I am honored to represent the great Sacramento Valley and one of the largest districts in the State, including the counties of Colusa, Butte, Glenn, Tehama, Sutter, and Yuba. The 3rd District is home to the
mighty rivers that supply our water, bountiful farmland that feeds the world, majestic forests and grasslands, close-knit communities, and most of all, an industrious and determined people. It’s the best district in the State. Since taking office in December, what have you been working on? The first couple weeks of December I was focused on setting up my Capitol and District Offices. I wanted to make sure that we have a strong infrastructure and a team that understands the District and shares my passion for serving the public. I spent some time getting to know my colleagues in the Legislature and building relationships with stakeholders and organizations from my district. I’ve also been reviewing and
discussing potential bill ideas and policy goals so we can hit the ground running on furthering the values and priorities of the North State. What can be done to improve California’s economy and reduce unemployment?
We have to rein in the outof-control regulation that is stifling job growth. Legislators working in the State Capitol are elected representatives who are held accountable by the voters of California – we have been entrusted with the responsibility of governing and creating laws. Unfortunately, lawmakers have approved measures like AB 32, which empower unaccountable government agencies to create and enforce a variety of job-killing regulations. This has resulted in California becoming one of the worst states in which to do business in the entire nation. Businesses large and small continue to leave California and head to states with friendlier business climates. We need to reduce the regulatory burden and enact business-friendly incentives that will bring employers to California and to the North State. I am committed to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to do just that. What other issues will you be tackling during your term in office?
In addition to fighting for jobs, we need to protect and enhance our tremendous resources. Protecting our North State water rights and increasing water storage and flood protection is crucial to our local economy. Our forefathers had the great foresight to develop and harness our natural resources. They built the vital waterworks projects that provide water delivery systems to our farms and cities. They reclaimed farmland from the swamp by building our levee system to keep back the floodwaters. These essential infrastructure systems are in dire need of upgrade and repair. We need to ensure that local levee projects are brought to completion. The 2014 water bond (Proposition 1) set aside
$2.7 billion for above-ground storage, and it is crucial that we make sure these funds are managed responsibly. I will continue to be a vocal advocate for the construction of Sites Reservoir and look forward to seeing this project through to completion.
Is there anything else you’d like your constituents to know about you?
I think it’s important for readers to know that my staff and I are here to serve and we want to hear from you. If you’re dealing with a non-responsive state agency, if government regulators are intruding on your business, or if you have an idea - please don’t hesitate to reach out to our office. Keep in mind that not every problem requires a new law. We can and will help constituents navigate bureaucracy and cut through government red tape. We may not be able to solve every problem or move every mountain, but please reach out and let’s at least start the conversation to see what we can do to help.
How can readers contact your office?
Please feel free to email me at Assemblymember.Gallagher@assembly.ca.gov or give our Capitol Office a call at (916) 319-2003.

Pink for a Purpose
he Colusa Farm Show is filled with impressive heavy equipment of all sizes, shapes, and models, which makes this event grand. But it is the PINK shaker that will make many people stop and look twice. Not only is this piece of machinery a bright, beautiful color, but the story behind it will warm your heart. Don Mayo, owner of Orchard Machinery Company (OMC) married his bride, Brenda, in 1975. The couple lived in Live Oak, where they welcomed a daughter, Sarah, in 1979. Three years later, Brenda discovered a lump in her breast while doing a self-examination. At the age of 32, Brenda began her battle against breast cancer. A mastectomy and chemotherapy were the steps she took to fight the cancer, but sadly, Brenda lost her battle four years later. Sarah, just six at the time of her mother’s passing, recalls her mom as being the most loving person she’s ever known. She says, “She was always involved in my elementary school. She was the room mom and was also part of the parents’ club. I was so young, but I remember her laugh so well. She had the most incredible laugh, one that would make everyone else in the room laugh along with her.” Don wanted to bring awareness to breast cancer and provide his late wife Brenda with a special tribute, so he decided to paint one of his shakers pink and dedicate it to her memory. Knowing that one of their customers had suffered a similar loss due to breast cancer, OMC approached the Henderson family. The Hendersons, owners of the Arbuckle-based harvesting operation Shock Spooner Henderson Orchard Care, also lost their aunt, Linda Meyer Henderson, to breast cancer. They were onboard and enthusiastic to help raise awareness and honor their loved one with this bright pink shaker. So, not all shakers are created equal. Some shakers are here to keep the memory of a loved one alive and to remind us all that breast cancer is something that we need to join together and fight for a cure.
*The production facility, OMC, is located in Yuba City and manufactures and
According to the Avon Foundation, 40,000 women will die from breast cancer every year. Breast cancer takes a life every 14 minutes. Another woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every 3 minutes. An estimated three million women are living with breast cancer. One million of them don’t yet know it.

California Women for Agriculture California Women for Agriculture (CWA) was formed in 1975 in the Coachella Valley. The name was chosen to develop a cross-section of members across our great state. In fact, the nucleus of the first chapter was made up of consumers as well as farmers. Today, our membership is as diverse as the industry we represent: bankers, lawyers, accountants, marketing professionals, consumers, farmers, and ranchers. We have 20 chapters and 2,000 plus members across the state. Members are actively engaged in public relations, education, and legislative advocacy on behalf of agriculture. Our mission is to promote and protect the agricultural industry, to promote and develop the interest of California women involved or interested in agriculture, and to promote a strong agriculture industry. CWA’s efforts are guided by 5 principle objectives: to speak on behalf of agriculture in an intelligent, informative, direct, and truthful manner; to keep CWA members informed on legislative activities pertaining to agriculture; to join forces when the need arises to deal with agricultural issues and challenges; to improve the public image of farmers; and to develop a rapport with consumers, educators, and governmental and business leaders in communities throughout the county and outlying areas. • CWA believes that California agriculture is the fundamental cornerstone for our country’s health and national security. Agriculture needs to be California’s number one priority. • CWA is committed to maintaining a healthy and vibrant agricultural industry for California and our nation. • CWA is dedicated to ensuring that a local, reliable, and safe food supply continues to be available for future generations.
Our Mission CWA members believe California agriculture needs to be protected for our future generations by educating consumers, policy makers, and our membership. We provide the information, skills, and network so our volunteers can make a difference at the local, state, and federal levels. Our founding principle is to ensure and maintain a “seat at the table” for all of California’s farmers and ranchers. CWA has a strong commitment to education and agricultural awareness.
What We Do We give a face to agriculture and tell our story through our community involvement. We support our local farmers and ranchers by maintaining a presence and advocating, promoting, and educating on behalf of agriculture within our community. We support the State CWA organization in its educational, promotional, and advocacy activities for agriculture at the state level. We are an affiliate of the national advocacy organization, American Agri-Women. We also award scholarships of up to $1,000 to graduating high school seniors and full time college and vocational students whose educational emphasis is related to agriculture.

California Agricultural Leadership Program The California Agricultural Leadership Program (CALP) provides an advanced leadership development experience for mid-career agriculturists who are seen as emerging leaders who will be effective advocates for issues facing agriculture, our communities, the state and nation. CALP is considered to be one of the premier leadership development programs in the United States. BECOME A STRONGER LEADER. Through dynamic monthly seminars during an extensive 16-month program, fellows will focus on leadership theory, critical and strategic thinking, effective communication, motivation, change management, complex social and cultural issues, emotional intelligence and other skills that contribute to improved performance as a leader. ENHANCE LEADERSHIP SKILLS. Fellows will gain important skills and awareness to enhance their leadership capabilities and effectiveness in a rapidly changing environment. With a strong skill set and strategic ideas, they will be better prepared to assess and deal with the complex challenges affecting their business, agricultural associations, community, family and government. LEARN FROM EXPERTS. Seminars are delivered by four exceptional partner universities – Cal Poly Pomona, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Fresno State and UC Davis – and other academic institutions. Fellows will learn from first-rate educators, subject authorities, and individuals from diverse professions and backgrounds.
