he 2015 Santa Cruz County Crop Report noted that the total value of crop production in the county weighed in at more than $625 million. While strawberries and raspberries are the top two crops, the county also has thousands upon thousands of acres of other crops, such as lettuce, brussels sprouts, apples and more. In Monterey County, the numbers are even more staggering: Crop production is valued at $4.84 billion, according to the 2015 Monterey County Crop Report. Farther south, crop values in San Luis Obispo County were estimated at nearly $830 million in 2015. With all this bounty surrounding us, we felt it was time to give agriculture a larger place in the RegisterPajaronian. Beginning in April, our annual Focus on Agriculture section will merge with the monthly Land publication to create a more comprehensive and focused look at agriculture across California’s Central Coast. Stretching from Santa Cruz County, to the Salinas Valley

STATE

Caballero celebrates National Agriculture Day CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE

SACRAMENTO — Assemblywoman Anna Caballero (D-Salinas) celebrated Ag Day at the State Capitol on March 22 by encouraging Californians to choose California grown produce. “We are a state which grows more than 400 different agricultural products and we employ more than 465,000 workers,” she said. “I am extremely proud, and I know my district and all of California is proud, to be rich in agriculture.” In 2015 alone, agricultural products in California were valued at more than $47 billion. California is currently the nation’s largest agricultural producer. “We need to support our local farmers, ranchers, and employers: they all depend on their fellow Californians to support them,” Caballero said. Legislators honored sponsors of Ag Day including: California Women for Agriculture, California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture. Participating in the event were farmers, ranchers, rodeo enthusiasts and commodity groups. The main focus of the event was to encourage education and agricultural literacy while celebrating the event’s theme CA Grown: Ag Proud. Visitors enjoyed interacting with farm animals, sampling locally grown treats, and interacting with agricultural business owners. Celebration of Agriculture Day hit the ground running

early during the week of March 20. On Monday, Caballero designated Wednesday, March 22 as California Agriculture Day. Local growers and organizations supporting agriculture could be seen making their rounds throughout the Capitol and meeting with legislators to highlight and support the importance of Ag Day. In the 30th assembly district alone, the Salinas Valley is known as the Salad Bowl of the World (producing 80 percent of the nation’s lettuce), Gilroy is hailed as the Garlic Capitol of the World, Morgan Hill is a premium wine producer, and Watsonville is celebrated for its large production of berries. In San Benito County, distinct wines made from grapes grown in the valley, while Hollister produces many foods such as apples, apricots, grass fed beef, olive oil, and walnuts, to name a few. As the Chair of the Assembly Agriculture Committee, Caballero encourages the state to choose California, and hopes to continue working with her colleagues in the legislature to address the challenges that the state’s farmers, growers, producers, and workers continue to face. Caballero has introduced AB 822, which creates a purchasing preference for state-owned and state-run institutions to buy California grown agricultural products. On March 22, the bill passed out of the Assembly Committee on Accountability and Administrative Review and has been referred to the Assembly Committee on Agriculture.

HORTICULTURE

Spring blossoms precede summer fruit By TONY TOMEO CONTRIBUTED TO THE R-P

herry blossoms are such an excellent tradition in Washington D.C., as well as in Japanese neighborhoods of the West Coast. “Kwanzan” and “Akebono” flowering cherries in Japantown of San Jose are glorious when they bloom early in spring. They are less common but just as spectacular in Los Angeles. More varieties grow in the cooler climates of Sacramento, Portland and Seattle. Yet, after all the work the trees put into bloom, they produce no fruit. These prettiest of the cherry blossoms are sterile. They are known as “flowering” cherries, which is a polite way of saying that they are “fruitless.” Cherry trees that produce fruit are very similar and bloom about as profusely, but do so with somewhat more subdued utilitarian flowers. After all, they have to work for a living. Many of the deciduous fruit trees have “flowering” counterparts that are grown for their showy flowers. Purple leaf plums, which are really flowering plums that happen to have purplish or bronze foliage, are the most popular because the foliage is so colorful after bloom. Flowering nectarines and flowering peaches are rare, but not as rare as flowering apricots and flowering almonds are. Flowering crabapples are the counterparts to the entire fruiting apple group. They are not really sterile, so produce tiny fruits that mostly get eaten by birds. Flowering pears, which are commonly known as “ornamental” pears, are grown more for their impressive autumn foliar color than for their potentially modest bloom. They also produce tiny fruits. The evergreen pear lacks autumn color. Flowering quince is an odd one. It is not even the same genus as fruiting quince.

Fruit trees bloom too. They may not be as colorful, but their simpler and paler blossoms are about as profuse as those of their flowering counterparts. Their stems are usually straighter and more vigorous because they are pruned for fruit production instead of allowed to develop naturally. A few stems can be left unpruned to be cut and brought in as cut flowers when they eventually bloom. Whether flowering or fruiting, almonds and plums should bloom before pears and apples. There is no guarantee though. Weather can delay early bloomers, or accelerate late bloomers. Earlier frost promoted healthy bloom, but the subsequent abundance of rain is unfortunately ruining flowers that are blooming now. For fruiting trees, this means that much or all of the fruit will be ruined. Highlight: purple leaf plum Of all the fruitless fruit trees, the purple leaf plum is the most popular here, but probably not for the obvious allure of its rich purplish or bronze foliage that maintains color until it falls in autumn. Purple leaf plum is simply so easy to grow. It does not need to be pruned as regularly as flowering peaches or flowering crabapples do. It is not as sensitive to sunscald as flowering cherries are. Most purple leaf plums bloom with double or single pink flowers. Old varieties that bloom white are uncommon. Mature trees might get taller than a two story house, with nicely rounded canopies. Trees are usually pruned up onto single straight trunks, although mature trees in older landscapes might have a few sculptural trunks. Purple leaf plums want full sun and occasional watering. ••• Horticulturist Tony Tomeo can be contacted at lghorticulture@aol.com.

NATION

USDA reminds farmers about disaster assistance programs CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is reminding farmers and ranchers, families and small businesses that could potentially be affected by the recent storms that USDA has several programs that provide assistance before, during and after disasters. The Presidential Disaster Declarations in California, Nevada and Oregon are for severe winter storms, flooding and mudslides for incident period Jan. 3-12, 2017, and the Hoopa Valley Reservation Declaration is for severe winter storms only for the incident period Jan. 3-5, 2017. The application deadlines for all of these declarations is Oct. 16, 2017. USDA encourages residents and small businesses in the potential impact zones to contact the following offices to meet their individual needs: ••• Property and Shelter When floods destroy or severely damage residential property, USDA Rural Development can assist with providing priority hardship application processing for single family housing. Under a disaster designation, USDA Rural Development can issue a priority letter for next available multi-family housing units. While these programs do not normally have disaster assistance authority, many of USDA Rural Development programs can help provide financial relief to small businesses hit by natural disasters, including low-interest loans to community facilities, water environmental programs, businesses and cooperatives and to rural utilities. ••• Food Safety and Food Assistance Severe weather forecasts often present the possibility of power outages that could compromise the safety of stored

food. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) recommends that consumers take the necessary steps before, during, and after a power outage to reduce food waste and minimize the risk of foodborne illness. FSIS offers tips for keeping frozen and refrigerated food safe and a brochure that can be downloaded and printed for reference at home. If you have questions about the safety of food in your home, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-6746854) on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET or visit AskKaren. gov to chat live with a food safety specialist, available in English and Spanish. Owners of meat and poultry producing businesses who have questions or concerns may contact the FSIS Small Plant Help Desk by phone at 1-877-FSISHELP (1-877-374-7435), by email at infosource@fsis.usda.gov, or 24/7 online at www.fsis. usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/ regulatory-compliance/svsp/ sphelpdesk. The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) coordinates with state, local and voluntary organizations to provide food for shelters and other mass feeding sites. Under certain circumstances, states also may request to operate a disaster household distribution program to distribute USDA Foods directly to households in need. In addition, FNS may approve a state’s request to implement a Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) when the President declares a major disaster for individual assistance under the Stafford Act in areas affected by a disaster. State agencies may also request a number of disaster-related SNAP waivers to help provide temporary assistance to impacted households already receiving SNAP benefits

at the time of the disaster. ••• Crop and Livestock Loss The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) administers many safety-net programs to help producers recover from eligible losses, including the Livestock Indemnity Program, the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program, Emergency Forest Restoration Program (EFRP) and the Tree Assistance Program. The FSA Emergency Conservation Program provides funding and technical assistance for farmers and ranchers to rehabilitate farmland damaged by natural disasters. Producers located in counties that received a primary or contiguous disaster designation are eligible for lowinterest emergency loans to help them recover from production and physical losses. Compensation also is available to producers who purchased coverage through the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program, which protects non-insurable crops against natural disasters that result in lower yields, crop losses or prevented planting. USDA encourages farmers and ranchers to contact their local FSA office to learn what documents can help the local office expedite assistance, such as farm records, receipts and pictures of damages or losses. Producers should use form FSA-576, Notice of Loss, to report prevented planting and failed acres in order to establish or retain FSA program eligibility. Prevented planting acreage must be reported no later than 15 calendar days after the final planting date as established by FSA and USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA). Producers must file a Notice of Loss for failed acres on all crops including grasses in a timely fashion, often within 15 days of the occurrence or when the losses

Producers of hand-harvested crops must notify FSA of damage or loss within 72 hours of when the date of damage or loss first becomes apparent. Producers with coverage through the RMA administered federal crop insurance program should contact their crop insurance agent. Those who purchased crop insurance will be paid for covered losses. Producers should report crop damage within 72 hours of damage discovery and follow up in writing within 15 days. ••• Community Recovery Resources For declared natural disasters that lead to imminent threats to life and property, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) can assist local government sponsors with the cost of implementing recovery efforts like debris removal and streambank

stabilization to address natural resource concerns and hazards through the Emergency Watershed Protection Program. NRCS staff is coordinating with state partners to complete damage assessments in preparation for sponsor assistance requests. NRCS also can help producers with damaged agricultural lands caused by natural disasters such as floods. The NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) provides financial assistance to repair and prevent excessive soil erosion that can result from high rainfall events and flooding. Conservation practices supported through EQIP protect the land and aid in recovery, can build the natural resource base, and might help mitigate loss in future events. USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture provides support for disaster education through the Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN).

EDEN is a collaborative multistate effort with land-grant universities and Cooperative Extension Services across the country, using research-based education and resources to improve the delivery of services to citizens affected by disasters. EDEN’s goal is to improve the nation’s ability to mitigate, prepare for, prevent, respond to and recover from disasters. EDEN equips county-based Extension educators to share research-based resources in local disaster management and recovery efforts. The EDEN website offers a searchable database of Extension professionals, resources, member universities and disaster agency websites, education materials to help people deal with a wide range of hazards, and food and agricultural defense educational resources.
