Last week, a 9-square-mile area in the southern San Francisco Bay area was placed under quarantine after a psyllid was found in San Jose, and in mid- June, two additional portions of Kern County were added after two psyllids were found LQ%DNHUV¿HOG Under the quarantine, host nursery stock is prohibited from being shipped except for nursery stock and budwood grown in USDA-approved structures designed to keep the psyllid out. All untreated citrus fruit has to be cleaned of leaves and stems prior to moving out of the area. While the quarantines ha- ven’t prevented growers from getting their fruit harvested or moved, treating orchards has added costs for growers in a season in which crop loads and acreages have been di- minished in many areas be- cause of the drought. In February, the USDA announced in specialty-crop funding for prevention and research into huanglongbing, including more than $4.5 mil- lion to the University of Cal- ifornia-Davis and nearly $1.7 million to UC-Riverside.

Court blocks water cutbacks for some California farmers By FENIT NIRAPPIL Associated Press Courtesy of Calif. Department of Water Resources Julie Saare-Edmonds, a landscape specialist for the state Department of Water Resources, offers advice on how to water trees in a drought at a booth in the California State Fair’s farm. The fair in Sacramento runs through July 26. Water-saving tips offered at California State Fair By TIM HEARDEN Capital Press SACRAMENTO — Wa- ter-saving tips to weather the drought are key features at this year’s California State Fair, which runs through July 26. The state Department of Water Resources’ award-win- ning “Californians Don’t Waste — Save Water in Your Home” exhibit in the Coun- ties Building offers hands-on demonstrations of ways to conserve water in kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms. The agency also has an outdoor booth at the fair’s farm at which experts such as landscape specialist Julie Saare-Edmonds give tips on ODQGVFDSH LUULJDWLRQ HI¿FLHQ- cy. “We’re pleased by the turnout at the State Fair and the interest fairgoers show in our exhibits,” DWR spokes- woman Elizabeth Scott said LQDQHPDLO³:H¶UHDOVR¿QG- ing that the drought seems to be on everybody’s mind. Not only are folks interested in hearing from us about new ways to conserve, but they want to share with us what they’ve been doing at home to save water. That’s encour- aging.” The 162nd state exposition opened on a cool morning July 10 with the theme, “The Best is Back.” The Golden State’s abundance of crops and farm animals always take center stage at the fair, as its 32-year-old farm is one of the most popular destinations for attendees. The farm’s attractions in- clude a daily farmers’ market, an outdoor kitchen grill, an aquaculture exhibit, an insect pavilion and talks by the Uni- versity of California’s Master Gardeners. A local super- market chain also sponsors a “passport” program in which families can learn about crops and healthy eating while they visit the farm and eat a snack at the end. Nearby, the fair’s livestock building and adjacent shaded stalls feature some 4,500 en- tries during the course of the festival, as livestock exhibits are shown in shifts. Entrants compete in youth and open divisions. The DWR’s water-sav- ing tips come as urban areas are under a state mandate to reduce their water use by at least 25 percent from 2013 levels, with some areas facing targets of up to 36 percent. Farms statewide have had their surface water allocations drastically reduced or shut off completely. The department’s outdoor exhibit includes a low-wa- ter garden maintained with D ZDWHUHI¿FLHQW LUULJDWLRQ system. The exhibit offers drought-tolerant plant ideas and tips for conserving water with compost and mulch, ac- cording to a news release. 29-2/#4 30th Annual Capital Press Ag Weekly Publishes Friday, August 21 st , 2015 Don’t Miss The Chance to Reach 1000’s of Customers!

(AP) — A judge ruled July 10 that California regula- tors violated some farmers’ rights by telling them to stop diverting from rivers and streams, but the state says it can still punish those who il- legally take water. The ruling by Sacramento Superior Court Shelleyanne Chang blocks the state from punishing farmers who ig- nored a state notice issued earlier this year to imme- diately stop diverting wa- ter. The ruling only applies to dozens of farmers in the Central Valley and the irri- gation districts serving them. Residents, farmers and businesses across Califor- nia have endured water cut- backs because of the state’s four-year dry spell. Those cutbacks include notices by the State Water Resources Control Board that rivers and streams are running too dry to provide water entitled to them under their water rights. Thousands have received these so-called curtailment notices in the last year, but only about a third respond- ed to confirm they stopped taking water. The judge ruled that the water board’s notice improperly told dis- tricts and land owners with water rights to stop taking water without holding a hearing first. The ruling bars the state from fining people who don’t fill out paperwork re- sponding to notices, but reg- ulators can still target them for investigations of illegal water diversions. Penalties are as high as $1,000 a day and $2,500 per acre-foot of water illegally taken. Attorneys for water rights holders say the ruling throws all the state’s cut- backs into question. “The practical impli- cation is that the court has reminded the state board that water rights are a form of property rights, and they have to use a lot more care when they are trying to reg- ulate them,” said Jennifer Spaletta, an attorney for the Central Delta Water Agency which represented dozens of farmers with water rights. The State Water Re- sources Control Board says the ruling may require it to tweak its notice letters, but still allows it to punish those who illegally take wa- ter. “As it keeps getting drier as summer goes on, the no- tices have to go out to more and more people, but the judge only took umbrage with some of the language,” said David Rose, an attor- ney with the water board. 0% INTEREST FOR 36 MONTHS or 1.9% INTEREST FOR 60 MONTHS!
