Future Placer County Farm Bureau board members-in-training...giving a little love to our beloved Placer County farmers at the Auburn Saturday market. Next week we will be hitting the Fountains and Auburn Faith markets.

For us, the 2026 summer of love is about fresh local fruit!

Today’s favorites were the mini apricots from Brenner’s ranch, close second were plums from Natural trading company and the nectarine from Twin peaks for third place! The girls decided that they love nectarines more than peaches…this week.

“The numbers are now on paper. The true test is whether policymakers have the courage to act on them.”🍇

California Farm Bureau Board Member and Napa County winegrape grower Johnnie White recently authored an op-ed in the Press Democrat discussing the growing burden of regulatory compliance costs on California agriculture and the challenges facing family farms.

Broccoli and other brassica growers along California’s Central Coast are bracing for another devastating season of infestations of the diamondback moth, but state regulators appear in no hurry to approve a new federally registered insecticide that could alleviate the damage.

Escalating pressure from the insect has led to rising production expenses that can cost growers up to tens of thousands of dollars per acre, according to a recent industry report. The pest has developed increased resistance to the suite of chemical treatments available to growers. Help could be on the way in the form of isocycloseram, a novel, broad-spectrum insecticide.

The product was registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last fall and can be used in most states. But the treatment remains under review by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, whose spokesman, Juvenio Guerra, offered no specific timeline as to when the review will be complete.

Here is my Tuesday with Teena Post: (I forgot to hit send yesterday)

One of the things I hear most often from farmers and ranchers is, “Nobody asked us.”

Well, here’s your chance.

On June 24th, UC Cooperative Extension, the Placer Resource Conservation District, and Community Alliance with Family Farmers are bringing growers together to talk about the real challenges and opportunities facing agriculture in Placer and Nevada Counties.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a listening session.

The goal is to hear directly from the people working the land about issues like water, pests, soil health, fertilization, weather, and the programs and resources that would actually be helpful on the ground. The information gathered will help shape future research, education, funding opportunities, and support programs.

Whether you’re a Farm Bureau member or not, whether you farm 5 acres or 5,000, your perspective matters. Too often decisions are made by people who aren’t the ones living with the consequences. This is an opportunity to make sure local agriculture has a voice in the conversation.

I strongly encourage anyone involved in agriculture to attend, bring a neighbor, and be part of helping shape the future of farming and ranching in our region.

If we don’t tell our story and identify our needs, someone else will do it for us.

Please RSVP by June 22 and join the conversation.
