Farmer says CA late-summer monsoon rains would threaten crops
A burst of summer rain might sound like welcome relief in the Central Valley, but for some growers it can arrive at the worst possible time.

Derric Kirschenmann, a fourth-generation farmer who helps run the farm with his family, said monsoonal weather during the summer can threaten key crops, especially grapes and almonds. ----------------------------------------- Stay up to date with our social media: BakersfieldNow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bakersfieldnow BakersfieldNow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bakersfieldnow BakersfieldNow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bakersfieldnow Subscribe to BakersfieldNow on YouTube: / @bakersfieldnow For more information, visit https://bakersfieldnow.com/ Have a news tip?
