With frost in the forecast for Wed-Friday and no rain the past two months, soil moisture is key! Consider pre-irrigation with a short shot now (2-3 days ahead of frost) for warmer orchards. AVOID standing water. If you have solid set irrigation - consider active frost protection.

[SacValleyOrchards @SacOrchards]

With frost in next week's forecast, important to read up on recent a Emergency Use approved for a Bacterial Blast management material. https://t.co/1FzXbW8ZI4 @Hwy20orchardoc

Ya know that scene in Endgame when Cap is beat down, lonely & outgunned? Then all his buddies appear & let him know they've got his back? This list shows many of the buddies that had @ucanr's back on the Governor's budget. Tears of gratitude, y'all. Thank you. Now let's kick butt

[Kat Jarvis-Shean @AdvisorKat]

Shared a decade of data yesterday. @ucanr @UCDavisPlants @almonds and grower collaborators all working together informing management decisions that mean literally millions of $ of difference for local rural ag economies. I couldn’t be prouder of this collaboration. Coop Ext FTW.

[SacValleyOrchards @SacOrchards]

@AdvisorKat sharing the most recent results of the strong performance of peach-almond hybrids at our almond rootstock trial in high #boron conditions at our field day yesterday. Thanks to everyone who came out! @ucanr @almonds

[Kat Jarvis-Shean @AdvisorKat]

Thinking of planting almonds in a high boron setting? Picking the right rootstock will be key to your success. Join me July 13th to compare rootstocks with your own eyes at my Almond Boron Rootstock Trial. More info at https://t.co/7VXtgbe66E
