Our latest issue is out now at https://t.co/Io0dSTNvZ5 and features the findings of a 20-year soil health study in the San Joaquin Valley. Plus, we have articles on prescribed fire in young forests, harvesting options for fava bean, and more.

Los Angeles County water distribution systems weren’t designed for a fire spreading at that high rate, Erik Porse, director of @ucanrwater tells ⁦@shelbyholliday @WSJ.

There can still be health hazards after a wildfire ends.

✅ If you evacuated, don’t return home until authorities say it’s safe.
✅ Be careful around damaged buildings and structures.
✅ Take steps to protect yourself against ash when you clean up.

.@ucla's @gregspierce told @cgrey307 @Marketplace that water systems are designed for run-of-the-mill small house fires, without capacity for a wildfire. Some LA hydrants ran dry but once the fire sparked, it would be devastating no matter what #UCLALuskin https://t.co/Fg6BaIZ4vL

LA Fires Renew Debate Over Prescribed Burns and Fire Preparedness in CA

@DanielleVenton: Living in communities prepared for fire. How to prepare isn’t a mystery. It just takes convincing residents to get their communities involved.

The UC ANR Fire Network has compiled an evacuation checklist of essential items. Before a wildfire - or any other natural disaster- prepare an evacuation bag for every person in your household and keep it easily accessible.

A new analysis of cost studies suggests that irrigation use per acre has remained stable over the past 40 years for most perennial crops -- including almonds, apples, avocados, citrus, and grapes -- in California. https://t.co/7MRi8zFzsu Photo: iStock

Results from a recent study suggest that adding monensin in a mineral mix can increase weight gain in stocker steers. However, maximum doses reduce palatability of the mix and may result in mineral deficiencies. https://t.co/AyKk7NgWUb

The latest issue of the @Cal_Ag Journal is out.
New research shows that prescribed burns in young forests can mitigate wildfires’ impacts, and pre-fire treatments as part of a pyro silviculture regime can facilitate prescribed burning in young stands.
