Mar. 15, 2023California: nuevas inundaciones provocan daños en fresas, paltas, frutos secos y otros cultivos
Ag growers and shippers in affected parts of California are taking stock following late last week and the weekend’s rains…and the ones still coming.
The Central Coast particularly has seen significant rain and cooler-than-normal temperatures over the past several weeks and another atmospheric river is forecast to bring heavy rain and wind through Wednesday. In Santa Maria and Oxnard, another one to three inches of rain is expected this week.
Kyla Oberman of California Giant Berry Farms notes that Saturday, the Pajaro River breached a levee causing flooding to the Pajaro area – including several thousand acres of ag land and the residential community of Pajaro. The following day, the Salinas River reached flood stage causing flooding to the Salinas Valley which also impacted a significant amount of agriculture. “It is too early for us to determine what impact there will be to our fields in these flooded areas. Our teams won’t be able to assess the affected strawberry ranches until the water recedes,” she says.
