Cannon Michael @agleader: “Durable solutions are the ones that include multiple stakeholders. We’ve got a state that’s worth fighting for. This too shall pass: let’s take the high road and take care of the state we love.” #cawater

Cannon Michael @agleader advises the next CA governor: "Get educated. Make water a priority. The knowledge gap is big. We need an educational onboarding for these folks before they can even articulate policy." #cawater

"We are facing real shifts in climate that are showing us that we’ve got to learn how to adapt. If and when there is excess water available, we want to be able to store it and hold on to it, and use it wisely." @agleader latimes.com/environment/stor…

I decided to plot the historic July temperatures here at @BowlesFarming. They are pretty alarming and impact crop production throughout California. Diverse rotation, compost production, and investment in drip irrigation help, but only to a point. #food #ag #climate #hot #july

We are blessed to have many bird species on the #farm for a number of reasons. #gopher control is one of them! We don’t use poison to control gophers but trap them. The birds help us with our efforts to control pests. youtu.be/j5RRzg_kSA4?si=XqAv… @audubonsociety @AudubonCA

Out checking some of our "newborns" on the #farm. Spring is a time of renewal and a lot of activity. #carrots, #garlic & #onions have been in the ground for months but #tomatoes, #cotton and #watermelons are just getting started. Transforming #cawater into healthy #local #food
