**Despite a strong start to California\u2019s wet season, the snowpack remains below average, which could mean less water available for summer irrigation. <\/p>\n
San Joaquin Valley farmer Aaron Barcellos says the uncertainty has forced him to consider not planting cotton for the first time in nearly four decades. <\/p>\n
Jay Lund, from the University of California, Davis, says there\u2019s still a chance more storms will boost snowpack to average before April, when they typically peak.<\/p>\n
**Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins is asking farmers and ranchers to help improve how federal crop and livestock data are collected, saying accurate reports are essential to fair and orderly markets. <\/p>\n
USDA reports on acreage, yields and inventories can significantly influence commodity prices, crop insurance guarantees and marketing decisions. <\/p>\n
Officials say declining survey participation, shifting planting patterns and increasingly volatile weather have made data collection more challenging. <\/p>\n
**A new 10% U.S. tariff on goods from around the world took effect last Tuesday. <\/p>\n
Meatingplace says a list of tariff exemptions includes beef, some fertilizers, and metals like steel and aluminum under Section 232 national security tariffs. <\/p>\n
The 10% tariff was announced after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump\u2019s widespread use of tariffs. <\/p>\n
Meatingplace says section 122 only allows tariffs for 150 days without congressional action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"California Snowpack Low and New 10% Tariffs From the Ag Information Network, I\u2019m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35712,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[804,27947,94372,94370,94368,4937,69305,7,9,8,62384,1279,2877,25719,94374,11159,7028,47646,94371,3666,94367,66628,94373,1282,51105,30360,94369,278,18925,36221,428,18569,18571,3429,3305,646,94366,8074],"class_list":{"0":"post-203631","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-california","8":"tag-804","9":"tag-ag","10":"tag-around","11":"tag-asking","12":"tag-available","13":"tag-average","14":"tag-below","15":"tag-california","16":"tag-california-headlines","17":"tag-california-news","18":"tag-crop","19":"tag-data","20":"tag-effect","21":"tag-essential","22":"tag-exemptions","23":"tag-farmers","24":"tag-federal","25":"tag-from","26":"tag-improve","27":"tag-irrigation","28":"tag-less","29":"tag-livestock","30":"tag-meatingplace","31":"tag-new","32":"tag-remains","33":"tag-reports","34":"tag-rollins","35":"tag-season","36":"tag-secretary","37":"tag-snowpack","38":"tag-start","39":"tag-strong","40":"tag-takes","41":"tag-tariffs","42":"tag-usda","43":"tag-water","44":"tag-wet","45":"tag-world"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
