**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":["post-203631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-804","tag-ag","tag-around","tag-asking","tag-available","tag-average","tag-below","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-crop","tag-data","tag-effect","tag-essential","tag-exemptions","tag-farmers","tag-federal","tag-from","tag-improve","tag-irrigation","tag-less","tag-livestock","tag-meatingplace","tag-new","tag-remains","tag-reports","tag-rollins","tag-season","tag-secretary","tag-snowpack","tag-start","tag-strong","tag-takes","tag-tariffs","tag-usda","tag-water","tag-wet","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}]}}
