California Cherry Outlook Good and Farmers Buying More Land
Wednesday Apr 21st, 2021 From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update. With California farmers and ranchers finding increasing difficulty in purchasing wildfire insurance, the state insurance commissioner directed insurance companies last week to provide data about the availability of commercial coverage for businesses including farms and ranches.
The California Farm Bureau welcomed the action, saying it hoped the request from Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara will lead to more sustainable coverage. Shippers say California cherry crop prospects are bright for 2021 with no gap expected between California and Northwest crops at the end of the deal.
