5 things you need to know about drought aid in California

I m not interested. The USDA’s designations hinge on that map. Counties can be considered drought disaster areas if any part enters the driest red and brown “extreme” and “exceptional” categories during the growing season, or if they move into the orange “severe drought” category and stay there for eight consecutive weeks. These categories are based on various measurements, not just precipitation and snowpack. They include vegetation health, soil moisture, surface water and other criteria. The map authors also work with local experts to gauge on-the-ground conditions. “The disaster declaration process is almost as close to automatic as it can get” because it’s based on the drought map, said Jacque Johnson, acting state executive director of the USDA Farm Service Agency’s state office. “What happened in California on March 5 was 50 of our 58 counties were disasters.”

Preserving Family Farms Act could keep rich ranch land within families

A new California bill, if passed, could help Central Coast families retain family-owned farms and ranch land as they are passed down from generation to generation. This week, Congressman Jimmy Panetta introduced the Preserving Family Farms Act which aims to help family-owned farms continue operations by updating the special use valuation provision of the estate tax. Joined by Jackie Walorski (R-IN-02), Panetta s act would increase the amount of farmland that can be valued for family farming operations and decrease the amount of farmland that must be valued for development purposes when someone inherits the property. “Estate taxes on family-owned farms have forced families to split up the land they have spent generations building,” Panetta said in a press release. “Our Preserving Family Farms Act would ease this burden by ensuring that these farms are appraised by the value of their business, rather than development value.
