SJC and Delta Field Crops

In 2022, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy, in partnership with the Department of Water Resources and the Office of the Delta Watermaster, launched the Delta Drought Response Pilot Program (DDRPP).

The UC Alfalfa and Forage Field Day will take place on Thursday, September 29, 2022. The field day will take place at the Kearney Research and Extension Center, 9240 S. Riverbend Ave., Parlier, CA 93648.

Since Fall 2020, I have been evaluating the effects of applying green waste compost on established alfalfa. The three-year project includes two trials one in the San Joaquin County Delta and the other in Yolo County and is a collaboration with Rachael Long (UCCE) and Radomir Schmidt (UC Davis).

UC Davis and UC Cooperative Extension will host the UC Dry Bean Field Day on Thursday, September 1, 2022 from 9:00am to 11:00am. The field day will begin at the Campbell Tract on the UC Davis campus, which is a different location from where it has been in recent years.

UC Cooperative Extension and UC Davis will host a Healthy Soils Program field meeting on compost. The meeting will take place on Thursday, July 28th from 10:00am to 11:30am. The meeting will take place off of S. Landi Road, on Roberts Island in the Delta.
