Easter egg time. I put a little surprise in this metal bug (thank you for all the ♥️)...it has gears, and so do real bugs!
So planthoppers...hop on plants. To make sure both their tiny legs jump simultaneously, they have GEARS BETWEEN THEIR LEGS. 1/2 paperpile.com/shared/IkGYt4

I’ve stood near this same corner on the west side of the Gonzales river bridge everyday this week and today the Salinas river is now flowing over the road, turning the nearby ag field into a lake..

The Tisdale Weir across the Sacramento River from 108 is now running. Several Weirs and Bypasses along the river provide relief during high water levels by rerouting excess water.

We chat with grower Josh Sheppard about how harvest is coming along. Every acre of #carice harvested is jobs on the farm, with more work to be done at the dryers and mills. #sacvalley Listen here:

It’s the busiest time of the year for Central California farmers! Harvest is underway for a multitude of crops, and we are lucky enough to be in Yuba City for a day of almond harvest excitement.

Bee🐝dazzled✨ by the stealthy moves of the carpenter bee in #DeepLook’s new video.
Watch this bee build its woodsy🌳nest, steal nectar from unsuspecting blooms🌼with a quick slice🗡️ and find its "teddy bear" bee mate.

Tadpole shrimp eggs can persist for years in soil. There are almost certainly some in this soil, waiting to hatch once the field is flooded/water is added. If managing them with insecticides, especially pyrethroids, remember that repeated use of the same AI promotes resistance.
