Press release
From Western Farm Press - Thursday, April 11, 2013
Coalition response...There has been a long relationship between farmers and university
officials and other agencies to improve the production of food and fiber crops
on California farms. This story illustrates the benefits of improved soil
conditions resulting from water management practices at the farm level.
A similar illustration is further
to the north to the 100,000 acres in the Grasslands Drainage Area south of Los
Banos. Farmers have worked with local water districts, some environmental
groups, and state and federal agencies to resolve the runoff of certain
minerals in drainage water from the fields to the San Joaquin River. From 1995
to 2010, the drainage of selenium from the Grasslands farms was decreased by
87% and the reduced amounts for salt and boon were 72% and 64% respectively.
Farmers throughout California are
committed to protecting their soils as they strive to provide a safe and
affordable food supply to consumers.
