This week on the pod, I discuss @AdvisorKat's research on the effect climate change may have on walnuts. She shares her cool experimental setup to reduce chill accumulation in walnuts planted *in the ground* and some preliminary results: @MillironLuke

With frost in the forecast for Wed-Friday and no rain the past two months, soil moisture is key! Consider pre-irrigation with a short shot now (2-3 days ahead of frost) for warmer orchards. AVOID standing water. If you have solid set irrigation - consider active frost protection.

Ya know that scene in Endgame when Cap is beat down, lonely & outgunned? Then all his buddies appear & let him know they've got his back? This list shows many of the buddies that had @ucanr's back on the Governor's budget. Tears of gratitude, y'all. Thank you. Now let's kick butt
Shared a decade of data yesterday. @ucanr @UCDavisPlants @almonds and grower collaborators all working together informing management decisions that mean literally millions of $ of difference for local rural ag economies. I couldn’t be prouder of this collaboration. Coop Ext FTW.
@AdvisorKat sharing the most recent results of the strong performance of peach-almond hybrids at our almond rootstock trial in high #boron conditions at our field day yesterday. Thanks to everyone who came out! @ucanr @almonds

Considering cover crops in your almond orchard? Check out the new Cover Crop BMP guide @almonds, @ucdavis and @ucanr developed to help you through the process. almonds.com/sites/default/fi…
Great work by @vmwauters compiling years of research by the @amelie_gaudin lab and decades of experience from practitioners and soil health advisors from NRCS, RCDs, @famfarms and many others.
Thanks @almonds for your support getting info out on this @ucanr research trial! Can’t wait to see the final product.
