A new analysis of cost studies suggests that irrigation use per acre has remained stable over the past 40 years for most perennial crops in California, including grapes, olives and almonds. Get the details at doi.org/10.3733/001c...
For California perennial crops facing climate change, water use stays stable while planting density increases | Published in California Agriculture
By Molly Sears, Karen M. Jetter & 1 more. We can gain more insight about trends in water use for perennial crops when we also consider changes over time in planting density.

Even as California almond acreage declines continue, global demand and shipments hint at optimism within the industry. www.farmprogress.com/tree-nuts/ca...
Calif. almond acreage continues to decline
Low almond returns over the past several years have turned what was once a profitable crop into an unprofitable one, forcing some growers to give up on the crop altogether.

In one year, I genetically engineered the boring Arabidopsis into a beautiful ornamental flower 🧬🌹
Here is how and why I gave this model organism a visual upgrade 🧵(1/7)

Growing Soybeans Has a Surprisingly Significant Emissions Footprint, but It’s Ripe for Reduction
Over the typical two-year rotation of corn and soybeans most Iowa farmers use, 40% of nitrous oxide emissions are in the soybean year, according to a new study by an Iowa State University research tea...
