The Migratory Bird Conservation Partnership (Audubon California, The Nature Conservancy, and Point Blue Conservation Science), in collaboration with the California Rice Commission and the Delta Conservancy, and funding from the California Dept.
We are looking for rice growers who would like to collaborate with UCCE on a drip-tape irrigated rice and tomato rotation project. The project, if funded, would start in 2025 and run for 3 years (until 2028).
As I write this in early April, the weather is shifting back and forth between being warm and cold and there is the occasional rainfall. Many of you have started or are thinking about starting ground work in preparation for planting.
