Rows and rows of walnut orchards in Vernalis are almost ready for harvest.
Genasci keeps tabs on all of the issues surrounding growers and ranchers and says this rodent infestation plaguing the Central Valley is new.
Genasci says the drought in 2022 shook the county and the state, forcing farmers to uproot the crops they'd usually grow.
The wet weather in 2023 created the perfect breeding ground for rodents.
Farmers are trying everything they can to protect their crop and their walnuts from this infestation. However, Genasci says it's becoming increasingly more difficult because they have to use fewer rodenticides.
He's hoping that soon, farmers and growers can catch a break.
Genasci says there is an informal meeting with California's Department of Pesticide Regulation next month. There, he hopes the concerns of growers are heard, and they can take a step towards fixing this infestation.
