"When I wake up and I have that coffee in the morning and everything looks bright for the rest of the day, that's what springtime looks like for us out here," Lodi Blooms Owner and Chinchiolo Farming Company Manager James Chinchiolo said.
"When the tree is able to go into full dormancy and really take in this cool weather, it is able to wake up brighter and with more vigor," Chinchiolo explained.
"The cooler weather like this allows for what we call chill portions to accumulate," he explained. "Chill portions is kind of just a fancy calculation to suggest that it's really, really cool. This high humidity helps out with that and the fog layer keeps things cool in the afternoon."
While this weather has been great for most San Joaquin County farmers, it's been a bit more challenging for those in the rice fields.
If this weather continues, farmers are hopeful for a good crop.
"All the stars at this point are aligning," Chinchiolo continued. "As an industry, I think we're asking for a little bit more rain in February and March and then a mild summer, just like we did last year, and we'll have another beautiful year."
Overall, this fog is a net positive for San Joaquin County agriculture.
