Great explainer video!
Wow, a lot of good Leaves being thrown away :(((((((((((((
This is a good thirty second video, thanks for sharing!
I only enjoy wine grapes now that i have eaten them. I used to hate grapes but the flavour of wine grapes has captivated me.
:D
The drip irrigation system is very easy to block. The floating drip irrigation device has two characteristics: (1) Auto-remove impurities of water (2) Adjustable flow rate drip , more suitable for drip irrigation, as detailed in TH-cam : th-cam.com/video/P495Nk62QMQ/w-d-xo.html
Very informative. I liked that the Association brings the reality of farming to an urban audience. Far too many people think that food comes from the grocery store with no clue as to how it gets there. The many functional areas of WGTA were certainly an eye-opener for me. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind note, Lenore. We hope to help more people understand where their food comes from...and more about the farmers who grow them!
Does this law apply in Yuma Az too?
No, it only applies to California.
Saying a phrase like "The good news for California Ag employers is that you can have your employee work seven straight days....." is just bad optics for the industry and should be avoided. Instead frame the policy around "When you have an employee who says they want to work that seventh day, let them know about their rights to take the day off, and if they still want to work on that seventh day, have them fill out the form and be sure to pay the overtime hourly rate." Something along those lines reads better to the general public and labor unions.
Good job cousin imma proud of you!
This so awesome. Keep up the great work Sabrina... Your a blessing to these children. <3
Hi Wendy, I want to subscribe, but I don't know Tom's number. Also, I can't get the U Tube honoring Jon Vessey to play. Can you help me? Love, Zinetta
