A recent storm has brought significant challenges to agriculture in California's Central Valley, particularly affecting crops at Fresno State. Heavy rain, wind, and hail have disrupted the delicate stages of development for several crops, including blooming orchards. The university's agriculture department is actively assessing the damage across its diverse range of crops, which includes almonds, citrus, alfalfa, corn, and wheat. While some crops like pomegranates and pistachios remain dormant and unaffected, almond trees have suffered damage with petals scattered due to the storm. Additionally, the storm has complicated pollination efforts as bees struggle to work in colder temperatures.
