The wildfires out west are causing a lot of devastation to homes and businesses, but you might not think about the impact on agriculture. This story from The Packer describes the damage to avocado farms from the wind-driven blazes. You can read it here.
Avocado trees near Fallbrook, Calif., suffered damage from the Lilac fire in San Diego County, which was 95% contained as of Wednesday morning, Dec. 13, according to a story by The San Diego Union-Tribune. The Thomas fire is still only 25% contained, so fully assessing damage to avocado groves in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties is still underway. Photo by Albert Munoz/Mission Produce
