A California tie that binds - Tom Pires

The future farmers and livestock companies do not have to struggle anymore in the austere circumstance many of us have been facing. My team is trying to freely get anew knowledge out to the public on how to adapt to climate change.

We are working with Huron’s Mayor, Rey Leon to collaborate with their city counsel. Huron is one of the many communities in the Central San Joaquin Valley suffering from the effects of climate change, in turn resulting in reduction of surface irrigation water

In the case of Westlands federal water district, 150k-200k out of 550,000 of prime agricultural land is currently left idled/un-farmed. Huron amongst many other townships dependent upon agriculture can be rescued from these bleak conditions. I have found a solution that is pertinent to the position we are in.

 

The future of agriculture will embrace new methods to move forward utilizing limited resources. For example, I have converted to drip irrigation that has reduced water usage by 50% and at the same time doubled my crop production.

 

Our team has grown beautiful industrial hemp putting us in the Guinness book of world records for the tallest hemp plant in the world. We have produced yields up to eight tons an acre of dry matter in these extreme drought conditions.
