Monterey County agriculture: Flooding is watering down the bottomline

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:09:16 GMT

SALINAS – While it will be a few weeks at least before the local agriculture industry has a firm grasp of the mess left by torrential rain and repeated flooding this year, the meter is running.According to unofficial estimates,  some 20,000 acres of local farmland flooded in recent storms, threatening a costly road to recovery. Not catastrophic, in the grand scheme of Monterey County’s 366,000 acres of productive farmland, but far from insignificant either, with impacts already felt industry-wide and more surely on the way as slowly receding flood waters reveal just how much havoc winter weather wreaked over the past three months.Waiting to see how damages tally up, some county officials and local agricultural leaders have come to their own wary but educated guess on the final economic blow, once fields are dry and consequences are apparent.Appraisals start in the 10-digit range.Floodwaters from the Salinas River overtop River Road and agricultural fields at Las Palmas.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Brayden Schenn and Kasperi Kapanen had two goals and an assist apiece in the St. Louis Blues’ 6-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night.Jakub Vrana and Sammy Blais also scored during a three-goal first period in St. Louis’ fourth win in five games. The sixth-place Blues are all but certain to miss the playoffs for only the second time since 2011, but they routed the Ducks while scoring at least five goals for the third time in their last six games.“The team played an outstanding game,” said Kapanen, who matched his career high with his fifth three-point game. “I think we’ve got a great core. It was a good example today, and hopefully it will look like that in the future.”Jordan Binnington made 22 saves in his first game action after a two-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct — namely, hitting Minnesota’s Ryan Hartman in the head with his blocker during a melee with the Wild on March 15.
