Farmers in Stanislaus County are facing challenges due to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act and uncertain water allocations for the upcoming year. Despite these concerns, they are currently optimistic about the growth of spring crops and the potential of the almond, apricot, and walnut crops. The rescinding of the 5% water allocation from the Central Valley Project is expected to lead to increased well use and potential fallowing of land. Milk production in dairies remains strong, despite an oversupply in the market.

Some dairies have diversified their marketing strategies, including using the Barn2Door platform, to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic on their business.

We got 5% (water) allocations from Westlands (Water District), and then they put it on hold. I don't know what that means. We've never seen that before. They're either going to take it away or give it to us late, when it's too late. We make plans on our crops and commitments, and if they take away that (water), it's going to hurt us. Our plan is to just grow them with well water. That's as much as we can do. We normally go with the contracts ...
