At our first stop we saw electric tractors which Pie Ranch was able to purchase with the assistance of the California Air Resources Board\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/californiacore.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CORE Program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This program provides voucher incentives for zero-emission off-road equipment including farm equipment. In addition to sequestering carbon through their on-farm climate resilience practices, Pie Ranch is able to reduce on-farm emissions by using electric equipment in accordance with their Carbon Farm Plan goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Equipment Sharing and AB 552<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our discussion about the electric tractors also turned to the topic of equipment sharing as a strategy to support small and mid-scale farmers in adopting climate resilient practices. Implements like no-till drills, compost spreaders, and roller crimpers can be cost-prohibitive for a producer to purchase on their own, but shared equipment programs allow multiple farmers to benefit from agricultural tools. We were especially excited to give Senator Becker a chance to see some of the equipment up close since he is a co-author on the CalCAN and CAFF sponsored bill, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB552\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AB 552<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Bennett) which seeks to create a grant program to support agricultural equipment sharing program efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Carbon Farm Plans and Native Plant Cultivation<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At our next stop Kasey Butler of San Mateo Resource Conservation District (RCD) shared more about the RCD\u2019s work with local farmers and ranchers to develop carbon farm plans. Carbon farm plans identify all the opportunities for GHG reduction and carbon sequestration on a farm and have similarities to traditional conservation plans. We also learned about the RCD\u2019s efforts to connect growers with financial resources and technical support to adopt climate-resilient practices outlined in carbon farm plans, such as cover cropping, hedgerows and compost application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tour also took us by an area where the Amah Mutsun Land Trust cultivates native plants to grow seed for restoration and rematriation projects in the region. Part of this work is supported by grants from the California State Parks Foundation from the last natural resources bond, Proposition 68 from 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18327\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18327\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/es\/?attachment_id=18327#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18327\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18327\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_8267.jpeg?resize=290%2C387&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"290\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_8267-scaled.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_8267-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_8267-scaled.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_8267-scaled.jpeg?w=1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18327\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rob Cuthrell of the Amah Mutsun Land Trust shares an overview of the Tribe\u2019s work<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Wildfire Resilience Efforts<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, Jered, one of the co-founders of Pie Ranch, shared how they are also improving wildfire resilience on the farm. In 2020 the CZU Lightning Complex fire destroyed Pie Ranch\u2019s 157-year-old farmhouse and several other structures on the property. In addition to rebuilding, Jered and others focused on removing the many eucalyptus trees found on the property. Eucaly<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ptus trees are native to Australia but considered an invasive species in California and pose a high fire risk. Removing the trees helps protect the farms from future wildfires and supports their efforts to restore native species at Pie Ranch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Developing A Regional Food Partnership<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For our last stop, we sat outside and learned more about Pie Ranch\u2019s work to support regional food systems while eating pie. Pie Ranch is one of several organizations that received a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ams.usda.gov\/services\/grants\/rfsp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USDA Regional Food Partnerships<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> grant to work on creating a 9-county food and agriculture district which could raise revenue and enact regional policies to support sustainable local food systems. In order to make this vision a reality, the effort will eventually need a bill passed by the State Legislature to authorize the authority. A recent example of this was the formation of the Bay Area Housing Finance Authority which was authorized via<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1487\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> AB 1487 (Chiu, 2019)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continued Advocacy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Climate Resilience<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, CalCAN shared our work as a current co-sponsor of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB408\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AB 408<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Wilson) and our advocacy to ensure that robust investments in a more sustainable food and farming system are included in any climate resilience bond.
