California currently has the largest population of Asian farmers in the nation and that number is rapidly increasing.

Pao\u2019s grant afforded repairs for pump efficiency and a conversion from furrow to drip irrigation. These SWEEP-funded improvements cut energy and water bills in half and grant significant labor efficiency.

Once he receives his CDFA payment, Yang will replace valves and install drip irrigation throughout the farm. He anticipates major benefits as a result. He estimates his farm\u2019s annual $8,000 energy bill to decrease by half. Reduced weed pressure due to the more efficient irrigation method will offer a multitude of benefits to his operation, while both reducing labor costs and increasing crop production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Farmer Climate Leader: <\/strong>Pao Ly<br \/>\n<strong>Farm Operation:\u00a0<\/strong>36 acres leased to 10 farmers<br \/>\n<strong>SWEEP grant: <\/strong>$68,000 for pump repairs and conversion to drip irrigation<br \/>\n<strong>Benefits to the farmer: <\/strong>Energy and water cost savings<\/p>\n<p>Pao Ly, not currently a farmer himself, says that he may one day return to farming. In the meantime, he leases the 36 acres that he owns to ten farmers. With his SWEEP award, Ly will make repairs to his pump to increase its efficiency and implement conversions to drip irrigation on the farms. Both of these measures will significantly decrease the demand for energy and water use in the operations on Ly\u2019s land.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical Assistance is Critical<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of over 1,000 Hmong farmers in the Central Valley, just 17 have been awarded SWEEP grants so far. The <a href=\"http:\/\/sfp.ucdavis.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Small Farm Program<\/a> at UCCE Fresno County determined that technical assistance in applying for SWEEP funding was necessary for small-scale Southeast Asian farmers who were particularly vulnerable during the recent drought and subsequent groundwater depletion. They provided considerable technical assistance to growers, with only partial funding from CDFA, because they perceive it to critical to the mission of the Small Farm Program. <a href=\"http:\/\/ucanr.edu\/blogs\/blogcore\/postdetail.cfm?postnum=25150\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More about UCCE Fresno County\u2019s work in providing technical assistance to Hmong farmers here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>CalCAN advocates for the funding and provision of technical assistance to be paired with state-funded grant programs for farmers. Many small and medium-sized farmers, like these Hmong farmers in the Central Valley, depend on technical assistance to overcome barriers to receiving state grants, whether it is a language barrier or a tight labor budget and lack of capacity to fill out the applications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Future of SWEEP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SWEEP has the potential to both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance the resilience of California farmers in the face of water scarcity that is increasingly likely to be exacerbated by climate change. SWEEP is an extremely popular program\u2014for every farmer who received a grant in the most recent round of funding, four farmers were turned away.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the California <a href=\"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/no-funding-for-healthy-soils-and-sweep-programs-in-cap-and-trade-budget-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state legislature failed to allocate any funding for SWEEP<\/a> in the 2017-2018 fiscal year, a huge disappointment to CalCAN and our partners, and a missed opportunity to invest in one of the state&#8217;s most cost-effective climate programs. CalCAN and our partners will continue to advocate for renewed funding for SWEEP at a level that meets farmer demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In California, Asian farmers play a critical part in providing culturally relevant food to Asian populations throughout the state.
