Strawberry farmer hopes steam holds the key to healthy soil and a better crop

WATSONVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Long-time strawberry farmer Rod Koda has rows of plants on his California farm that are still producing fruit well after the harvest would typically end. The fields brimming with green near the Pacific Coast have produced nearly twice the amount of organic strawberries this year as other plots thanks to steam, he said. The bountiful plots were treated with steam before Koda planted his organic strawberries as part of a project aimed at finding an alternative to chemical fumigants used to kill soil-borne diseases and weeds. “It's a very noticeable difference,” Koda said. Steam has been used for decades in greenhouses, and researchers in California have been working to adapt the technology to the fields where strawberries, one of the state's key crops, are grown near the Pacific Coast. It’s part of a broader push to help organic farmers become more productive and reduce the use of chemicals that environmental advocates say pose a health risk to farmworkers and those who live near the fields. Rick Tomlinson, president of the California Strawberry Commission, said researchers have been working on steam for more than a decade and are tinkering with the technology so it can be applied

Grape Escapes: The Deep(est) Dive on 2026 Harvest

Oct. 9, 2026—Remember how weird this winter was? A very warm January and March, which caused vines to bud out early, was followed by a sudden April switch to cool and wet. It was also breezy, which disturbed flowering on the early budding varietals. This caused a classic case of shatter, resulting in poor fruit set.

San Juan Oaks housing development keeps moving forward as resort turns 30

While San Juan Oaks Golf Club is celebrating its 30-year anniversary, a housing development being led by Third Millennium Partners is continuing to make progress. According to Third Millennium Partners CEO Dustin Bogue, his group purchased the golf course and housing development in 2015, recognizing the two concerns were “inexplicably intertwined.” It made sense, Bogue said, to combine the properties for water conservation, and it would be easy to connect homeowners with services at the golf course.
