Congratulations to the both the sellers and to the new owners of the Mountain Oasis!

USDA 2019 Report Finds 98% of Farms are Family Owned The United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Economic Research Service (ERS) has released their 20...19 report based on a sample of 15,800 farms. They found that small family farms make up almost 90% of all-American farms. Midsize family farms make up 5.5 % and large family farms make up 2.8 %, totaling 98% of farms are family owned. That leaves only 2.0 % of the farms in the US to be non-family farms. Those small family farms use over 47.7% of our farmland, midsize family farms use 21% of the farmland, large-scale family farms use 19.6% of the land for a total of 88.3% of the farm land used in this country. In contrast, non-family farms only use 11.7 % of the land. The different sizes of family farms is largely related to what the farmer is producing. Large family farms produce over two-thirds of our nation's dairy commodities, high-value crops, such as fruits and vegetables, over half of the cotton, as well as hogs, beef, and cash grain/soybeans. Midsize family farms grow over 35% of the grains and 30% of the cotton and poultry. Small family farms have a huge hold on the hay industry with over 75% being grown by them and 60% of the poultry also coming from them. This report included the income of those farmers from 2018 and cites that only 3% of our family farmers had household wealth lower than the median US income of $63,179. The total average household income of all family farms was $112,210. With such diversity in the sizes of farms and what they produce, it is easy to see how our country needs to protect all farmers to ensure they have the ability to feed their families and the world.

Double rainbow yesterday! We are blessed to live in the most amazing place!

Nice to see the support to our community and our veterans! Thank you, Five Mary’s and so much appreciation to our veterans for their service and sacrifice for our country.

The first thing buyers see when viewing a listing is the outside of the home, so curb appeal is a big deal. You don’t need to hire a landscaper to make your listing’s outdoor areas shine; small things, such as refreshing mulch, planting seasonal flowers, keeping on top of lawn maintenance, and adding a new doormat, can make an excellent first impression. Excellent advice from a recent Realtor.com article regarding home selling tips!!

Amy enjoyed a few days off at a horsemanship clinic in central California. It was a whole lot of fun and learning, but home again always feels good too. What things are your favorites for a little R&R? Happy Monday everyone!

Or a tractor! Buyer lost a deal when they bought a new tractor before escrow closed. Don’t buy anything. Maybe coffee. And one for your realtor. But nothing else!!

Kathy spent last weekend riding with a great group out at Mill Creek Ranch in Quartz Valley. It’s been an incredibly busy summer in real estate and some much need R&R is even better when it’s spent on horseback. This kind paint mare has been a part of our family for many years. She taken care of all of us, from the littlest kids on up. Time spent with good horses is the best!

A new, online service attempts to match landowners who want to reduce wildfire fuels with livestock owners whose animals could graze the land. Called Match.Graz...e, the website was developed by University of California Cooperative Extension. The extension service says grazing can provide an affordable alternative for decreasing grasses and other fire fuelsespecially on steep, rocky terrain or land in the urban-wildland interface. https://bit.ly/2GORK5e See more

A drive through Callahan and a stop at the Emporium are always enjoyable! Some of Amy’s family came to the Callahan area clear back in the 1860’s during the Gold Rush. It’s hard to imagine this tiny community as a busy mining town and camp with several thousand people living there.

Prop 15 does NOT exempt agriculture, California Farm Bureau President Jamie Johansson said. It hikes taxes on fruit trees, nut trees, grape vines, dairies, irrigation equipment, barns, and much more. California’s family farmers were hit hard by the current CoVid-19 crisis. Prop 15’s tax hike on our livelihoods is the last thing we need. Prop 15’s taxes on agricultural property aren’t just going to hit family farmers - they’re going to land hard on California consumers, m...any of whom are already struggling with the cost of living in this state Ag Council President Emily Rooney. Paul Dictos, Fresno County Assessor/Recorder Passage of Prop 15 would have an adverse effect on California taxpayers. The family farmer, the backbone of the industry, may soon belong to history. SAVE CA FAMILY FARMS. Vote NO on Prop 15 this November.
