4A Daily News – Saturday, January 4, 2014 Agriculture farm & ranch Winter dinner tonight Tonight is the annual winter dinner of the Tehama County Cattlemen. Some years we have had heavy fog, or rain, but the snow would come during Red Bluff Bull Sale, not the night of the dinner. I am afraid that it will be dry and cold this year.

Avoid tank mixes that include insecticides. As bloom season approaches, growers should remember to use caution when applying bloom-time sprays and consider their potential impact on bees. As more data is being developed on potential impacts from specific fungicides, growers should avoid bloom sprays where possible when bees and pollen are present. When sprays are necessary, spray in the late afternoon or evening when bee activity is at a minimum. Avoid direct contact with hives, colonies and bees where possible. Bees that come into contact with agricultural sprays will not be able to fly due to the weight of spray droplets on their wings. If they fall to the ground, in the shade, they are likely to die of chilling. The Almond Board's Bob Curtis, associate director, Agricultural Affairs, advises using extra caution when tank mixing insecticides with fungicides, as tank mixing can have unintended consequences to bees. The Almond Board, in 2013–14, is funding nearly $200,000 in pollination and honey bee research. This research will address honey bee health priorities, including fungicide applications as well as stock improvement, nutrition and supplemental forage, Varroa mite control and methods for transferring new technical information on these issues to beekeepers. These research areas are in line with priorities related to honey bee health cited almost universally by bee researchers, beekeepers and other experts during recent discussions and public forums on honey bee health. The focus of research and other efforts are to assure a sufficient supply of healthy bees for almond pollination and assure that almonds continue to be a good and safe place for bees through beekeeper and grower best management practices. Merger creates Golden State Farm Credit KINGSBURG — The Board of Directors of Northern California Farm Credit, ACA (NCFC), and the Federal Land Bank Association of Kingsburg, FLCA (KFLBA) have announced the merger of the two associations to form Golden State Farm Credit, ACA effective Jan. 1. This new partnership brings together two well-capitalized California Farm Credit associations with more than $1.1 billion in total loans. To maintain continuity in governance, the new association's board is made up of directors from each region. Tom Martin (Durham) was elected chairman of Golden State Farm Credit at the December board meeting, and James Oliver (Fowler) was elected vice chairman. Other board members include: Stephen Brown (Riverdale), Michael Chambers (Gridley), Harry (Rick) Cinquini (Chico), Michael Fry (Kingsburg), Glen Hawes (Palo Cedro), James Holt (Chico) – outside director, Gregory Long (Corning), Sandra Mansfield (Davis) – outside director, George Nicolaus (Chico), Robert Reimer (Dinuba), George Swaner (Glenn) and John Tos (Hanford). After the 2015 election cycle, each region will be represented by five elected director positions. All current office locations — Chico, Red Bluff, Willows, Kingsburg and Hanford — will remain open and all staff members will stay in place with the exception of Bruce Strickler, president and CEO of Northern California Farm Credit. Strickler's retirement after more than 27 years in his current position coincided with the merger. Scott Anderson, will serve as the president and CEO of the new association after serving in that capacity at Kingsburg Land Bank since 2004. For more information, visit www.gsfarmcredit.com.
