Firefighters are making progress on controlling the California wildfires, which have been burning for more than a week.

While the impacted area is largely urban, agriculture has also been impacted.

Peter Ansel with the California Farm Bureau spoke with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander on the impact to ag, what he is hearing from producers, and how ag can help protect communities from wildfires.
