California Farm Bureau offers updates on the impact of wildfires in both urban and rural communities

“The impacts of wildfire in California are felt statewide.”

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.
