Voice of the American Farmer: Coping with COVID

Article – June 2, 2020

We received a lot of positive feedback and afterward reached out to farmers we work with to discuss how the pandemic was impacting them. Here’s what we heard from Frank Ratto, President and Owner of Ratto Bros., Inc. Ratto Bros. is a fourth generation family-owned business that grows a variety of leafy green vegetables on approximately 1,500 acres in Modesto, CA, and 500 acres in Yuma, AZ. Typically, Ratto Bros. turns the ground three to five times annually depending on the season and crop. They utilize a range of new technologies and conservation measures, including GPS tractor guidance technology, resulting in better crop yields and precision water flow for irrigation. Solar power also runs facilities at the farm – including an 80,000-square-foot cold storage building. Additionally, the farm employs water conservation strategies, such as recycled irrigation water to assist with dust control.

Who Will Harvest in the New World of COVID-19?

Article – April 2, 2020

As our Federal and State governments respond to this daily unfolding crisis, there’s much talk about “essential services” remaining open to ensure that supply chain lines, grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, etc. stay open to enable the continued functioning of our society. To put it simply, I think this pandemic is showing how “essential” farmers in the U.S. are in ensuring the food supply remains plentiful and moving across our country.
