Some growers did suffer significant crop loss due to hail storms West of Tulare. Watch this brief interview with Tulare County Almond/Pistachio grower Brian Watte, also current Chairman of American Pistachio Growers, as he discusses the impact of the recent storms. Read more about it in the coming issue of Pacific Nut Producer Magazine.
