PBS News recently did a story on the importance of Yuma’s winter vegetable production and the pressures the Western US is facing due to water scarcity. The story features insights from local growers Matt McGuire, JV Smith Companies and Jon Dinsmore, Dinsmore Farms, as well as Arizona Department of Agriculture Director, Paul Brierley. The report is well done, covering the basics of Yuma agriculture and the water shortage issues the industry is facing. It’s a quality piece, worth a listen.
