Using Winter Rainstorms to Push Gypsum into the Soil

2025-10-15T12:20:12-07:00

By Allie Cushnyr Senior Agronomist, Holloway Mother Nature has her own schedule that each of us live by every day. Based on weather forecasts, we decide whether to go on a morning run, seed rye on the lawn and if we want to host a backyard BBQ. Farming feels the same effects. The climate decides what plants will thrive in the field, the diseases we fight against for top yields, and whether rain will temporarily halt harvest. This first big rain of the season was poorly timed for some harvesting activity, field preparation, and planting fields before winter arrives, but [...]

Tissue sampling has helped growers identify, address nutrient issues after a cold, rainy bloom April is a busy time of year for our agronomy team, walking orchards and taking samples during what is a critical health check for almonds and other crops in a stage of rapid vegetative and fruit growth (hull and shell development is the focus over the next few weeks for almonds). “Spring tissue samples give us a great snapshot into what’s going on in season,” says Holloway Director of Agronomy Steve Lenander. “The sampling we do in late May and June are more of [...]

Volunteers Help Remove 200 Tons of Dirt, Flood Debris from Oceano Ranch

2023-02-12T08:11:41-08:00

Volunteers from The Holloway Group and Team Rubicon spent much of Saturday helping remove more than 200 tons of debris and dirt from the flood-plagued Cardoza Ranch in Oceano. All 12 acres of Pat and Vickie Cardoza’s ranch was flooded – by as much as 10-15 feet of water in some areas – in mid-January when storm runoff in Arroyo Grande Creek ran over a failing levee and flooded their home and farmland south of Oceano.
