FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – As parts of the Central Valley were hit by some unseasonal late summer rain, some in agriculture felt big impacts, even with a relatively low amount falling. For some, rain can be a welcome sight at this time of year. For others, like valley raisin growers in the middle of harvest, it can be a disaster. "There are lots of people that are having bad days today. So, give them their space. Let them, you know, handle their situation as appropriately as they can. But there's lots of upset people today," said Steven Cardoza, owner of Cardoza & Cardoza Farming Company in Fresno County. In early September, Cardoza had been in the midst of 105-degree heat, a challenge on its own. This week, the latest challenge is rain, a crop danger he says he was narrowly able to avoid. "I've been paranoid for the last few days with this weather and these temperatures that we were going to get some form of precipitation," Cardoza said. "So we've been scrambling to get everything out of the field as fast as humanly possible. Luckily, we made it. Last night, we got everything out of the field and into the barn." However, some of the farms around Cardoza's area could be seen after the rainfall with raisins left out. With the large drops seen by many, Cardoza says the damage could be high, especially in the harvest. "There's always a light layer of dust and when the raisins have a little dust on top of them and they get rained on, it feels like a gentle drizzle to us, but it feels like high-velocity rain drops hitting those berries and they'll pack sand into them," he said. The Raisin Bargaining Association says it can take one to two days to determine if damage was done. If so, they advise farmers to contact their insurance. For those without insurance, Cardoza says the costs can be high with fees to sort out the lost fruit. "If you start with 10 tons and you have a reconditioning fee per ton, you're going to pay a fee on the 10, and then you're going to be left over with like seven tons. So, you're going to lose fruit, and you're going to pay costs on fruit that's now in the trash can," he said. Cardoza also has raisins that naturally dry on the vine, but with the exposure to rain, he said it can extend the drying season by weeks - weeks that could potentially put the grapes in harm's way with more wet weather coming later in the year. Now, Cardoza says they are just hoping to finish the season dry, to avoid big impacts on the rest of the fall raisin harvest.
