Healdsburg's 6 Most Expensive Home Sales Last Week

A study by Trace One reports that Sonoma County farmers lose nearly $17 million annually to climate-related disasters, primarily drought, but local leaders question the accuracy. - The study used FEMA and USDA data to estimate annual losses, but local ag commissioner Andrew Smith provided specific disaster reports showing lower losses in 2020 and 2021.

- Farmers face complex costs from drought, including lower yields, water management expenses, and adaptation measures, which are difficult to quantify annually. - Tyler Klick of Redwood Empire Vineyard Management reported losing millions in profits during the multiyear drought due to light yields.

The study highlights the challenge of measuring climate change impacts on agriculture, with local experts emphasizing the need for more nuanced analysis.
