A new study states that Solano County farms are expected to lose about $48.42 million per year to natural disasters – an average of $68,008 per farm. That is a loss rate of 12.6% for the 712 Solano County farms. The total agricultural value, according to the 2024 Solano County Crop & Livestock Report, is $437.94 million. … “Drought is a persistent challenge on the West Coast, particularly in California, as well as the Southwest and parts of the Southern Plains, where water scarcity hampers crop yields and livestock production,” the study statement said.
