Yolo agriculture, which produced crops worth $670 million in 2020, is going through a few changes. That’s not surprising, because of the drought, Covid-19 pandemic and climate change, but maybe some of the details are. For example, sales of CSA boxes (“community supported agriculture”) rose sharply last year, helping to balance lower food sales to restaurants and institutions; longer term, some growers are moving crops to Yolo from even drier parts of the state. Yolo Agricultural Commissioner Humberto Izquierdo talks about these changes, his job, the value of open space, and a few things he wishes the county's city residents would know about farming, on today’s Davisville.

Football Club Davis was established in 2017. It originally started as a men’s team, the FC Davis Lions, and launched its women’s team in 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode FC Davis owner Adam Lewin tells us about the team's 2021 season, which just like the rest of the world, was full of uncertainty. As the pandemic raged, COVID cases were still high, vaccine rates were not where we wanted them to be, sports restrictions kept changing, and we were still learning how to keep fans and players safe on the field. During an unforgettable summer FC Davis' men's team earned the #1 seed in the Golden Gate Conference and the FC Davis Lionesses played their inaugural season.
