The farmland around Yuba City in Northern California produces almost the entire crop of the country's canned peaches, and two-thirds of its walnuts, almonds, pistachios and plums.
It's also home to a large and deeply-rooted Punjabi American community. But farmers there, like those across the state, are facing severe challenges due to the ongoing drought.
To talk about the history of the community in the area and the challenges that the current drought poses to local farmers, we're joined by two guests. Sunita Sohrabji is a reporter with India West. And Karm Bains is a grower whose family has been farming the area for generations.
