Sonora, CA — Now that California´s searing heat wave has abated, farmers, ranchers and agriculture officials have started tallying the damage.
The heat killed livestock and harmed crops around the state, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture wants Mother Lode farmers and ranchers to report losses.
