sfgate.com -- California farmers to destroy 420,000 peach trees following Del Monte bankruptcy Del Monte permanently closed its Modesto and Hughson canneries in April after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last July. The factory closures left hundreds of workers without a job while also leaving farmers in dire straits as they navigated what to do with their crops. In March, the Sacramento Bee reported that many Central California farmers had their 20-year contracts to grow peaches with Del Monte canceled while facing a $550 million loss in revenue.
The impacts pushed a delegation of California lawmakers to ask the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide financial support to the fruit growers. Last week, California Sen. Adam Schiff and Reps. Mike Thompson and David Valadao announced in a news release that the USDA had approved their request to pay California farmers to remove around 3,000 acres of clingstone peach trees before the harvest season. According to the news release, removing 50,000 tons of peaches from production could help growers save about $30 million in losses.

Неожиданное для Европы здравомыслие!
May. 5th, 2026 05:49 pmBRUSSELS — A €20 billion European Union plan to build massive artificial intelligence computing hubs is drawing widespread criticism ahead of launch.
The plan to build very large computing hubs to train powerful AI models — outlined by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen more than a year ago — will be announced this spring as Europe’s response to bold U.S. efforts to boost computing power.
But legislators and experts question whether there’s demand in Europe for the computing power these buildings will generate, and say the EU risks plowing €20 billion into an effort that will be unsuccessful in helping it compete with the U.S. and China.
Когда-нибудь и у нас так будет.
