The Lundberg family has a long commitment to sustainable farming practices that care for the soil, wildlife, air and water. Their conservation achievements include growing rice following national organic standards, utilizing natural methods of pest control, and flooding fields to break down rice stubble and to provide habitat for millions of migrating waterfowl each winter. <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Default\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;\"><strong>\u2022 Rominger Brothers Farm, Inc., <\/strong>Yolo County, is a <\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;\">diversified farm and ranch owned and operated by fifth-generation farming brothers Bruce and Rick. They grow a variety of vegetable, tree, fruit and grain crops, having spent the last 30 years evolving their operation into a model of sustainability. Included in their list of accomplishments is growing their main crop, tomatoes, with water-wise drip irrigation and in-field moisture sensors to ensure they\u2019re applying no more water than their crops need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Default\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;\"><strong>\u2022 Sweet Haven Dairy,<\/strong> Fresno County, a dairy run by brothers Donny and Andy Rollins.

This and other water-saving practices have helped them reduce their water use by 50% and save tens of millions of gallons of water each year.
