A Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter find in Turlock back in August 2024 has led to an expanding quarantine in Stanislaus County.

At Malcolm Media’s Tree & Vine Expo in Turlock and in an interview with Matthew Malcolm on California Ag Network, Stanislaus County Ag Commissioner Linda Pinfold shared the details of the quarantine and their efforts with the community in eradicating this invasive pest from the county. Watch this brief interview and read more about it in the January issue of American Vineyard Magazine.
