“The Tehama County Agriculture Department has been flooded with calls about grasshoppers and leafhoppers that are abundant in Tehama County.
We’ve been swamped with calls, Agricultural Commissioner Rick Gurrola said. We’ve been getting about half a dozen to a dozen calls a day, plus walk-ins and some calling in for commercial permits because of damage to crops.”
