CHICO — Chico rice farmer and meteorologist Rob Doornbos kept getting asked what the winter weather was going to be like.
“The Department of Water Resources and partners said we were still in a drought and then in March of 2023 we had three weeks of atmospheric rivers. It was a very wet spring and that was the most gratifying experience of my 30 years,” he said. “They said ‘how could you get up there and say that?’ and ‘how do you know that?’ and ‘It’s irresponsible.’ I was so discouraged by that that I didn’t look at it for four years. Tim Johnson with the California Rice Commission then asked me where I could look for winter precipitation,” Doornbos said.“I said there were big problems with the weather service information. I told him about my work and he said ‘that sounds really promising,” Doornbos said.
“It allows me to forecast and plan. It helps me in the winter because if there is a big rainstorm coming in it helps me manage my flooding issues.”“It helps during the growing season,” he said. “I don’t want to lose my crops to frost so I get the high and low temperatures. It allows us to plan for our crops from frost to harvest.”
