"My name's Jack siler and we're in imperial county, California. And this is an old alfalfa stand of ours. On a very hot day this summer, Nikki and I drove a few hours inland from Los Angeles to the town of Blythe, California, which is on the Colorado River, Blythe is an agricultural town, and there's a lot of alfalfa growing in the fields around there. We were there to meet up with one of the farmers growing a bunch of that alpha. Jack siler. He took us out into his fields. The desert in the distance was all brown and beige, but the fields we were standing in stretch out for acres and acres of bright green. The alfalfa was about knee height. Can we try it? Gonna have some. Just tastes like grass. Green. Tastes green. Very green. There's a vegetable. It reminds me of an herb but I can't place it right now. It's actually kind of tasty. If you'd seen less in the field, it would have looked like we were snacking on some leafy herb, but alfalfa apparently isn't an herb or even a grass. It's actually a legume, and therefore it's related to the pea family. John's Japan ski is director of the U.S. Farage export council, far edge, in this case, just means the grassy bales of hay that horses and catalyse. Cynthia and I may have enjoyed munching on alfalfa in the field, but we are not its target audience. Humans are not the main consumers of alfalfa, not by a long shot. Elf is primarily fed as a nutrition for dairy cattle. In fact, two thirds of all the alfalfa grown in the United States is fed for dairy cattle. And most of what dairy cattle eat is alfalfa. Because of its high protein and it also has a good percentage of fiber. That combination. That's perfect for dairy cattle. That's exactly what a lactating dairy cow needs. It is a crop that really produces milk in a very effective way. And animals really relish this crop. Dan putnam is the alfalfa man. He's the University of California's extension specialist on alfalfa and other forages. The modern dairy cow produces about three to four times as much milk per cow as a cow did in the 1950s, and so we have to remember that that animal requires very high quality feeds. Like alfalfa. You know, I call it a food producing engine because, you know, you can produce approximately 2000 to 2500 gallons of milk in an alfalfa field commonly. And we Americans eat a massive amount of dairy on average more than three times our body weight

"Up their mind in one direction. Yes, get rid of him. This last year has been hard, says Jefferson. Thinks Newsome didn't go through struggles like she did, adjusting to distance learning on the fly. Nobody paid me that extra time and then he's enjoying all this. So you know, I just don't think he's a good lever to stay in office, Newsom will have to turn out Democratic voters and keep the states Latino electorate aligned with the party. That's especially true here in Imperial County, historically blue area where 85% of residents are Latino. We are a border region and so really that colors the way that we view our politics. Stephen Morella's is with the county Republican Party, he says, a key reason that Trump did so much better here in 2020, then in 2016 was his focus on the border, and we certainly saw that in terms of the money that was coming into the region to kind of secure our border, upgrade our fence scene, hiring more border patrol workers and upgrading technology. Means jobs and easier cross border commutes in Imperial County. Trump also showed up in 2019. He paid a visit to El Central and Calexico. So behind us is the wall. In 2020. Republicans made gains across the country in Latino communities like Imperial County, where they invested time and resources, says Sonia Diaz, founding director of the Latino Policy and Politics Initiative. That U C L A. That does not necessitate that Latinos or somehow more Republican than they ever have been, But it provides this really clear and explicit recognition that in order to engage them, you have to actually invest in them. The Newsom campaign is hoping millions of dollars invested in Spanish language ads and Latino focused outreach will help the governor keep his job because in Latino communities like Imperial County, still overwhelmingly Democratic. The party has a turnout problem. The share of registered voters who cast a ballot and imperial was the lowest of any county in California in both 2018 and 2020. And now comes the recall election with its own barriers. It's a unique ballot in an off year happening in September, not a typical month for elections right now, most people don't even know what the recall is about. That's Raul Rayna.

"Joins us this morning. Hi, Allison. Good morning, Rachel explain exactly what action the FDA is expected to take today. Sure, well, Rachel, many people know the brand named Jewel. But there are hundreds of other companies that market e cigarette products, and many teenagers and young adults continue to use them. Now. Companies have known for a while that the FDA was in the process of reviewing their products to determine if they could stay on the market. But this process was going slowly, so advocacy group sued the FDA bottom line. The court gave the FDA one year to make some decisions that one year is up at As of today. Here's Matt Myers, He's president of the campaign for Tobacco Free Kids. Today, FDA is required to look at each product to determine whether the continued marketing of that product Will continue to put kids at risk. And whether the product can help adults who smoke quit. But Myers points to a 2020 surgeon general report that concludes there's just not enough evidence to make a determination. So let's back up a step. The original justification for e cigarettes is that they were less harmful right then smoking right regular cigarettes, and they might even help smokers quit Now. The concern is that The rise of Vaping led millions of young people to start using nicotine That's exactly it. And once they start, it's really hard to stop because nicotine whether it's in a cigarette or a Vape stick is very addictive. The E cigarette maker Jewel says it is trying to combat underage usage. Now, the company says it's focused on harm reduction for adult smokers. Now, data shows sales have been ticking up again and Matt Myers argues now is the time for the FDA to take decisive action. Over 80% of Kids who use these cigarettes use flavored products. Eliminating those products would be the most significant thing you could do to reverse the youth e cigarette epidemic. He says he'd also like to see the FDA removed products that deliver much higher levels of nicotine compared to cigarettes. So is that a possibility The FDA could just take some products off the market. Yes, absolutely. The agency is likely to continue to crack down on the flavored products. They've already denied applications for companies that market flavors such as Apple crumbles. Cinnamon toast crunch clearly designed to appeal to kids, But it's unclear what the agency will do about mental, which is very popular. Jewel markets, a mental product, and many health organizations have asked the FDA to reject jewels application Here is Erica sworn of the American Lung Association. We would oppose any jewel product remaining on the market. The history and their actions are clear that they're interested in addicting, a new generation and no jewel product, Whether it be tobacco flavored or menthol flavored should be allowed to remain on the market. Now the FDA could announce its decision any time now, Rachel, All right. We'll be watching for that. NPR's Allison Aubrey. Thank you. Thank you, Rachel.

"Local GOP organizers like Daniel Flores were able to use Trump's visit to network people that were present to show their support for President Trump when you arrived. People came up followed up. They signed up to volunteer and we've got more engaged. To be clear. Imperial County is still overwhelmingly Democratic. The party has a nearly 30 point registration advantage. But while Republicans have momentum, Democrats here have a turnout problem. The share of registered voters who cast a ballot was the lowest of any county in California. In both 2018 and 2020. I think one of the biggest barriers would be language barrier. Omara Goulart helped start the nonpartisan group via votes last year to educate and engage voters. It wasn't anything easy. There was no easy feat because if you're a parent and you you're not fluent with English, and you have to work more than 40 hours a week. The last thing that's going to be on your mind is how do I register to vote? And now comes the recall election with its own barriers.

It really spoke to, um The fact that they did want change in leadership in this recall, Newsom can't promise change so to win over constituents like his Urania says the governor needs to remind voters of the recall campaigns original emphasis on immigration. After all, If you look at the recall petition, the very first complaint against Newsom is that his policies quote favor foreign nationals. It's not about Covid is not about stealing money.

But they just need to figure out exactly how much to ask from whom and there's three places they're going to get money. They'll get it from grants. State parks, green sticker grants, They'll get it from the passes and I'll get it from federal allocations. How long And how long would you have your job?

I used to sit in your chair and go. Why are they taking so long? And when you get into the meetings with the people and you see what they're up against? You start going? Yeah, I see why it takes a long time. And you got to start somewhere, and it could take 10 years from very beginning to the very end.

In fact, her California director came to Imperial Beach to visit her stop is in very involved in this issue, so she's been great on the tissue as well as Senator Feinstein, but it's time for a new direction and and that's what I'm putting My My name in the hat or handed the ring And you know there is a perception out there at some points where you know, San Diego geographically being where it is. So we feel that the state of times may forget about us or things like that. You know, putting San Diego right back up there and kind of raising our hand and saying, Hey, what about us?
