FARMERS AND RANCHERS web S.S.

CENTRAL COAST FARMERS AND RANCHERS SPENT MUCH OF YESTERDAY (AFTER THE 10:15 A.M., 6.0 MAGNITUDE QUAKE, CHECKING IRRIGATION PIPES, LIVESTOCK AND OTHER PROPERTY. JOY FITZHUGH, OF THE SAN LUIS OBISPO FARM BUREAU SAID THEY WILL ALSO CHECK AREA CREEKS AND SPRINGS TO SEE IF THEY HAVE GONE DRY, OR IF NEW ONES HAVE DEVELOPED.
AFTER LAST DECEMBER?S QUAKE IN PASO ROBLES, MANY AREA WINERIES WORKED TO SECURE WINE BARRELS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT. THOSE EFFORTS APPEAR TO WORK, AS NO VINTNERS REPORTED SERIOUS DAMAGE.
