Summary
California lawmakers are sounding the alarm as a tiny but devastating pest—the glassy-winged sharpshooter—threatens the state’s $10 billion wine and grape industry, having already spread to 38 counties after hitching a ride on Costco grapevines. With bipartisan urgency, representatives are demanding $30 million from the USDA to deploy traps, monitors, and surveillance to stop the spread before it’s too late. The Central Valley, a major table grape hub, is especially vulnerable. Without swift action, experts warn losses could soar to $100 million annually—and the economic ripple effects could be catastrophic.
