I can’t turn this into a Berry Brief feature without violating the crop-native requirement. The supplied material concerns Pierce’s disease risk to grapevines and an investigation involving nursery shipments; it provides no verified berry-crop exposure, berry shipment connection, or operational consequence for California berry farms. Adding one would mean inventing stakes. Please provide berry-specific reporting or a documented connection to berry operations.
