If California would legalize cannabis, these farmers would have a potentially much more lucrative crop to farm.

My grandparents came here from Europe and worked just as hard. My heart goes out to all farmers in America. They are an endangered species.

We never learn.
Our most valuable asset in our great state – the land – is sometimes treated with such a disregard it’s really sad.

The land that does get sold ends up as housing tracts. Less available land to farm close to where it is needed most.

My parents grew up in farming country. It’s called being land rich, money poor.

pay double the property tax, be prevented from expanding their farm, ultimately have to sell and find a new home.
