Agriculture is a major part of the California economy, but you would not know it from the policies of Arnold, the Legislature or the Judges ruling the State.
"California's specialty crop industries largely fruits and vegetables add up to some $15.9 billion annually, or $43.5 million each day of the year, in so-called "ripple effect" business activity as a result of collective industry spending, according to new research paid for by the industries marketing arm, the Buy California Marketing Agreement, which runs the "California Grown" program.
It does not include figures from the states tree nut industry, where California dominates the nation in production of almonds and walnuts."
At the same time the Administration is putting in affect regulations on run off water that will either close down farms or cost a mint. Arnold has pushed AB 32 and SB 375, which forces farmers to buy new equipment that meets the artificial standards of those suffering from the deadly disease AGS (Al Gore Syndrome)--while good equipment is being used, government is forcing farmers to buy new equipment--though they do not have the money to pay for it.
It seems like the State and Arnold want only one crop in California and that is marijuana. When will government protect farmers and stop killing the State?
