Agriculture
California is home to the largest food and agriculture industry in the nation. And our state’s 77,000 farms produce half of the nation’s fruits, vegetable, and nuts.
That’s why I’m working to pass the AgJOBS bill to provide our agriculture industry with the workers they desperately need.
As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I have worked for many years to secure a fair share of federal funding for California agriculture. Our farmers need federal support to prevent and control pest infestations, ensure reliable access to water supply, and maintain competitiveness in the global marketplace.
It is my hope that California will remain a worldwide leader in agriculture, and our farmers will continue to feed the nation and world.
