 In California, each county has an Agricultural Commissioner and Sealer of Weights and Measures working to protect individual consumers, the environment and the agriculture industry in the state which is currently valued at $36 Billion. We work to maintain a balance between regulatory requirements and commerce to meet the 21st Century challenges and demands of our dynamic food and agriculture industry and to protect our abundant and varying ecosystems. Each day we ensure that consumers get what they pay for at the pharmacy, the grocery store and the gasoline pump. We are also continually surveying for harmful pests and plant diseases that could damage some of the 300-plus agricultural crops grown in California, a large part of the global food and fiber supply.Mary Pfeiffer, President, CACASA
