California Farm Bureau President Shannon Douglass commented today on the outcome of the general election:
“The California Farm Bureau looks forward to working with the new administration and Congressional leaders to advance meaningful legislation over the next four years. Our primary focus must be on addressing the many challenges facing California’s farmers and ranchers to ensure a safe, reliable and affordable food supply.
“Key challenges include securing a sustainable water supply, tackling labor shortages, passing a full reauthorization of the Farm Bill, improving trade policies and reducing the high costs and regulatory burdens that farmers and ranchers face. We believe that only through genuine bipartisan cooperation and decisive action from Congress can we begin to address these obstacles.”
The California Farm Bureau works to protect family farms and ranches on behalf of more than 26,000 members statewide and as part of a nationwide network of 5.8 million Farm Bureau members.
