Public needs to learn about ag

Don Curlee
For the Capital Press

It's a shame that so few non-farm consumer types get to read any of the fine agricultural publications sent regularly to California farmers.

They miss a lot of good information that might help them understand and even enjoy and take pride in California agriculture. Information with the potential of making them more responsible and knowledgeable citizens and voters.

The current population of the state is about 38 million. Stretching it some, the number receiving any or all of the farm publications might be 100,000. My calculator tells me one Californian in every 3,800 is exposed to an editorial package about the state's dynamic farming presence on at least a monthly basis. Is it any wonder so few California citizens know what's going on around them in agriculture?

Of course, great educational programs are in place in the schools, and daily and weekly newspapers

California agriculture is a $36.6 billion dollar industry. How much work is done by illegal aliens?

Its definitely not union labor working those fields.

Bonus: How much would food cost without them?
Maelstroms Wake - You blocked me because you can't handle a confident, rational liberal making clear points.
Bob N - Those are good questions.

People do not like to admit that there is more to the illegal immigrant issue than...They are bad, make them leave.......If it were not financially profitable then believe me, there would have been an outcry from agricultural businesses, construction companies, janitorial and maid services and restaurants and other service industries......No they are all pretty quiet on the issue..These businesses tend to operate behind the scenes but you benefit everyday.....

Im doing an essay about California but Im not sure how the agriculture in California is. Im from NY and only was in California when I was only three but I don't remember so can you tell me about it please??

California is the world's fifth largest economy, and much of its productivity is in agriculture. Because of its size and varied geography, agriculture in California is as diverse as anywhere in the world.

You have a lot of material to work with. From citrus groves to wine country (grapes) to the nations "salad bowl" to cattle...the list goes on.
