Tom Del Beccaro: Farmers bear the brunt of a plethora of regulations

Year after year, government policies have been aimed squarely at California farmers as if they are the bad guy. One of the greatest advancements in the history of mankind occurred when one region of the world was able to produce such a surplus of food that it was able to send it to less fortunate regions. In doing so, they helped to alleviate food shortages and starvation. For more than 100 years, California farmers have played a key role in that effort. You would think that such a valuable economic resource would be cherished, promoted and helped at every turn. Incredibly, that is not the case in California. Instead, the California farmer bears the brunt of many a legislative or regulatory bulldozer.

California Air Resources Board standards on sprinkler pumps; restrictions on insecticides, fungicides and fumigants; and a plethora of government agencies capped by one of the highest income tax rates in the nation--all combine to put us at an economic disadvantage.
