Politicians want to kill Valley farming industry

I am not a farmer, and I am not a politician. I am someone who would like to be able to continue buying fresh produce grown here in the San Joaquin Valley instead of having to buy produce coming from another state or country. It seems to me that politicians want to put the San Joaquin Valley out of the farming industry without any concern for the people who live here.

I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this way. I know I’m being selfish for wanting the freshest produce I can get but that is how I feel.
