Just waiting for someone to make fun of the statement, that California produces 2/3 of the nation’s fruits and nuts...............

It was wonderful until the lunatics took over. Now they are sending out their acolytes out to ruin other states.

The little nagging logician inside me has to ask....

If workers in other industries get OT after 8 hours, why shouldn’t ag workers? Seems kind of arbitrary.

It’s the law here in PA, too.
In 1989, when I started my Family’s farm and nursery business, we accidentally paid OT, and the State’s Labor Dept and Ag Dept went nuts about it. We had to pay straight time to 40hrs, and start a new 40hr check for anything over that, at straight time.

All they need to do now is shut off the Water to the San Joaquin Valley and let half of the Farmland go fallow. Oh wait they already did that!!

Leave it to a Democrat legislature, and Governor to screw up the works. They never fail when it comes to screwing up.

almost all other workers get the benefit of this law (time and a half for overtime work)

maybe the law should be repealed, but as long as we have it.......?

Actually, that will make agriculture in other States more profitable, cutting jobs in California. Oh, and from an ultra-green/liberal perspective, that will also cut the wasteful use of water for agriculture and allow more of it to be used for the direct human consumption.

This isn't so much a tax on the rest of the Country as a readjustment of where things will be grown.

California is driving away businesses, jobs, and ultimately people with is regulations and its taxes. They are killing the golden goose.

I left California ten years ago and re-settled in West Virginia. Best decision I ever made. I just couldn`t stand the liberal lunacy ( I know, redundant) crime, traffic, etc. California is waaay over-rated IMHO

I try to buy American grown food but ultimately, if you have to buy from Mexico or Canada or worse, you’ll do it...

Buying California produce IS optional.

So, with less demand, California farming will decrease leaving more water for the Pacific Ocean, and more farmers will head to welfare office.

A win-win for socialists!

Depends what you eat. I am not severely affected by CA’s liberal insanity and idiocy.

Every crop that is grown in California is also grown in Mexico.
