Delta

Opinion
By Jim Newton
From LA Times - Monday, June 25, 2012

Coalition response...No one is advocating the demise of family farms in the Delta. Current efforts to secure California's water future focus on developing a working plan that would improve reliability for 25 million Californians and family farmers who grow safe, healthy and affordable food. The Bay Delta Conservation Plan is still being developed and may include a peripheral canal/tunnel that would provide a more reliable water supply while protecting the fish and plants of the Delta. California's water future hinges on the continuation of these current efforts.

It is important to recognize that San Joaquin Valley farms are very similar to those farms in the Delta...they are owned and operated by families and individuals who are dedicated to their land and the crops they produce. Attempts to characterize the valley farmers as "big farms" as if they are different from others in the state is simply wrong and misleads the public.
