Issue Position: Defending Our Farms and Ag Workers

Issue Position

Sam Farr has long been a leader in the fight to preserve prime agricultural land for farming and to protect ag-related jobs. He's also pushed relentlessly to improve U.S. food inspection and tracking systems to protect public health and reduce the risk of produce industry shutdowns. He's delivered the funding for local agricultural research and water reclamation, and created a program in Salinas (the first in the nation) to help farm workers buy their own homes.
