HUMAN GENE TP FIFTY THREE WAS
DISCOVERED AS A CONTRIBUTING
FACTOR TO WERE HEREDITARY
CANCERS WHEN THIS GENE IS ONE
MUTATED AN INDIVIDUAL'S CHANCE

RISK OF DEVELOPING LIFE

TADO TO THE MICROPHONE UP FOR
CENTER GROVE. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK
MY COLLEAGUES FOR INTRODUCING
THIS RESOLUTION AND I TO ASK FOR
AN AYE VOTE ON SR TWENTY TWO.
YOU KNOW- I JUST AS A SENATOR
THAT REPRESENTS THE THREE TOP
THE PRODUCING COUNTIES IN THE
WORLD- I'M GLAD THAT OUR
LEGISLATURE RECOGNIZE THE
IMPORTANCE PORTENTS OF THE
AGRICULTURAL IN OUR STATE AND I
THINK MY COLLEAGUE WHO HAS A
CONTINUOUS DISTRICT NEXT TO
MINE. WHERE WE OVERLAP A LOT OF
THESE FARMS AND WORKERS THAT
WORK IN THESE COMMUNITIES.
CALIFORNIA IS KNOWN FOR MORE OF
ITS BEACHES AND MOVIES- BUT IT'S
ALSO THE LARGEST FOOD PRODUCING
STATE WITH OVER FIFTY BILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR. AND IT LEADS THE
NATION IN DAIRY PRODUCTS GRAPES
ALMONDS AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER
COMMODITIES THAT REALLY ONLY
GROW HERE. IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. EVEN AS WE- FEEDING
FEEL THE NATION WE MUST REALIZE
THAT FOOD GROWS WHERE WATER
FLOWS AND I KNOW WE HAVE AN
ABUNDANCE OF WATER NOW. BUT FOR
OVER THE YEARS WE WEREN'T ABLE
TO GET WATER AND OUR SURFACE
WATER WAS DELAYED. OUR SERVICE
WATER WAS DELAYED AND OVER THE
YEARS- WE WEREN'T ABLE TO DRILL
FOR OR YOU KNOW PUT UP. US COMES
IN FOR WATER ON PROPERTY. AND
UNFORTUNATELY THIS RESOLUTION
DOES MENTION THE FACT THAT FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND ACRES OF
FARMLAND WILL BE. LOST BY TWENTY
FIFTY- IN OVER THREE THOUSAND
THREE THOUSAND ACRES WILL BE.
HIGHLY AB. THE WE GONE FOR
HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE OUT
AGRICULTURAL LAND. SO WHEN
INTRODUCING THIS LEGISLATION
PLACING THIS YEAR I'D LIKE TO
ENCOURAGE ALL YOU TO BE MINDFUL
ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER-
AND I KNOW WE HAVE AN ABUNDANCE
OF WATER NOW WE NEED TO REALLY
LOOK AT WATER STORAGE BECAUSE WE
HAVE TO HAVE A MECHANISM TO BE
ABLE TO PROVIDE. FOR FARMERS IN
A LONG TERM PERIOD. AND I JUST
WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE FOR
ORGANIZING AG DAY. FOR MAKING
SURE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY NEXT TUESDAY TO GO
OUT AND MEET FARMERS AND
RANCHERS. AND GET SOME WONDERFUL
PRODUCTS TAKEN BACK TO YOUR
STAFF THAT ARE GROWN RIGHT HERE.
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SO
THANK YOU AND I SUGGEST I ASKED
FOR AN AYE VOTE ON S. R. TWENTY
TWO. THANK YOU SENATOR GROWTH UP
RECOGNIZE SENATOR ALI. THANK YOU
MR PRESIDENT MEMBERS AYE AS THE
ONLY FARMER I BELIEVE ON THE
FLOOR OR IN THE- SENATE. IN NOW
AS MY Y. BEAUTIFUL. IN ASSEMBLY
WE- TO. HAVE BEEN FARMING
CALIFORNIA MY FAMILY FOR NINETY
TWO YEARS. AND CALIFORNIA IS IT
MY GRANDFATHER USED TO SAY-
CALIFORNIA IS VERY UNIQUE IT
HOUSE. OBVIOUSLY THE PACIFIC
WHERE WE GET THE STORMS HAS THAT
WE'VE SEEN IN THE LAST COUPLE
MONTHS. THIS YEAR'S CATCH THAT
WATER WE HAVE THE RIGHT CLIMATE
WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE HAVE
INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE NO OTHER
PLACE IN THE WORLD- TO. BE THE
LEADING IN THE WORLD WHEN IT
COMES ACT CULTURE NOT ONLY- FOR
OUR- PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THE
INDUSTRY BUT ALSO FOR THE TAX
SIDE OF IT- JUST IS NOT YOU KNOW
WE HAVE TRACTORS THAT. TO
BASICALLY DRIVE THEMSELVES HAVE
TO TURN AROUND AT THE END OF THE
FIELD AND THEY WILL DRIVE.
WITHIN ONE INCH STRAIGHT. AND
NOT JUST THE COST SAVINGS FOR
THE ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE OF THE
TECHNOLOGY. IS SOMETHING MOST
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT. YOU
HAVE THE 20% MORE PRODUCTION
WHEN YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF-
TECHNOLOGY. THAT HELPS-
CALIFORNIA ACT. WE'VE BEEN FACED
WITH- DROUGHTS AND FLOODS AND-
AND REGULATION QUITE FRANKLY-
YOU GUYS. MANY OF THE MEMBERS IT
SAID ON THE COMMITTEES WITH ME.
TALK ABOUT THE BILL YOU TO BE
ABLE TO STAY IN CALIFORNIA FARM
AND COMPETE. I JUST WANNA SAY.
THE A LOT OF LEGISLATION COMES
THROUGH HERE THAT WE ARE TRYING
TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT AT THE
SAME TIME WE NEED TO SAVE THOSE
JOBS. AND SAVE THOSE MAKE IT
ABILITY FOR FOOD PRODUCTION-
WHICH IS SOMETHING WE ALL HAVE
TO HAVE WE NEED WATER AND FOOD
TO SURVIVE THAT'S FOR SURE WE
KNOW THAT- BUT WE NEED TO BE
CONSCIOUS OF THE FACT THAT- THE
REGULATIONS THAT COME OUT HERE
MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR.
FAMILY FARMS AND IN CORPORATE
FARMS AS WELL. AND WE'VE SEEN A
CHANGE- AS A FAMILY FARMER. MANY
OF THE FAMILY FARMS ARE NOT.
ABLE TO FOR TO SURVIVE AGAINST
CORPORATE FARMS IN CALIFORNIA.
AND THE REASON BEING IS BECAUSE
THE SIZE OF A FARM MATTER SO
GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE- HARVESTER
IS. COMBINE WHICH I USE. A NEW
ONE TODAY WITH ALL THE
REGULATIONS WE HAVE ON IT IS
THREE TO FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS. WE USE THAT FOR TWO
WEEKS. AND WE CAN HARVEST A LOT
OF LATE A LOT OF CROPS IN TWO
WEEKS WILL IF YOU. HAVE TO SPEND
THAT KIND OF ANY FOR ONE PIECE
OF EQUIPMENT WHEN I HAVE FIFTY.
PIECES EQUIPMENT ON MY FARM. NOT
UPGRADE THOSE YOU HAVE TO
INCREASE YOUR LAN SIZE TO MAKE
IT WORK. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE
SEE FAMILY FARMER SELLING OUT TO
CORPORATIONS AND ACTUALLY
OPERATING THEIR FARMS. AND WE'RE
LOSING THAT. LEARN TRADE. IT'S A
LEARNED TRAIT YOU CAN GO TO CAL
POLY MY SONS WENT THERE TO GRADE
SCHOOL. GOOD ACTS COOL WE HAVE
MANY OF THOSE IN CALIFORNIA. BUT
AT THE END OF THE DAY. IT'S
STILL LEARNING THAT ON THE
GROUND. TRADITION AND LEARNING
THAT KNOWLEDGE FROM HANDED DOWN
BY GENERATIONS SO. WE NEED TO
FOCUS ON KEEPING THOSE FAMILY
FARMS BECAUSE THEY'RE THE
BACKBONE OF CALIFORNIA. I THINK
IT WAS MENTIONED IF A FEW DAYS
AGO. ABOUT FOR A FIVE HUNDRED
ACRES IN SMALLER FARMS ARE THE
LARGEST FARMS IN CALIFORNIA BUT
THEY'RE BEING GOBBLED UP BY. A
NATIONAL CORPORATIONS AND HEDGE
FUNDS QUITE FRANKLY ARE BUYING
MOST OF OUR LAND IN CALIFORNIA
SO WE NEED TO CONSCIOUS- AGDAY
IS A GREAT DAY TO COME OUT AND
SEE WHAT ALL THAT. THE
TECHNOLOGY IS. AND THE AND THE
WHAT WE DO HERE IN CALIFORNIA
IT'S AN AWESOME STORY ABOUT
CALIFORNIA. AND WE NEED TO
CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE
WATER. INFRASTRUCTURE AND TAKE
CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT THE SAME
TIME SO I. TOO WOULD LIKE TO
STAND AND- SUPPORT SR TWENTY TWO
AND TAKE MY COLLEAGUE FOR
BRINGING IT FORWARD. THANK YOU
CENTER DOLLY WILL GO UP NEXT TO
CENTER OPERATOR KILL. MORNING
THANK YOU I WOULD LIKE TO
ACKNOWLEDGE MY COLLEAGUE. THE
CHAIR OF THE AGRICULTURE
COMMITTEE AND THANK HER FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD- I AM
EXTREMELY EXCITED TO CELEBRATE
AS A STATE SENATOR. AGDAY HERE
IN CALIFORNIA ONE BECAUSE THIS
IS A PHENOMENAL OPPORTUNITY FOR
US TO BRING EDUCATION. INSTITUTE
AGDAY. HOW MANY OF OUR KIDS
ACTUALLY KNOW WHERE OUR FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES COME FROM. NO
IT'S NOT FROM THE GROCERY STORE
NO IT'S NOT FROM THE BACK OF OUR
OUR STV'S OUR VANS. IT COMES
FROM THE FRUIT FROM THE LABOR
FROM THE EVERYDAY WORK OF OUR
FARMERS AND OUR AGRICULTURAL
GROWERS HERE IN CALIFORNIA. SO I
CHALLENGES ALL TO USE THIS DAY
TO EDUCATE OUR MINDS AND OUR
BODIES AND BRING THAT INTO OUR
FAMILIES. AND TO HAVE THOSE
CONVERSATIONS AWARE. OUR FRUITS
OR VEGETABLES ARE NOT. OUR DAIRY
PRODUCTS COME FROM. I'VE NEVER
MET A CHARCUTERIE OR CHEESE
BOARD THAT I HAVE NOT LEFT.
EVERY SINGLE ITEM ON THERE.
COMES FROM THE BENEFIT OF OUR AG
COMMUNITY FOR US TO NURTURE OUR
BODIES. THE OTHER PIECE OF THIS
DAY THAT I FEEL IS SO VALUABLE
TO MENTION. IS THE NUTRITION AND
THE AND THE EDUCATION THAT WE
BRING INTO THE CLASSROOM FOR OUR
KIDS. DO YOU KNOW THAT IN
CALIFORNIA EVERY SINGLE DAY OUR
KIDS HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE.
MULTIMODAL SERVINGS OF MILK
WHOLESOME MILK THAT THEY CAN
NOURISH THEIR BODIES AND THEIR
MINDS AND BE READY TO LEARN IN
THE CLASSROOM. THAT IS
CALIFORNIA BECAUSE HERE IN THE
LEGISLATURE WE VOTED ON
UNIVERSAL MEALS IN SCHOOL SO
THAT'S WHOLESOME NUTRITIONAL AG
PRODUCTS THAT WE ARE SERVING OUR
KIDS TO HELP THEM GROW STRONG IN
CALIFORNIA. AND FOR THEM TO
FOLLOW IN OUR FOOTSTEPS THE
LEADING CALIFORNIA AS THE NEXT
STATE SENATORS THE NEXT ASSEMBLY
MEMBERS AND THE NEXT GOVERNORS
AND STATE LEADERS. THANK YOU I
URGE YOU TO VOTE. YES ON THIS
RESOLUTION AND ENCOURAGE YOU ALL
TO USE WORLD AG DAY OR NATIONAL
AGDAY- TO EDUCATE ON WHERE THAT
FOOD PRODUCE COMES FROM THANK
YOU. THANK YOU CENTER ROBERT GIL
NEXT STEPS DRAWS UP. THANK YOU
MR PRESIDENT- I TO RISE AND I.
IN SUPPORT OF SR TWENTY TWO AND
I THANK THE AUTHOR AND ALL MY
COLLEAGUES FOR YOUR COMMENTS- I
WANT TO THANK. EVERYONE IN THE
AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY FOR WHAT
YOU DO FOR NOT ONLY THE PEOPLE
OF CALIFORNIA PEOPLE THROUGHOUT
THE COUNTRY AND THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD BY GIVING US. THE FOODS
THAT WE NEED- HAVING BEEN A
FARMWORKER MYSELF THROUGH HIGH
SCHOOL. I KNOW WHAT IT TAKES FOR
A FAMILY- TO GET THROUGH- NOT
ONLY WORKING EVERY DAY BUT
LIVING IN THE CONDITIONS AND THE
WORKING. AND LIVING CONDITIONS
HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR YOUR
FAMILY SO I RISE ON THIS
OCCASION NOT ONLY TO THANK
EVERYONE IN THE INDUSTRY. BUT
ALSO TO REMIND US THAT WHEN THEY
NEED US. I'M FOR THE LAST
SEVERAL MONTHS WE'VE HAD. RAINS
AND STORMS WHICH IS MAKING IT
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR THE
WORKING PEOPLE IN THE IN THE
FIELDS IN AGRICULTURE. TO EVEN
GO TO WORK AND YET MANY OF THEM
A PREDOMINANT NUMBER OF THEM DO
NOT HAVE THE SAFETY NET TO RELY
ON TO SURVIVE IN BETWEEN THE
STORMS AND IN BETWEEN THIS
WEATHER SO THAT THEY COULD STAY.
PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE FOR
THEMSELVES SO I- JUST REMEMBER
AS THEY PROVIDE FOR US WE HAVE
TO BE READY TO PROVIDE FOR THEM
