It's a good problem to have. |
The Bay region is losing farmland and farms at a rapid rate. There's not the resources to sustain this industry. |
The bay's health remains dangerously out of balance and is stagnant. |
They are good for the bay if they are operated correctly. In fact, they far better than development. |
To fund this for one year is not going to help farmers, and it's not going to help the bay. |
We need a much more supportive infrastructure for farming. |
What we came to realize is the best way to protect the Bay is to keep a farmer farming. We'd much rather have a farm operating than having a suburban development go in. |
Without a doubt, the Bay Foundation has embraced the fact that we need to support farmers. |
