California Voice: To support farms, state regulators need to stay the course on this climate program

California’s farm families are really good at innovating to solve problems. I am proud to be a part of it.

I was born in the Central Valley and raised by immigrant parents. My work started when I was just a child helping my father, a farm manager, with odd jobs on the farm where he worked and where my family lived. Today, I am a farm manager at Bar 20 Dairy in Fresno County, where I have worked for the past 16 years.

In my career, I have seen a lot of progress made to farm more sustainably.
