S4 E9: Sorting through the ballot measure attacking Sonoma County farmers and ranchers
“Today, Sonoma County Family Farmers are under attack,” Sonoma County Farm Bureau’s website says. “A ballot measure is being proposed by an animal extremist group from Berkeley, CA, aimed to eliminate Sonoma County’s diverse animal agriculture production.”
This episode of Sorting Pen discusses what the ballot measure is, the potential impacts, and how to support Sonoma County farmers and ranchers amid this attack. Joining Katie on this episode to explain are Dayna Ghirardelli and Jennifer Beretta.
Dayna is Sonoma County Farm Bureau’s Executive Director. Jennifer is a fourth generation Sonoma County dairy farmer, board member of Sonoma Farm Bureau and dairy representative for the California Cattle Council.
