To fund this for one year is not going to help farmers, and it's not going to help the bay.
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.
We need a much more supportive infrastructure for farming.
The bay's health remains dangerously out of balance and is stagnant.
The Bay region is losing farmland and farms at a rapid rate. There's not the resources to sustain this industry.
Without a doubt, the Bay Foundation has embraced the fact that we need to support farmers.
They are good for the bay if they are operated correctly. In fact, they far better than development.
