FROM HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND TEACHERS, THROUGH LOCAL LEGISLATORS, MANY PEOPLE ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO SUPPORT CONTINUING AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION IN THE TRI-COUNTY AREA. THEY’VE JOINED A CAMPAIGN TO PUT PUBLIC PRESSURE ON GOVERNOR BROWN, WHO ELIMINATED THE AGRICULTURAL INCENTIVE GRANT FROM HIS JANUARY VERSION OF THE PROPOSED 2014-2015 STATE BUDGET. WITH CALIFORNIA THE LEADING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCING STATE IN THE NATION, THOSE WORKING TO SUPPORT CONTINUING AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION SAY IT WOULD BE A TRAVESTY FOR THE GOVERNOR TO TRY AND DROP AG EDUCATION FROM AREA SCHOOLS.
